Correct!
Wrong!
When considering the proper operation of a tractor service brake relay valve:
Correct!
Wrong!
Technicians are discussing quick-release valves. Technician A says that a bad tractor protection valve will cause wheel lockup on the tractor during a brake application. Technician B says a defective quick-release valve can cause a slow front application pressure buildup and reduce stopping ability. Who is right?
Correct!
Wrong!
Technicians are diagnosing the tractor spring brake control valve. Technician A says if the rear axle reservoir is drained to zero air pressure and the brake application valve is applied, the tractor air brake pressure should be at 120 psi. Technician B says when the tractor parking brakes are applied, the air pressure at the tractor spring brake valve delivery port should drop quickly to zero. Who is right?
Correct!
Wrong!
Technician A says that the trailer air supply valve allows air to enter the trailer brake system when its knob is pushed inward. Technician B says that the knob of the park control (system park) valve must be pulled out before the trailer air supply valve can receive air at the control port. Who is right?
Correct!
Wrong!
Technician A says that pressure below 45 psi in the air brake system will cause the knob of the trailer air supply valve to pop out. Technician B says that the pressure below 45 psi in the trailer air brake system will cause the control valve inside the tractor protection valve to close. Who is right?
Correct!
Wrong!
