A5 ASE Brakes Exam Questions with Correct Answers |New Update 100% Verified By Experts
Hydraulic system Components (such as the brake lines and master cylinder) that transfers
power from the brake pedals to either disc or drum brakes.
Mechanical Foundation System Components (such as discs and pads or drums and shoes)
that creates the friction required to stop the vehicle.
Electronic system Components that notify the driver of a failure in the brake system. In anti-
lock brake (ABS) systems, electrical system components work to prevent tire skidding.
A spongy brake pedal may be caused by:
a. ABS Diagnostic Trouble Code set
b. Frozen caliper piston
c. Defective metering valve.
d. Air in hydraulic system D.
This question has the word EXCEPT. For this question, look for the choice that could NOT cause
the described situation. Read the entire question carefully before choosing your answer. A
vehicle has a very erratic brake pulling concern while applying the brakes. All of the following
items could cause this erratic pull EXCEPT:
a. Excessive tire pressure
b. Four-wheel alignment
c. Seized caliper piston on the other side
d. Steering gear problem A.
,The brakes are being bled on an older vehicle equipped with a quick take up valve in the master
cylinder. Technician A says the quick take up valve must be depressed. Technician B says the
brakes on this vehicle cannot be bled. Who is right?
a. A only
b. B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B D.
A power assist brake booster push rod that is to short will cause which of the following?
a. Excessive brake drag
b. Brake system to be inoperative
c. Excessive brake pedal travel
d. Brake light is illuminated C.
A vehicle with disc/drum brakes requires excessive brake pedal effort to stop. The brake pedal
is firm when applied. While starting the engine with the brakes applied, the pedal does not go
down slightly. Technician A says excessive brake pedal freeplay could be the cause. Technician B
says air trapped in the hydraulic system could be the cause. Who is right?
a. A only
b. B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B D.
Which of the following conditions can cause brake pedal fade?
a. Seized wheel cylinder piston
, b. Brake drum machined beyond its limit
c. Leakage past the master cylinder cups
d. Air in the hydraulic system B.
The rear brake linings are soaked with axle grease but still have a lot of lining left on them.
Which is the correct way to service these brakes?
a. Replace the brake linings
b. Wash in hot, soapy water and dry.
c. Clean with approved cleaner and reuse
d. Repair leak and replace brake linings D.
On a car with a drum/disc system, the front brakes lock up on light pedal application. This
problem could be caused by a bad:
a. Residual check valve
b. Proportioning valve
c. Pressure differential switch
d. Metering valve D.
This question has the word EXCEPT. For this question, look for the choice that could NOT cause
the described situation. Read the entire question carefully before choosing your answer. All of
these would cause a low brake pedal, EXCEPT:
a. Brake adjustment
b. Loose wheel bearing
c. Low brake fluid
d. Seized caliper piston D.
