So, what would you have accepted as your starting rate?? Don't expect to jump right in at "A" level wages. Explain to me how a speed density system works. Why is there a 24x & 7x crank shaft sensor? What is a serial data line? Why does the PCM need to communicate with the EBCM on a vehicle with traction control? What is the purpose of variable valve timing? What is the purpose of a yaw rate sensor? What vital information does it send to the PCM & EBCM, and how do they respond? What's the difference between Passkey II & Passkey III?
Which one uses fuel circuit shutoff? How are these systems reprogrammed? This is just a drop in the bucket. Employers need to see how fast you can pick up and retain these things, and base your wages accordingly. I admire your enthusiasm, but you've got to start somewhere. I agree, $9.00 is kind of low to start. But, don't expect $20.00 to start either. My education has been ongoing, and will continue throughout the rest of my automotive career. Like it or not, that's just the way it is.
