This is the second of two courses that teaches theory, service and repair of advanced automotive braking systems and steering and suspension systems. This course provides an in-depth study of the various mechanical and electronic steering and suspension systems used on today’s automobiles. This course will emphasize professional methods of diagnosis and repair for steering-related components and advanced alignment practices.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Demonstrate proper shop safety practices while in the labs. (a,d,h,i)
  2. Identify and explain operation of braking system components including hydraulic control devices. (a, b, e, f, i)
  3. Diagnose braking concerns. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
  4. Diagnose power assist braking concerns. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
  5. Explain ABS/TCS operation. (f)
  6. Retrieve and clear ABS and TCS trouble codes. (a, b, c, d, f, h)
  7. Diagnose ABS/TCS faults. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
  8. Explain the operation of and diagnose supplemental restraint devices. (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i)
  9. Describe operation of Electronic power steering systems. (e, f, g, i)
  10. Perform Advanced Four-wheel alignments procedures. (e, f, g, h, i)
