Description
Auto Brakes is designed for students to prepare for the ASE Certification Test A5. However, students can take this course strictly to enhance their skills and knowledge as well. It is expected that students will be working in a shop environment in order to get the hands-on experience needed while going through the course and gaining the knowledge and theory of auto brakes. This course will be using digital content from the publisher Goodheart-Willcox, and the digital book Auto Brakes, 5th Edition by Chris Johanson and Martin T. Stockel, Copyright 2021.
Auto Brakes presents design, operation, diagnosis, and service information to prepare students for on-the-job success. Brake system operation is fully explained before troubleshooting, service, and repair are discussed. Chapters on anti-lock brakes and traction control describe the operation, inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of these important systems. Scan tool use and trouble code retrieval for diagnosis is also covered. This text is a valuable resource for anyone who needs a thorough understanding of today’s brake systems, including those preparing for ASE Certification Test A5, Brakes.
