Diagnose, service and repair automotive hydraulic systems.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Identify and follow safe work practices (e.g., avoid having pressurized hydraulic fluids pierce the skin or enter the bloodstream and avoid contact with brake fluid on painted surfaces) when working with automotive hydraulic systems, including maintaining a clean and organized work area. |
| (b) | Demonstrate the proper procedures for disposal of used hydraulic fluids and explain potential environmental concerns associated with disposal of hydraulic fluids. |
| (c) | Identify the properties of different hydraulic fluids (e.g., brake fluid and power steering fluid). |
| (d) | Explain how Pascal’s law applies to force, pressure and area in hydraulic systems. |
| (e) | Diagnose common hydraulic system failures such as air and fluid leaks. |
| (f) | Diagnose and repair hydraulic failures in automotive hydraulic systems (e.g., brake, clutch and power steering). |
