Course Content
This course is intended for garage service technicians who carry out diagnostic and repair work on the ABS, ASR and ESP systems fitted to modern passenger cars.
The aim of this course is to provide delegates with a working knowledge of selected active braking control safety systems and equip them with the necessary diagnostic skills required for fault diagnosis on the wider range of systems. The knowledge gained on this course will enable confident and efficient fault evaluation on late model electronic braking systems. This will lead to safer and more accurate fault diagnosis and subsequent repair.
Modules and subject areas
The course is divided into linked modules and subject areas to allow the essential underpinning theory and practical skills knowledge to be delivered effectively. The course content includes the following subject areas:
• ABS working theory overview and associated controls
• Vehicle stability methods on early ABS systems
• Select low operation and cumulative yaw deceleration
• Engine drag torque control and electronic brake distribution
• Traction control methods, ECU control and implementation
• Active wheel speed sensor technology
• Bosch electronic stability programme systems
Attainment
On successful completion of VSC 13 delegates will be able to:
| • |
Carry out diagnostic test routines on active braking control systems and their individual components, utilising all available data for the evaluation of vehicle faults. |
| • |
Be able to identify the system and component faults that require replacement or repair where appropriate and complete comprehensive system tests to ensure full serviceability and safe operation. |
Prerequisites
The minimum prerequisites for this advanced vehicle systems course are the successful completion of courses VSE 1, VSTD 9, and VSC 6. Prior attendance on course VSE 7 will also aid understanding. Additionally, the appropriate equipment user’s courses are strongly recommended as delegates are expected to have experience with typical oscilloscope and diagnostic tester operation.
Assessment and Certification
The tests and practical tasks will be carried out using Bosch test equipment, System information, training notes and course material.
Delegates will be expected to complete a course examination.
A certificate of competence will be issued to those achieving a pass mark of 70% or over.
To obtain full Master Technician status the delegate is required to complete the Master Technician, one day practical and theory test. Upon successful completion, the delegate will be awarded with Bosch Master Technician status and certificate, awarded by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI).
Accreditation
All Bosch Master Technician programme courses are co-certified by the Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI) QAA scheme.
