The air solenoid lets air in and out. Testing them is the clicking noise making sure they release. The ABS solenoid is testing making sure its working and if it's not then it pushes up diverting the air flow to the exhaust.

Spq13 Austin

This week we did air brake line connections and fittings. You did a demonstration on removing tie rod ends and explained how to install. Learning how to remove them is something I learned and the steps need to take to take out and assemble the tie rod ends like cleaning the tube with the thread cleaner. We did trouble shooting on the air comin out of the exhaust port on the valve on the Kenworth. Found it to be the brake can getting air bypast.

Hours this week: 34.5

This week all I did was brakes and bearings it seemed like. It was a good learning experience. Found out ways to set the bearing and different types of cones for automating setting. I am going next week into the powerstroke specialist and talk about internship.
