Rolling road testing
General
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel rolling road for
brake testing if possible.
The front and rear wheels cannot be driven
independently due to the viscous coupling. This
eliminates the need for differential lock by
progressively applying more torque to the rear
wheels if the front wheels start to slip.
DO NOT attempt to drive individual wheels with
vehicle supported on floor jacks or stands.
Four wheel rolling road
Provided that front and rear rollers are rotating at
identical speeds and that normal workshop safety
standards are applied, there is no speed restriction
during testing, except any that may apply to the tyres.
Before testing a vehicle with anti-lock brakes on a
four wheel rolling road, disconnect the ABS
modulator. The ABS function will not work, the ABS
warning light will illuminate. Normal braking will be
available.
Two wheel rolling road
ABS will not function on a two wheel rolling road. The
ABS light will illuminate during testing. Normal
braking will be available.
If brake testing on a two wheel rolling road is
necessary, the following precautions should be
taken:
l
propeller shaft to the rear axle is removed/
disconnected;
l
neutral selected in gearbox;
l
hill descent control not selected.
When checking brakes, run engine at idle speed to
maintain servo vacuum.
