Module Description:

This Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Braking and Steering Systems module consists of a PowerPoint presentation, lab, and syllabi designed to enhance automotive electrical courses with HEV technologies and was developed through seed funding from the Center for Advanced Automotive Technologies (CAAT).

Module Contents:

The PowerPoint presentation discusses the circuitry and operations for HEV braking and steering systems, variations from traditional braking and steering power assist, and how to service brake pads on a Ford Escape Hybrid.

The lab sheet should familiarize students with the variations and similarities between hybrid and conventional systems when servicing a HEV's brake pads such as placing the vehicle in “Pad Service Mode.”

The provided syllabi includes highlighted sections where these HEV technologies were incorporated into alignment, brakes, and suspension courses at Lewis and Clark Community College.
