Automotive Service: Inspection, Maintenance, Repair, 4th edition evolved in part from my participation in a successful articulation program between local high schools and the community college where I have been a teacher for over 37 years. The text and art manu-scripts of this best-selling book have once again been updated and improved in this fourth edition revision. An array of excellent technical reviews by a dedicated group of professional teachers and technicians ensures that this is the most technically accurate and up-to-date comprehensive automotive textbook available in the marketplace. The text has been written from a care-fully detailed outline to allow each chapter to follow a logical, easy-to-understand path. Many new original color photographs and sketches have been added to update and supplement earlier material.

The transportation industry in North America is vast, with one in every six people contributing to it in some way. These include people of many levels of understanding and ability. With that in mind, the introductory fundamentals chapters are written at a lower level for all the students, whereas the service chapters are for those who have mastered the intro-ductory material.

As a teacher, my philosophy is to challenge the best students in anticipation that the rest will be brought to a higher level: “A rising tide raises all boats.”

The text can be used for a variety of educational purposes, including:

■ As a basic text in any automotive repair class■ To educate entry-level or apprentice technicians■ To prepare more experienced technicians for ASE

certification

Automotive Service: Inspection, Maintenance, Repair, 4th edition is divided into 79 chapters that cover the NATEF Auto General Service Technician Program Standards and A1–A8 (the eight ASE automotive specialty areas). Advanced engine performance and emission controls are also covered in detail. In addition to coverage of the usual repairs performed in almost any automotive repair facility, the reader is introduced to the most frequently performed inspection and service procedures—from safety inspections to tire and wheel service.

The automotive repair industry of today contin-ues to evolve into more of a maintenance industry as vehicles last longer and require fewer repairs. Long-term customer relationships, ethics, and professional-ism have become even more important to the success of a business. There are also environmental concerns today that were not a part of the industry of the past. The text includes chapters on safety, hand tools, and vehicle maintenance and lubrication that are more

comprehensive than those found in most comparable texts. An accompanying lab manual emphasizes the NATEF Auto General Service Technician Program Standards, those jobs done in service stations, fast-lube outlets, or mass merchandisers (such as Sears, Goodyear, Firestone, or Kmart). An additional lab workbook, Automotive Service Job Sheets for NATEF Task Mastery, covers the eight main ASE system areas.

Automobiles have become so complex in the last 30 years that to remain competent many of today’s technicians specialize in one or more systems of the car. Basic theory of all automotive and light truck systems is covered so that service personnel will under-stand the function of the parts being serviced. When working in the industry, there is often no time for basic theory. Therefore, automotive class work could be the one and only chance students have to learn how sys-tems operate so they can become better diagnosticians in the future.

This book is comprehensive in that it deals with the entire car and aims to teach theory of vehicle systems at an introductory student level, followed by service, diag-nosis, and light repairs at a more advanced student level.

Most of the systems used in automobiles today are strikingly similar. Repair techniques universal to all automobiles are discussed and procedures or condi-tions unique to only one specifi c automobile make are purposely avoided. The reader is encouraged to refer to the service and repair information for the specifi c vehicle in question.

A major challenge for me as an automotive author is to keep the scope of the book from growing out of control by expanding into areas of in-service train-ing best covered by manufacturers and aftermarket educators. My objective is to take an abundance of sometimes complicated information and condense and simplify that information so it can be understood by a student preparing for job-entry level. Following the completion of this text, better students will be at a high job-entry level, at a skill level suitable for entry as an apprentice in one or more of the specialty areas of automotive repair in a new car dealership or an independent repair shop.

A primary objective of this book is to help the reader develop confi dence in both thinking skills and problem-solving ability. One unique aspect of auto-motive education is that many automotive graduates venture into other professions and skilled trades, such as engineering or construction. They will fi nd much of the material learned in automotive classes to be very valuable and useful in their chosen fi elds. This aspect of the student’s education is especially valuable when one considers how middle school and high school industrial arts programs have been scaled back in recent

years. Dealing with such things as tools, soldering, basic electrical repairs, and repairing broken fasteners helps to provide some measure of practical education.

