Regs Covered: Unit A1.4.1 Identification and Diagnosis of Malfunctions

This unit must teach driver-trainees to identify major combination vehicle systems. The goal is to explain their function and how to check all key vehicle systems, (e.g., engine, engine exhaust auxiliary systems, brakes, drive train, coupling systems, and suspension) to ensure their safe operation. Driver-trainees must be provided with a detailed description of each system, its importance to safe and efficient operation, and what is needed to keep the system in good operating condition.

Overview: Commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) are made up of many parts. Though these parts have individual jobs or functions, they work together to effectively and efficiently operate the vehicle.

This course is designed to help drivers identify defects in the engine compartment.

Objectives

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

• Explain the function of major vehicle systems
