Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering
TKRO
The following is a detailed description of the Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering (TKRO) major, designed to provide a comprehensive overview for prospective students, parents, and school profiles (such as SMK Karya Nugraha Boyolali).
Getting to Know the Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering (TKRO) Major
Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering (TKRO) is a specialized field of automotive engineering that specifically studies the maintenance, repair, and damage analysis of light vehicles (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles).
This major no longer deals solely with conventional oils and engines. In the modern era, TKRO students are being trained to become tech-savvy technicians capable of operating digital measuring instruments, understanding computerized electrical systems (such as EFI/Injection systems), and even diagnosing damage using automotive scanners.
What Competencies Are Studied?
Students majoring in TKRO will receive a combination of fundamental theory and intensive practice in the school's workshop. The following are the main pillars of material mastered by TKRO students:
Light Vehicle Engine Maintenance (Engine System)
Performing tune-ups on conventional engines and fuel injection (EFI) systems.
Learning how gasoline and diesel engines work.
Overhauling major engine components to repair major damage.
Chassis and Power Train Maintenance
Maintaining and repairing clutch systems, transmissions (manual and automatic), and differentials.
Managing braking systems (including ABS), steering, and vehicle suspension.
Performing wheel alignment and balancing.
Vehicle Electrical Maintenance (Electrical System)
Understanding vehicle wiring diagrams.
Maintaining and repairing body electrical systems (lights, horn, wipers).
Managing starter systems, battery charging systems, and ignition systems.
Repairing and maintaining car air conditioning (AC) systems.
Computerized Engine Diagnosis and Management
Using emission test equipment and an engine scanner to read fault codes on the ECU (Engine Control Unit) of modern cars.
