The Anti-Lock Braking Systems Panel Trainer (755-01) from LJ Create supports hands-on learning of a typical four-wheel anti-lock braking system. Students can investigate both the hydraulic and electrical operation of ABS while simulating changes in road conditions to see how wheel slip and vehicle stability affect braking performance.
The trainer supports both static and dynamic ABS investigations, allowing students to explore pressure isolation, pressure dump, pressure increase, and normal-pressure operation. Built-in fault insertion, an onboard fault-code scanner, and accessible system components give students practical opportunities to diagnose sensors, hydraulic modulation, electronic controls, and other ABS system faults.
Features
- Four-wheel ABS simulation demonstrates complete anti-lock braking operation.
- Adjustable road conditions show how changing traction affects ABS performance.
- Hydraulic circuit and solenoids demonstrate ABS pressure control.
- Hall Effect and inductive wheel sensors allow students to compare sensor technologies.
- Electronic hydraulic modulator demonstrates electronically controlled braking.
- Onboard fault-code scanner supports practical ABS diagnostics.
- Fault insertion creates realistic troubleshooting scenarios.

Curriculum & Program Integration
This automotive trainer aligns with LJ Create’s AutoLab, which combines hands-on training systems with digital curriculum and instructional resources. Schools can use the trainer as a standalone learning system, integrate it into an existing automotive course, select individual LJ Create courses to supplement their curriculum, or implement the complete AutoLab program.
The curriculum for this learning system includes:
- Hands-on training experiments and activities
- Interactive online curriculum and instructional resources
- Teacher support materials and guided learning content
This flexible approach allows instructors to incorporate individual learning systems and curriculum where they fit best or build a more comprehensive automotive technology program.
LJ Create’s Cloud-Based Software
The trainer can also be used with LJ Create’s optional cloud-based software, which extends hands-on learning with interactive theory presentations, practical tasks, investigations, and assessments. Digital content connects directly to activities performed on the training equipment, helping instructors blend online instruction with practical automotive skill development.
