ASE A-5 Brakes Certification Practice Test

21.   Two technicians are discussing master cylinder residual check valves. Technician A says the check valve is used on four wheel disc brake systems. Technician B says the valve maintains pressure when the brakes are released. Who is correct?

A. Technician A

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

A. Technician A

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

D. Neither Technician A or B

22.   Technician A says accumulators are found only on non-integral ABS systems. Technician B says the ABS system works independently of the basic braking system and needs its own source of hydraulic pressure. Who is correct?

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

D. Neither Technician A or B

27.   Technician A says master cylinder fluid level sensors activate a yellow brake indicator lamp when the fluid drops below a specified level. Technician B says brake pad wear sensors light a dash lamp when the bare wire contacts the brake rotor. Who is correct?

A. Technician A

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

D. Neither Technician A or B

23.   Technician A says permanent magnet wheel speed sensors produce AC voltage. Technician B says the sensor is placed close to a toothed ring located on the axle or hub. Who is correct?

A. Technician A

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

D. Neither Technician A or B

28.   Which of these is not part of an integrated ABS unit.

A. They have a quick take-up valve located between the reservoir and the secondary piston.

B. They have a smaller diameter primary piston.

C. They utilize low volumes of fluid.

D. It is a step bore master cylinder with a fast fill valve.

29.   A three-function combination valve has all of these except:

A. Technician A

B. Technician B

C. Both Technician A and B

D. Neither Technician A or B

30.   A hydro-boost brake system has reduced braking performance. Technician A says to check the power steering system. Technician B says to check the vacuum check valve. Who is correct?