The tremendous decline in the number of corner gasoline service stations has resulted in a loss of those jobs formerly available in abundance to students. Suc-cessful service personnel who possess necessary basic automotive skills must continually learn new things in order to progress into other (higher-paying) specialty areas. The Lab Manual to Accompany Automotive Service contains service jobs that students should be able to perform before enrolling in an advanced automotive specialty area class.

xx TABLE OF CONTENTS

DEDICATION The completion of this book was made possible with help from a great many individuals. Automotive Service: Inspection, Maintenance, Repair, 4th edition is dedicated to them and to my wife, Joy. Her organizational skills and able assistance have been invaluable. Writing a 1,500-page comprehensive text-book with many thousands of photos and sketches is a daunting task. I would not be able to concentrate as much of my time on the important upgrading and editorial work if I did not have Joy organizing the art package and submit-ting fi nal manuscript changes to the publisher. She retired from her full-time job to help with this project and has been especially helpful.

Tim Gilles has authored and coauthored several textbooks. He has been an auto-motive teacher since 1973 and is a professor in the Automotive Technology Department at Santa Barbara City College. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Long Beach State University and a Master of Arts degree in Occupational Education from Chicago State University. He holds the industry certifi cations of ASE Master Engine Machinist and ASE Master Automotive Technician.

Tim has been active in professional associations for many years, as presi-dent and board member of the California Automotive Teachers (CAT) and as a board member and election committee chair of the North American Council of Automotive Teachers (NACAT). He is a frequent seminar presenter at association conferences. Tim has been a longtime member of the California Community College Chancellor’s Trade and Industry Advisory Committee.

FEATURES

OBJECTIVES

Each chapter begins with a list of the most impor-tant points discussed in the chapter. This list of objectives is intended to provide the student with a general idea of what he or she will be studying.

KEY TERMS

Each chapter contains a list of new terms to know. These terms are highlighted in bold in the text. Defi nitions of these terms can be found in the glossary.

CAUTIONS

Cautions are urgent warnings that personal injury or property damage could occur if careful preven-tive steps are not taken.

SHOP TIPS

Appropriate shop tips are described throughout the text. These tips provide shortcuts and empha-size fi ne-tuning procedures to shop practices com-monly performed by experienced technicians.

NOTES

Notes are used throughout the text to highlight especially important topics.

VINTAGE SYSTEM NOTES

Boxed information on vintage systems (and related parts) puts today’s newer technologies in historical perspective and offers insights into the development of the automobile. Vintage notes are not only interesting but may even help the reader repair or restore vintage cars. This has become an important part of many automotive businesses.

OF THE TEXT

can pass before the engine’s oil pump can distribute oil

to the entire engine. During this interval, called dry

start, parts can rub and wear results.NOTE: The amount of wear that occurs during this short

amount of time is equivalent to that caused by hundreds of

miles of freeway driving. Most vehicle manufacturers now

specify the use of thinner oils, which reach engine compo-

nents more quickly after startup.

INTRODUCTION In theory, all moving parts are separated by a thin

layer of oil (Figure 12.1). Oil is supplied to engine

parts by an oil pump (Figure 12.2). If oil is properly

maintained so dirt cannot accumulate, then very little

wear should occur. The life expectancy of an engine in

the 1960s was about 100,000 miles. Today, a properly

maintained engine can last twice as long with less wear.

Under normal conditions, the only time a breakdown

in lubrication occurs is just after an engine is started

in the morning. The crankshaft rests on its bearings

until a wedge of oil is reestablished after pressurized

oil reaches the bearings (Figure 12.3). A few seconds

Automotive Hoses 341

Apply some rubber cement gasket sealer to new hose connections to prevent air leakage

when using a constant diameter or screw clamp.

SHOPTIPSHOPTIP

Be certain that a newly installed hose does not contact drive belts, fuel lines, or the radiator cooling fan.

SAFETYNOTESAFETYNOTE

Replacing a Heater HoseSometimes the heater hoses on a car are two different

diameters. The size is determined by the I.D. of the hose.

Hose comes in long rolls. Be sure that you select the cor-

rect size hose before cutting it off the main hose roll.

