Content/Presentation/Demonstration Outline

Instruct students on brake system concerns along with the causes.

1. Brake Vibration: Shows up as chatter, vibration or shake in the brake pedal or steering wheel. Is present only when the brake pedal is applied. Usually, caused by a warped disc/rotor, or an out of round brake drum. Hard spots on the rotor or drum can also cause this problem. Replace or turn rotors or drums to eliminate problem.

2. Grabbing Brakes: Brakes that apply to quickly. Usually caused by brake fluid or grease on the linings, a faulty metering valve, a mechanical problem, or worn brake linings. Replace or repair defective parts.

3. Hard Pedal: A noticeable increase in the amount of pressure needed to apply the brakes. Can be caused by a frozen wheel cylinder or caliper piston, a clogged brake line, a disconnected/clogged brake booster vacuum line or defective booster, and contaminated linings or bad master cylinder.

4. Hard Pedal: A noticeable increase in the amount of pressure needed to apply the brakes. Can be caused by a frozen wheel cylinder or caliper piston, a clogged brake line, a disconnected/clogged brake booster vacuum line or defective booster, and contaminated linings or bad master cylinder.

5. Spongy Brake Pedal: Pedal feels like it is connected to a rubber band or spring. Pedal does not feel solid, but the brakes do apply. Pedal travel will also be further than normal. This is usually caused by air in the brake system. It can also be caused by maladjusted rear brakes and faulty residual pressure check valves.

6. Dropping Brake Pedal: Pedal moves all the way down to the floor when steady pressure is applied to it. Pedal can start out feeling normal, but then may drop. Usually caused by a leak in the master cylinder. Brake fluid is slowly leaking by the piston cups in the unit. Fluid level does not drop.

7. Low Brake Pedal: Pedal travels too far towards the floor before the brakes are applied. Brakes work normally once they are applied. Can be caused by inoperative brake adjusters, maladjusted master cylinder push rod, or a mechanical problem in the wheel brake assemblies.

8. Dragging Brakes: Brakes remain partially applied after the pedal is released. Brakes can overheat if driven too far. Can be caused by frozen wheel cylinder pistons, over-adjusted parking brake, weak return springs, over-adjusted master cylinder push rod, brake fluid contamination, clogged hose or line, stop lamp switch not adjusted properly, or a problem in the master cylinder such as the cap not venting.

9. No Brake Pedal: No braking action at all. Most likely caused by a leak or driver neglect. (Complete loss of braking is unlikely because of dual master cylinders.)

10. Brake Light On: Indicates an internal leak in the master cylinder, an external leak in the system, unequal pressure in the hydraulic system or the master cylinder.

11. Brake Noise: Some noise is normal, as when the brakes are first actuated in the morning when you first start out. Noises other than normal include grinding sounds that can be caused by metal-to-metal contact due to worn brake linings. The shoe or pad is rubbing on the rotor or drum. Squeaking noises may be caused by glazed (hardened) brake linings, unlubricated brake drum backing plate, foreign material embedded in the linings, or a wear indicator rubbing on the rotor. A rattle may be caused by a missing anti-rattle clip or spring in the brakes. Loose or disconnected parts in the drum brake assembly can also cause a rattle.

12. Instruct students that there may be other causes for many of these problems, but those indicated above are causes directly relating to the brake system.

Applications/Practice

Students can practice this task by practicing on shop vehicles when applicable. Instructor can duplicate many of these problems by installing these symptoms into a vehicle and allowing the students to get a “feel” for the problem. The student can diagnose based on the handout/chart and the instructor's descriptions, attempt to repair, and verify the repair.

Evaluation and feedback Prior to Testing or Lab Work

Objective 1. / Formative assessment / Instructor will observe students as they practice the procedure to assure correct procedure and safety practices are being followed. A checklist will be utilized to chart student progress on the task. Questioning techniques will be utilized as necessary to demonstrate student comprehension / Adaptations and/or accommodations for special needs students will be added if required.

STUDENT ASSESSMENT: (Assess student progress with performance criteria.)

1	Objective 1 / Summative assessment / written test questions on stated objective / adaptation and / or accommodations for special needs students will be added if required

IMPACT--Reflection/Analysis of Teaching and Learning: (How did students’ progress in relation to the state objectives? Was the instruction successful? Analyze samples of student work particularly that which is unsatisfactory, for the purpose of planning further instruction.)

REFINEMENT--Lesson Extension and Follow-up: (To be filled in as the lesson is modified during initial planning and/or during the teaching learning process.)
