   ASE offers certification tests for automotive professionals through Prometric Test Centers. [3] These involve several exams, the passing of which, added with two years of relevant hands-on work experience, will merit certification. [4] The required experience can be substituted by one year of on-the-job training and a two-year training degree. [5]

3. Brake tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_tester

   A roller brake tester is a method of allowing the dynamic assessment of the braking system of a motor vehicle, whilst the vehicle itself is in a static condition.This type of brake tester is normally used in UK garages when used as part of an inspection lane for the MOT test.

4. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...

5. Automobile handling - Wikipedia

   When a wheel is pushed upwards by a bump in the road, the inertia of the wheel will cause it to be carried further upward above the height of the bump. If the force of the push is sufficiently large, the inertia of the wheel will cause the tire to completely lift off the road surface resulting in a loss of traction and control.

6. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.

7. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   The ECU constantly monitors the rotational speed of each wheel; if it detects the wheel rotating significantly slower than the speed of the vehicle, a condition indicative of impending wheel lock, it actuates the valves to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel, thus reducing the braking force on that wheel; the wheel then ...
