In Automotive Technology Training? Exploring Cybersecurity in an Ultra-Connected Automotive Landscape

Automotive Training Centre

While servicing wheels and tires may seem purely mechanical, the role of sensors and electronic systems that monitor tire pressure and wheel speed has grown significantly. Cybersecurity is crucial to protect the integrity of the communication between these sensors and the vehicle’s electronic control units (ECUs).

Limited-Slip Differentials And Diagnostics

Brake & Front End

Electronic Differentials Some automakers are using the ABS system to control the differences in speed of the wheels on an axle. The torque-vectoring differentials can control the amount of power going to each wheel connected to the axle using hydraulics or electric solenoids. These can be found on performance cars and off-road trucks.

Simplifying AWD Systems

Brake & Front End

The brake hydraulic control module on these vehicles has at least 12 valves. These differentials can act like a locking, limited-slip or open differential with only a change of the electronically controlled clutches. If the car or truck is accelerating hard from a stop, the ETS will apply the brakes independently to prevent slipping.

Diagnosing Active Roll Bars

Brake & Front End

Where It Started: Hydraulic ARBs ARBs were introduced in the mid-to-late 1990s in some European vehicles. Hydraulic ARBs use hydraulic fluid to apply torsional force against the roll bar ( Figure 2 ). This is similar in principle to how hydraulic power steering systems apply force to the steering gear to provide steering assist.
