Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following procedures is correct when pressure bleeding a hydraulic brake system?

Correct! Wrong!

When discussing wedge brake diagnosis and service, Technician A says installing a new wedge with a different angle does not affect brake operation. Technician B says lubricant should be used on the wedge or wedge ramps. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

You are inspecting a four-wheel disc hydraulic brake system. Technician A says seized caliper pistons may cause brake drag. Technician B says that rotors machined beyond the minimum diameter may cause brake pedal fade when you first apply the brakes. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

If a technician fails to install a master cylinder reservoir cover diaphragm, which of the following will it cause?

Correct! Wrong!

While road testing a truck after a master cylinder overhaul, the truck brakes seem to drag and overheat. Technician A says that the master cylinder compensation ports may be blocked. Technician B says that excessive spring tension in the residual valve could be the cause. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

Which of the following conditions can cause brake pedal fade?

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says it is proper to machine worn brake drums, to the manufacturer''s recommendations. Technician B says that turning a drum beyond the manufacturer''s recommendations does not sacrifice its strength. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that it is good practice to change the hydraulic brake fluid whenever you perform a major brake repair. Technician B says you should immediately replace suspected contaminated hydraulic brake fluid. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that a hydraulic brake booster and power steering gear can be integrated with the power steering pump. Technician B says that a dedicated hydraulic power source, not connected to the steering gear, can be used to power a hydraulic brake booster. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

The first part to wear out and need replacing on a duo-servo hydraulic braking system is usually the:

Correct! Wrong!

The dash brake warning light in a brake system which uses a dual master cylinder, operates:

Correct! Wrong!

The need for brake adjustment is generally indicated by:

Correct! Wrong!

A customer complains that he must pump his brake pedal twice in the morning to attain proper pedal height, for the rest of the day when operating the vehicle every few hours he has no problem. What might be the cause of this malfunction occurring every morning?

Correct! Wrong!

A customer complains that his disc brake equipped vehicle seems to pull or drift to the right after he applies and releases the brakes and tries to drive on. Which of the following might cause the problem?

Correct! Wrong!

Where would a residual check be located, when the vehicle is equipped with a hydro-vac?

Correct! Wrong!

A truck with hydraulic disc/drum brakes makes severe hard brake application and experiences brake fade, but does not experience brake fade on repetitive light brake applications. Technician A says this could be caused by an improperly adjusted proportioning valve. Technician B says brake drums worn or machined beyond the maximum diameter could cause this condition. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that it is friction built up in or on the drum/rotor that causes a vehicle''s forward motion to stop. Technician b says it is the friction of the tires to the road that actually stop a vehicle''s motion. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

A truck with a hydraulic braking system is being overhauled. Technician A uses a vacuum gauge to test master cylinder output. Technician B says that all the wheel cylinder must be inspected, reconditioned, or replaced when an overhaul is being performed. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that double flaring can be used on steel brake lines. Technician B says that ISO flaring can be used on steel brake lines. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!

A wheel''s hydraulic brake slave cylinder:

Correct! Wrong!

What should be used for the final cleaning of hydraulic brake system parts?

Correct! Wrong!

Never use brake fluid out of a used or pre-opened container:

Correct! Wrong!

Correct! Wrong!

Hydraulic single piston disc brake systems are said to have:

Correct! Wrong!

Technician A says that on brakes with vented rotors, the inboard pad could be thicker than the outboard pad. Technician B says that on brakes with solid rotors, the inboard and outboard pads could be the same thickness. Who is right?

Correct! Wrong!
