Applications On Bodywork, As Well As Pu Sealants And Glass Adhesives.
12. Pressure Gauge
Pressure Gauges Are Used To Monitor And Control Pressure – Which Is Often A Necessity
In Industrial Processing. Without Pressure Gauges, Industrial Processing Systems Would Be
Both Unpredictable And Unreliable.
13. Hydrometer
The State Of Charge Of A Lead-Acid Battery Can Be Estimated From The Density Of The
Sulfuric Acid Solution Used As Electrolyte. A Hydrometer Calibrated To Read Specific
Gravity Relative To Water At 60 Degrees Fahrenheit Is A Standard Tool For Servicing
Automobile Batteries.
14. Spanner Set, Wrench Set & Other Tool
Every Month, Or Every Few Petrol Fill-Ups And Especially Before Any Long Road Trips,
It’s A Good Idea To Get Under The Hood Of Your Car And Inspect Both The Oil And

Problems If Left Unchecked. Refer To Your Owner’s Manual To Locate Both On Your
Specific Vehicle.
Air Filter
Engine’s Air Filter Is What Regulates The Air That Flows Into Your Engine And Helps
Keep Out Debris And Particulate. By Making Certain That Your Air Filter Is Flowing

Your Vehicle. If Your Spark Plugs Aren’t Functioning Properly, Your Engine Will Lose
Power And Won’t Run At Optimal Capacity. Have A Professional Check And Replace Any
Faulty Spark Plugs Depending On Vehicle Manufacturer’s Recommendations Or When You
Feel A Decrease In Your Engine’s Power.

Cabin Air Filters Are Designed To Keep Your Car’s Air Free Of Pollen, Dust And Other
Pollutants. Over Time, Filters Can Get Clogged And Become Less
Effective. Autozone Recommends That Most Cars’ Air Filters Should Be Checked Every
15,000 To 30,000 Miles. You Can Change It Sooner If You Notice The Cabin Air Filter Is
Visually Dirty, If You Hear A Whistling From Your Air Ducts Or If There’s A Musty Odor
When You Turn On Heating Or Cooling. Referencing Your Car’s Specific Owner's Manual
Should Provide You With A More Precise Service Schedule.
Keeping Your Car's Belts And Hoses In Good Shape Can Help Keep It Running And
Prevent A Breakdown On The Road. For Instance, Your Serpentine Belt Helps Power
Several Vital Parts Of Your Car Like The Alternator, Power Steering Pump, Air

If Brake Fluid Level Is Below The ‘Low’ Marker, You Should Add Fluid To Top It Up. If
You Check The Level Soon After And It Is Still Low, You May Have A Leak In The Brake
System. If The Level Is Higher Than The Maximum Marker, The Fluid May Be Absorbing
Water From A Weak Point In The Braking System. If You Continue To Drive With Water
In Your Brake System, The Water May Boil Off And Your Brake Function Will Suffer. If
Your Level Is Above The Maximum, Visit A Workshop To Have Your Brake Fluid
Replaced.
Wheel Balancing
When We Talk About Wheel Balancing, We Are Actually Talking About The Tyre
And Rim Unit. A Wheel Can Be Out Of Balance When One Area Of The Tyre Or Rim Is
Heavier Or Lighter Than The Others. It Is This Unevenly Distributed Mass That Creates An
Imbalance Wheel Balancing Is An Intervention That Aims To Compensate The Wheel With
A Mass To Restore Its Equilibrium And Make The Rotation Optimal.
Wheel Alignment
Unlike Balancing, Which Is Normally About The Tyre And Wheel Assembly, Alignment Is
In Fact About The Vehicle Suspension. Aligning Your Vehicle Suspension Means Adjusting
The Wheel Angles To The Manufacturer's Specifications. This Includes Adjusting The
Vehicle's Alignment And Camber, As Discussed In More Detail Below.
This Is A Complex Operation That Must Be Done By A Specialist.
Handbrake Check
Engage The Handbrake. Count The Number Of Clicks Until It Is Engaged. If It Is Above
The Recommended Amount, Continue Onto The Next Step.Remove The Handbrake
Trim Using The Plastic Pry Tool And Screwdriver To Expose The Brake’s Inner Workings..
Adjust The Brake By Using Your Socket Wrench To Tighten The Adjustment Bolt.Check
The Handbrake And Continue To Adjust Until Appropriately Tightened.Reinstall The
Handbrake Trim.Test The Handbrake By Engaging The Brake On A Hill Or By Trying To
Push Your Vehicle.

Conclusion
It was the great experience to work with the highly trained technicians at galaxy Toyota
service center. For me this training is quite fruitful. I got exposure of how to implement my
theoretical knowledge in practical use. Get idea about different mechanism and electronics
control used in modern hi tech Toyota cars.
