Abstract

This course draws from previous knowledge gained in the Automotive Brake Theory and Lab courses; applies content gained in the Introduction to Hydraulics and Pneumatics course; and builds new related content and application to the heavy duty truck systems. Air system components will be identified and their functions studied individually and within the entire system. Multiple components will be removed, replaced, inspected, repaired and tested. Emphasis will be placed on general repairs and trouble-shooting.