Twist the old heater hose to loosen it. If it does not

remove easily, cut it carefully with a sharp knife. When

installing the new section of hose, check the following:

■ Be certain that the hose does not interfere with

manifolds, drive belts, or spark plug cables.■ Check to see that the hose will not be damaged by

movement of the engine or accessories.Position the screw side of a screw clamp for easy

access. On lower radiator hoses, an extra-long screw-

driver or ¼" drive socket and extension can be used

to tighten the hose clamp from the top of the engine

compartment. Be sure the screw on the hose clamp is

positioned so it cannot accidentally come into contact

with the cooling fan.

When a hose is diffi cult to install, apply a small amount of soap to the connection.

SHOPTIPSHOPTIP

By-Pass Hose ReplacementObtain the correct replacement hose and compare

it to the existing hose (Figure 23.16). Sometimes

Figure 23.15 Clean the hose fi tting before installing the

new hose. The

pora

tion

by-pass hoses must be cut to length. Use the old hose

as a template.

Do not try to substitute an unmolded hose for a molded by-pass hose. It can

fold when bent, restricting coolant fl ow.

CAUTIONCAUTION

Power Steering Hose ServiceWhen checking a power steering hose, look for signs

of leakage or dampness at the connections. Also, look

for signs of deterioration, such as cracks, signs of

rubbing, or swelling. A failed pressure hose can leak,

blowing oil onto an exhaust manifold, where it can

cause a fi re.

Power steering fl uid, which is not fl am-mable at engine operating tempera-

ture, is fl ammable at temperatures a little above 300°F (lower than the temperature of

an exhaust manifold).

CAUTIONCAUTION

Purchase the correct replacement hose and replace

the old one. Parts stores have extensive illustrated list-

ings for power steering hoses. It is also a good idea to

compare the new hose to the old hose to be sure that

the length and fi ttings are identical.

Exact replacement hydraulic hoses are sometimes not avail able. Some businesses

have special equip ment for making hydrau-

lic hoses. Check with a business that deals

with heavy truck, industrial, or farm implement

accounts.

Cooling System Service 319

Drain the coolant into a clean drain pan. This is especially important if it is to be

reused, if the customer has recently had the

coolant changed, for instance. The customer will

most likely be unhappy if he or she is billed again

for new coolant.

SHOPTIPSHOPTIP

Loosen and remove all of the fasteners. Then

remove the pump and clean all remnants of the old

gasket off the engine. Be careful not to accidentally

gouge aluminum parts.Inspect the Old PumpInspect the old pump. Water pump impellers are made

of steel or plastic. Carefully inspect the impeller for ero-

sion, looseness, or breakage. If pieces break off the impel-

ler they will go into the block and, possibly, the radiator. Selecting a Replacement PumpReplacement water pumps are usually new, although

rebuilt pumps are available for some vintage engines.

When buying a rebuilt pump, the old one must be

turned in as a core, which is an old rebuildable part.

Carefully compare the new pump with the old one,

before leaving the parts store, if possible.

In some applications that use serpentine belts, the water pump is driven from the

bottom side, using the back of the belt. The

water pump turns the opposite direction of

a V-belt-driven pump. Be sure the correct pump is

installed or the impeller will be rotating backward,

resulting in engine overheating.

SHOPTIPSHOPTIP

Installing the New PumpSome water pumps have a steel cover plate attached

to the back. Check to see that the screws that hold

the cover are tight. Be sure that all gasket material is

thoroughly removed from the surface where the water

pump mates to the block. Be careful that any O-rings,

hoses, or gaskets are not damaged or forced during

assembly. Water pumps are often sealed to the block

with an artifi cial rubber O-ring. If the pump uses a

paper gasket, glue it to the pump with rubber cement.

If a chemical gasket is specifi ed, be sure that the sur-

faces of the pump and block have been cleaned of all

oil and coolant so that the chemical can stick. Verify

that the pump is perfectly fl at against the block before

tightening any fasteners.Refi lling the Cooling SystemFill the radiator with clean coolant mixed in the cor-

rect proportion. Inspect the hose from the radiator

■ A pump seal can fail because of bearing failure,

corrosion of the shaft, or dirt.■ The seal can become red hot if it is run without

coolant when a radiator boils over. Adding cold

water to an overheated system can shock the hot

seal, causing it to crack.■ When a vehicle sits for a prolonged period with a

dry or dirty cooling system, the water pump seal

sometimes sticks to the shaft. When the engine is

started, it breaks loose, resulting in a leak.Worn BearingA worn water pump shaft bearing can be a result of seal

