Autel U.S. Hosts Advanced HVAC Diagnostic Training in New York

The one-day program, held at the Hilton Garden Inn Roslyn, targets both industry professionals and educators. The curriculum focuses on the MaxiHVAC AC909, a diagnostic tool designed to move service protocols away from traditional high- and low-side pressure readings toward a multi-layered analysis. By integrating live vehicle data with humidity, airflow, and sensor measurements, the system aims to provide a comprehensive view of how thermal components function in internal combustion, hybrid, and electric vehicles.

Founder Gary DeLuca, who led the development of the AC909, will co-lead the event alongside industry expert Gary Machiros. The sessions cover heat-pump systems, EV thermal management, and advanced leak-detection techniques. Scott Norman, Automotive Technology Program Coordinator at Pittsburg State University, characterized the jump in diagnostic capability as a transition from legacy software to modern computing, citing the tool's ability to streamline complex workflows. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with registration priced at $249.
