These two systems work in conjunction with each other for advanced safety systems including traction control and anti-roll stability controls. Practice is provided in diagnosing and servicing the automotive brakes systems. 

In the lab, students will learn a hands-on strategy to perform diagnosis, maintenance, and repair  of braking systems and learn how to use a variety of hand tools and diagnostic tools and processes.
