Course Content
Developed for garage technicians involved in the test and repair of
vehicle braking systems, this course will be of great benefi t to those technicians
who require training on Braking and ABS systems. The subjects covered are brake actuation
and hydraulics Bosch 2S, 2E and ABS 5 design systems. The knowledge and skills can
be applied to similar systems of non Bosch origin. The operation, maintenance and
testing of the system is covered enabling the workshop staff to apply approved methods
of safety when carrying out service and diagnostic procedures. It will also provide
the foundation knowledge and skills required for attendance on advanced chassis control
systems training.
Modules and subject areas
The course is divided into linked modules and subject areas,
which allow the essential underpinning theory and practical skills knowledge to be
delivered effectively. The modules and subject areas cover the following topics:
- Essential braking knowledge
- ABS systems overview
- ABS physical properties
- ABS functional overview
- ABS wheel speed sensors
- ABS systems overview 2 and 5
Attainment
On successful completion of VSC 6 delegates will be able to:
- Carry out fault diagnostic tests on typical ABS systems to identify system and component faults that need replacement or repair.
- Perform a complete typical ABS system test to prove the integrity of the system and the associated brake functions that are included with ABS control.
