BOSCH, a German-based multinational engineering, electronics components and industrial products today, January 27, continued the training of the staff and supervisors of Innoson Kiara Academy (IKA) on the use of Hydraulic tester to carryout brake fluid performance test and how car scanner works.

The training which commenced yesterday is currently ongoing at the Academy in Nnewi, Anambra state.

Technical Specialist, BOSCH products, Mr Vaibhav while teaching IKA trainers said, Brake Fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake/clutch applications in vehicles.

“It is used to transfer force to pressure and to amplify braking force. A low boiling point brake fluid provides little to no stopped power while driving.

‘Testing the boiling of a brake fluid requires special equipment such as BOSCH hydraulic tester that tests the boiling point of brake fluid to ascertain the performance state of the brake fluid.

‘The BOSCH hydraulic tester is equipped with two terminals (positive and negative) and a sensor point. The two-terminal are connected to the respective battery head of the vehicle and the sensor point dipped into a container containing the brake fluid.

“The battery voltage must not be less than 10.5 volts to operate the equipment. while the sensor point of the equipment is dipped into the container having brake fluid, the control switched on the equipment is pressed and held till the testing process is completed.

“Once completed, the result displays on the screen showing the department of transport (DOT) members of hydraulic fluids, their minimum boiling points and the boiling points of the fluid tested.”

“From the result shown, the operator can know if the performance state of fluid tested is ok or not.”

Mr Vaibhav while lecturing on Car Scanner and how it functions, described it as a vehicle/ car performance/ trip computer/diagnostics tool used in an OBD II Wi-Fi or Bluetooth adapter to connect to your OBD2 engine management / ECU.

‘Car Scanner gives you a bunch of unique features: … Car Scanner includes a huge database of DTC codes descriptions.’


‘A scan tool is a car diagnostic tool that can exhibit a wide range of features. Scan tools typically include a code reader, the ability to view and sort live data, and some type of knowledge base’.