failure. With the engine running, a stethoscope can be

used to listen to a bad bearing. Before replacing a pump,

loosen the drive belt and feel for roughness in the bear-

ing. It should turn freely and smoothly, without end play.Worn or Broken ImpellerSometimes a water pump impeller can be loose or bro-

ken, but this is rare. Look for water pump action in the

radiator with the engine warm and running. A broken

impeller can cause vibration and engine overheating,

especially at freeway speeds.Water Pump ReplacementThere are various types of water pump installations on

new vehicles. When in doubt about the procedure to

follow for pump removal, consult the service informa-

tion for the vehicle. When the engine does not have a

single serpentine drive belt, there are times when other

accessory belts must be removed to get to the belt that

drives the pump. When loosening belts, loosen the

accessory attachment bolts only slightly, just enough

to be able to move the accessory.

Look here for leakageFigure 21.37 The pump seal has failed when leakage is

evident at the vent hole. Tim G

NOTE: Some technicians routinely replace steel core

plugs in cast iron blocks with brass ones that will not

corrode. If coolant is regularly maintained, this is an

unnecessary practice. It is a good idea for boat engines,

however.

WATER PUMP SERVICECoolant pumps have been traditionally called water

pumps. They are often replaced after many years

and miles of service when they begin to leak or make

noise.

Leaking Water PumpSome pumps have a vent hole or weep hole in the

bottom of the pump (Figure 21.37). Leakage from

a water pump will usually be visible from the hole.

A water pump leak can also appear to be from the

lower radiator hose. Use a mirror to look at the weep

hole. Pressurize the system if necessary with a pressure

tester.

An apprentice technician was overhaul-ing an engine and removed the core plugs. The wall of one of the cylinders was posi-tioned directly behind a core plug. The

core plug became wedged between the block and the

cylinder wall, so he forced it out. A cylinder wall is not

very rigid and can easily become distorted when some-

thing is forced against it.During reassembly, the apprentice attempted to rein-

stall the piston and rings, but the piston would not fi t

easily into the cylinder. When the shop master techni-

cian measured the cylinder, he found that it was out

of round by 0.005". The piston clearance specifi cation

was 0.002". The block had to be sent out to a machine

shop for boring and honing because the cylinder wall

had been distorted during core plug removal.

CASEHISTORYCASEHISTORY

Core Plug InstallationBefore installing a core plug in an iron block, clean the

opening in the block with sandpaper or emery cloth.

Put some sealer on the sides of the new core plug and

pound it into place with a core plug driver or a socket

that fi ts loosely into the inside diameter of the plug

(Figure 21.35). Check to see that the driver contacts

the core plug only on its inside surface and not on its

outer sealing edge. Be careful to drive the core plug

straight into its bore. A core plug seals on its outer lip.

It is correctly installed when the lip is against the bore.

Pound it in until the outside sealing edge is just below

the chamfer that is on the outside of the core plug bore

(Figure 21.36).

clearance, just enough to allow oil to leak below to

lubricate the camshaft lobes.CRANKSHAFT DESIGNThe crankshaft converts the reciprocating (up-and-

down) motion of the pistons to rotary motion. The

polished crankshaft bearing surfaces are called journals. Main Bearing JournalsThe main bearing journals are the ones that support the

crankshaft as it turns in the block. The journals that

are in line on the same axis as the front and rear jour-

nals are all main bearing journals.Rod Bearing JournalsJournals that are offset from the main bearing journal

centerline are called rod journals or crankpins. Connect-

ing rod journals transfer up-and-down motion between

the crankshaft and connecting rod. Rod journals are

also known as crankpins. As described in Chapter 15,

connecting rod journals are offset at 90-degree angles

for eight cylinders, 120-degree angles for even-fi re six

cylinders, and 180-degree angles for four cylinders.

