Periodic Maintenance

General damage to your vehicle is inevitable, and it would usually have a finite life span before eventually being retired from operations. The good news is your vehicle doesn’t just go end-of-life overnight. Periodic Maintenance requires maintenance tasks to be performed at set time intervals while your vehicle is operational. Periodic maintenance services are planned ahead of time and are performed regardless of whether signs of deterioration show up or not.

SRS (Airbag) System

The SRS Airbag System is designed to supplement the seatbelt system and improve occupant protection in certain types of crushes. Airbags supplement the seat belt and enhance passenger safety in certain types of collision. All kinds of airbags were developed and adopted, including Driver’s side Airbags (1989), Passenger Side Airbags (1992), Side Airbags (1996), Side Curtain Airbags (1998), and Knee Airbags (2002). In the case of the SRS Airbag (Driver’s side), a sensor will detect the impact and calculate the collision intensity and deploy the airbag. The time it takes for the airbag to finish deploying is approximately 0.03 seconds. That deployed airbag will deflate and the total time it takes is about 0.1 seconds. The human eye blinks for about 0.1 -0.3 seconds. For this reason, some who have been near an airbag deployment report didn’t see the airbag expand because it happens so rapidly.

Brake and ABS

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the vehicle. ABS is an automated system that uses the principles of threshold braking and cadence braking, techniques that were once practiced by skillful drivers before ABS was widespread. ABS operates at a much faster rate and more effectively than most drivers could manage. Although ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces, on loose gravel or snow-covered surfaces ABS may significantly increase braking distance, while still improving steering control. Since ABS was introduced in production vehicles, such systems have become increasingly sophisticated and effective. Modern versions may not only prevent wheel lock under braking but may also alter the front-to-rear brake bias. This latter function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known variously as electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).

HV and EV System

High-voltage (HV) systems in today’s electric vehicles (EVs) have vast amounts of power to efficiently propel a car down the road, but storing and using all that power has certain inherent risks. Although generally safe for the owner or operator of the vehicle, the HV system poses more risks to the service or collision repair technician who performs work on the vehicle. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the safety systems commonly used in HV systems.

Electrical System

At the most basic level, your car’s electrical system includes both a starting system and a charging system. These are responsible for starting your engine and keeping your battery from dying, respectively. Each of those systems includes several different parts to keep it working well and all of those parts should be checked from time to time to ensure they aren’t failing. You’re likely to notice symptoms with your car’s performance if there’s a real problem but sometimes they can sneak up on you and cause some serious safety hazards.

AC System

Hot air or no air leaving your car’s vents when you flip the switch can be caused by a number of factors, some of which will require the help of a professional to fix. You can remedy some of the simpler issues at home by recharging the system with refrigerant or replacing damaged hoses, but you need to know the limits of your skills to avoid causing more damage in the process. This will ensure that your vehicle’s air conditioning system works properly, cools you down, and runs smoothly for years to come.

Steering System

Almost every single car has a steering assist mechanism; some are hydraulic with a reservoir for power steering fluid, while others use an electric assist. The electric power steering assist is more common in these days, which is good because you don't need that fluid, and there is less maintenance needed. WHAT ARE COMMON ISSUES WITH A STEERING SYSTEM? The most common issue you will see with a steering system is a linkage issue. The tie rod or rod end is the main linkage piece that helps you maneuver the vehicle. But when those tie rods wear down, it is harder to maintain proper alignment, and eventually lose control of the steering. If you are experiencing difficulty handling the steering in your car, it is important to get it checked out by a professional as soon as possible. It is dangerous for yourself and others on the road if you lose control of your vehicle due to a steering issue.
