Automotive Brake Systems, 7/e covers every electrical and electronic
brake component found on vehicles today, as well as the practical skills
that students must master to be successful in the industry. Written by a
service technician and an automotive instructor--not a technical
writer--and fully up to date with the latest electrical and electronic
brake systems devices and systems used since 2005, the text is revered
as the best available text on the subject. Formatted to appeal to
today's technical trade students, Halderman's text uses helpful tips and
visuals to bring concepts to life and guide students through the
procedures they'll use on the job.
To keep your course current, all of the content is correlated to the
latest NATEF tasks and ASE areas for Automotive Brake Systems (A5), and
new or updated information is included on such topics as brake friction
materials, qualifying a brake lathe, the GM regular production code
(RPO), ceramic brake pads and environmental concerns of copper in brake
friction material, the BCM control of the red brake warning light, and
brake line corrosion reduction coating.