The crankshaft has oil passages drilled from the main

journals to the rod journals. This allows ilsure to reach the co

VINTAGE ENGINESAlmost all vintage engines suffered from taper and

out-of-round cylinder wall wear. Older engines used

piston rings that had higher tension than today’s

rings. A bigger factor in cylinder wall wear in older

engines, however, was that they used a fuel deliv-

ery system that had a carburetor with a choke. The

choke closed off incoming air to provide a richer

mixture for better cold driveability. A carburetor

choke is nowhere near as effi cient, however, in

delivering fuel to a cold engine as a fuel injection

system. Oil cannot be burned from the surface of a

cylinder wall, but it can be washed away by fuel and

then burned in the combustion chamber. When an

engine was cold, the carburetor would routinely

provide too much fuel. This would wash oil from

the cylinder walls, leaving them susceptible to

increased wear.

When piston-to-cylinder-wall clearance is within

specifi cations, out-of-round wear is minimal. When

there is excessive piston skirt clearance, out-of-round

wear can result when the piston tilts from one side to

the other as it stops and changes direction at the top

of the cylinder.CYLINDER SLEEVESAluminum blocks usually have permanently installed

iron cylinder sleeves. Heavy-duty engines and some

vintage automotive engines use replaceable cylinder

bores, called wet or dry sleeves. When a cylinder wall

is cracked or rusted or the block has a serious defect,

if the wear in all the other cylinders is acceptable the

damaged cylinder can be bored oversize for installa-

tion of a pressed-fi t dry sleeve (see Chapter 53). Some

heavy-duty engines use removable wet sleeves that dif-

fer from conventional sleeves in that they only contact

the block at the upper and lower ends of the cylinder

to prevent coolant leakage. MAIN BEARING CAPSAt the factory, main bearing bores are machined with

the bearing caps in place. Main caps are not inter-

changeable and must be returned to the same bearing

bores from which they were removed. Two-bolt main

bearing caps are the norm, but some hperformance and lb

SAFETY NOTES

Safety is the number-one priority in an automo-tive shop. There are numerous safety notes placed throughout the text. Most of the safety notes have been taken from real-world experiences and many are accompanied by actual case histories.

CASE HISTORIES

Case histories are presented throughout the text. These true stories recount actual automotive situ-ations encountered by the author in over 30 years in automotive service. Case histories present the reader with examples of the pattern of critical thinking skills required to diagnose automotive problems.

SCIENCE, HISTORY, COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND MATH NOTES

These notes are included when interesting top-ics relating to them are covered in the text. The objective of these features is to pique the student’s interest and show a correlation between his or her automotive studies and these areas of learning.

REVIEW QUESTIONS

These questions guide the student to the most important points in the chapter and act as a check for understanding of the material. Each chapter’s review questions are presented in the same order in which they appear in the chapter. This pro-vides an instructor with the fl exibility to assign portions of the chapter to read and then follow up with a few of the study questions.

ASE-STYLE REVIEW QUESTIONS

These questions are designed to provide prepa-ration for the certifi cation examinations admin-istered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). The ASE test is a task-ori-ented test (the test taker is supposed to be able to relate to shop-oriented questions), so the practice tests should help the student in becoming famil-iar with accepted trade procedures.

Automotive Plumbing: Tubing and Pipe 351

Do not replace steel tubing fuel or brake

lines with copper. As copper line fl exes

and vibrates, it work hardens and can

crack.

SAFETYNOTE

SAFETYNOTE

Cutting Tubing

When tubing is cut to length, it must be square on the

end. A tubing cutter is good for this (Figure 24.22).

Using a hacksaw will leave a rough edge that might not

be square. Dressing the end of the tubing with a fi le can

leave metal chips in the end of the tube. If the metal chips

are not removed, serious damage to parts can result.

When cutting tubing with a tubing cutter, the

tool is tightened against the tubing. Then it is rolled

around the tubing while continuously tightening the

handle to advance the cutter as it moves further into

the tubing. Be careful not to advance the cutter too fast

as it fi nishes cutting through the tubing. If the cutter

breaks through too fast, the tubing can be damaged.

After the tubing has been cut, a burr usually

remains on the end. Most tubing cutters have a reamer

blade for removing the burr (Figure 24.23). Be sure to

remove metal chips from the end of the tubing after

completing the cut.

Some tubing cutters are very small. In tight quar-

ters, these can be used for repairing damaged tubing on

the vehicle. The tubing cutter shown in Figure 24.24

is especially handy for this.

