Frequently Asked Questions
Students learn a range of things in the braking systems course, including how to diagnose and service wheel bearings, how to work with brake hydraulic systems, how to repair brake electrical and power assist systems and more.
Yes, UTI’s ABS course includes hands-on training in our industry-standard labs.18 Students utilize equipment such as hydraulic presses, hub trainers, chassis trainers and vehicles equipped with ABS, traction control and stability control systems.
Anti-lock braking systems are designed to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking by rapidly modulating brake pressure. This allows the driver to maintain steering control, enhancing vehicle safety. In contrast, conventional brake systems can cause wheels to lock during sudden stops, leading to skidding and loss of control.
The ABS course is a component of UTI’s core Automotive Technology program. It builds upon foundational courses in undercar systems and electrical fundamentals, providing essential knowledge and skills for aspiring automotive technicians.
The training provided in the braking systems course at UTI can help give you a foundation of knowledge that can be built upon when pursuing a role as a brake system technician.
