Task F-18 Diagnoses steering, suspension, braking and control systems, tires, wheels, hubs and wheel bearings
Task Descriptor
Steering systems transmit inputs from the driver to the wheel assembly actuated through various mechanical and electrical inputs and outputs. The steering system is designed for precise directional control of the vehicle.
Suspension systems are used to support and cushion the vehicle, absorbing road surface irregularities and smoothing the vehicle ride. The suspension is designed for controlled movement over irregular surfaces.
Braking systems slow or stop the vehicle in a safe and controlled manner by using hydraulic or electronic controls. The vehicle braking systems are operated by the power unit that supplies hydraulic or electric inputs and outputs to various components such as calipers, wheel cylinders and actuators.
Control systems such as antilock braking systems (ABS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), traction control systems (TCS), dynamic stability control (DSC), and ADAS are incorporated into many of today’s vehicles.
Tires, wheels, hubs and wheel bearings are diagnosed by automotive service technicians in order to ensure the safe and correct operation of the vehicle such as wheel balance and wheel alignment.
Automotive service technicians diagnose these systems according to manufacturers’ service information.