Bending Tubing

Be especially aware when bending tubing because too

sharp a bend can kink and restrict the tubing. A tubing

bender can be used to form tubing (Figure 24.25).

Tubing can also be bent by holding it over a large piece

of pipe and slowly forming it. Use the tubing being

replaced as a guide and be careful not to bend the tub-

ing too sharply.

Install the fi ttings and fl are both ends before

bending the tubing. Otherwise, if the bend is too

SHUTOFF VALVES

Shutoff valves, also called draincocks, are often found

on the bottom of a radiator. Turning the end of the

valve one way or the other opens it or closes it. Plastic

radiator tanks usually have a plastic drain valve.

TUBING SERVICE

Tubing is purchased in 25-foot rolls or in straight precut

lengths with fl are fi ttings at each end. Precut brake tub-

ing usually has a short fl are nut at one end and a long

fl are nut at the other end. If the tubing being replaced

has bends, measure it using a piece of string to deter-

mine the correct length.

When unrolling bulk tubing, be careful not to kink

it. Unroll it in the same direction that it was rolled.

When fi ttings are to be installed on the line, add an addi-

tional 1⁄8" at each end for the fl are to be formed (¼" total).

Flared tubing is held tightly against a seat in the

fi tting. Always use two wrenches when loosening a

fl ared tubing connection. Use a tubing wrench or

fl are-nut wrench and an open-end wrench. The sec-

ond wrench holds the female part of the fi tting. If the

female fi tting is allowed to turn when the male fl are

fi tting is turned with a wrench, the tubing will kink.

Damaged steel fuel lines can be cut and repaired,

or new lines can be fabricated using a fl aring tool. Use

only seamless steel tubing.

314 CHAPTER 21INTERNAL LEAKS

A leaking head gasket or a crack in a cylinder head or

bore can result in an internal leak (Figure 21.28).

When there is an internal leak, coolant will fl ow into

the cylinder during the intake stroke and when the

engine is off. During combustion, exhaust gas is forced

into the cooling system and can appear as bubbles in

the radiator (Figure 21.29). There are several tests

that can be done to confi rm an internal leak.

An effective way of determining whether

coolant is leaking into a cylinder is as follows:

■ Pressurize the cooling system with a

cooling system pressure tester.

■ Allow the vehicle to sit overnight with the

cooling system pressurized.

■ Remove all of the spark plugs.

■ Hold paper in front of the spark plug holes

while cranking the engine. If coolant is leaking

into a cylinder, the paper in front of that spark

plug hole will become wet.

SHOPTIPSHOPTIP

Bubble Test

Look for bubbles in the radiator when the engine is

warm and under a load. Rapidly accelerating the engine

is usually enough of a load to produce the bubbles.

NOTE: Cracks tend to leak more when the engine is cold.

After warmup, the crack closes.

When pressure caused by a combustion leak

exceeds the pressure of the radiator cap spring, the

radiator cap will spew coolant. To verify that this is

caused by combustion pressure, put the radiator over-

fl ow hose into a container of water while the engine

A student wanted to replace leaking core

plugs on the back of the block between the

engine and the transmission. He removed

the automatic transmission from the car

and removed the fl explate from the back of the crank-

shaft. Unfortunately, the block he was working on did

not have core plugs on the back. When he pressurized

the cooling system, he found that a core plug behind

one of the engine mounts on the side of the block was

leaking. Coolant was running down the edge of the

oil pan to the rear of the block, where it appeared to

be coming from behind the fl ywheel. If he had used a

pressure tester and fl ashlight to lo cate the leak before

attempting the repair, he would have saved a good deal

of needless work.

Coolant Outlet Housing Inspection

Inspect the coolant outlet (thermostat) housing for leaks

or damage. Aluminum housings sometimes suffer elec-

trolysis damage. When replacing a coolant outlet hous-

ing, install an aluminum housing on an aluminum head

and an iron housing on an iron head. Be sure to position

the hose clamp in the correct place to prevent corrosion

between the hose and the housing (Figure 21.27).

the bladder and pressure sensor. The occupant-sensing

module is sometimes called the occupant classifi cation

module.Another method of weight sensing uses a strain

gauge at each corner of the seat frame (Figure

34.26) where they support the seat. A circuit board

bonded to each gauge has a metallic foil grid that

changes resistance under strain. When the weight on

the seat changes, sensor voltage output information

to the occupant-sensing module changes as well.

