Brakes and Traction Control: Testing and Inspection

Brakes, Testing

General Information

• The testing takes place on a test stand.

• During testing, automatic transmission vehicles must be in Neutral N.

• Always observe the test stand manufacturer's instructions.

• When the ignition is switched off brake control system does not work.

Checking

Brake test must be performed on a regulated brake test stand driven in opposite directions.

Moving in opposite directions means: The rollers on the brake test stand turn forward on the one side and backward on the other side.

Regulated means: The speed of the test stand rollers must be regulated in such a way as to avoid any speed difference during the brake test.

This prevents the brake forces from being transmission into the drive harness.

During testing, the wheel turning forward is measured, therefore two braking test are necessary on each axle.

Do not exceed a test speed of 6 km/h.

The Volkswagen approved test stand meets these requirements.