Driver- and passenger-side seat track position sensors

are also part of some systems. All of this information

is analyzed by the computer when it deploys the air

bags.

senger seat is occupied and the air bag is disabled.

■■ SCIENCE AND MATH NOTE ■■

Air bag deployment is based on the rate of change in

acceleration measured by the accelerometer. The rate

of change, called JERK, is mapped through time by a

mathematical algorithm. The algorithm, based on a

genetic model, is used to make the complex decisions

during a crash regarding whether, and how to, deploy

the system. The algorithm improves each year as more

is learned about crash protection.

The computer repeatedly monitors the acceler-

ometer value during fractions of a second. In GM’s

system, when an average of four consecutive samples

exceeds a force of 1–2 g, the algorithm is enabled and

determines whether a deployment should occur. This

decision is made very fast (in less than 20 mS). An air

bag is usually fully infl ated within 50 mS of impact. A

millisecond is 1/1000 of a second. Fully infl ating an air

bag in 50/1000 of a second is remarkable.

Although the mathematical calculations regard-

ing crashes are becoming more sophisticated with

experience, accidents like collisions with a tree or pole

are diffi cult for the algorithm to resolve because they

provides a slower event. Imagine driving into a saw

blade that cuts the car in half but does not provide the

accelerometer with a measurable “g” force.

Newer systems are able to consider vehicular forces

during a rollover. An angular rate sensor tells how

quickly the vehicle is rolling over and how many times

it rolls. It includes automatic fuel cutoff and automatic

battery disconnect. Current systems allow the air bag

to stay infl ated for up to 7 seconds. Chances of a roll-

over lasting longer than this are remote.

When a vehicle has a satellite communication sys-

tem, computers that are part of the air bag system can

sense that an accident has occurred and send emer-

gency vehicles to the site.

Radar-based systems can sense when a vehicle will

not be able to stop in time to avoid an accident and

the computer will begin air bag deployment. The same

system is used for adjustable distance cruise control,

discussed later.

and reassign jobs to any groups where the assigned person did not bring a car. The LTA or teacher will

inform the security guard at the kiosk that no permits are to be honored unless they have a handwrit-

ten note from the instructor giving permission to be late. The reason for this is that the people who are

tardy will already have had their project reassigned to another person in the group.

❏ Check add cards to see that they have been processed by admissions

❏ Spend about 45 minutes covering lift points, the Car Care Guide (lift points only). Demo the lifts

and jacks.❏ Show the lab manual, go over lab assignment sheet #1, and the lab schedule. There is a lab assign-

ment sheet for each week’s lab. All labs must be completed before other lab projects can be under-

taken. ❏ Describe the difference between 10 ton, 2 ton, and 1 1/2 ton Jacks, use transparency.

❏ Tell personal stories related to safety as you read each safety test question and put the answer on

the board for them to copy onto the copy of the test that will be saved in our file.

Go to lab for the demo and return to class afterward for the safety presentation

❏ Safety test from book. Pass out the safety test and have them fill them in. Put all answers to safe-

ty test on board. Most of them were covered last time during the service station safety section.

Put a wrong answer on the board, even though you read the right sentence. Substituting “acid”

for “water” works well. See how many of them write the wrong word down because they were

not paying attention. Try it again and you’ll probably still catch some of them. Have them cor-

rect each others’ test and then fix any wrong answers.

❏ Describe the Starburst symbol on a can of oil.

❏ Tell people bringing oil changes to look up their oil capacity in the Car Care Guide first, or bring

5 quarts to be safe. Next class is lecture/demo only. Oil changes will be half of the class after it.

Find one student who wants to bring in a car with oil and a filter to have demonstrated next class (lec-

ture day).

❏ After the safety test have a shop tour.❏ If time remains after the tour, they can complete their jacking and lifting assignments and get their

shop workbooks signed off Demo:Show them how to locate lift points for their vehicle in the Car Care Guide. Look up the lift points for

the demo shop cars, Xerox them and have them inside the windshield so you can show the beginners

where the lift points are and what the sheet that they should be xeroxing looks like.
