ASE Brakes T4 Practice Test #1
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS |\ |\
Which of the following could cause the brakes on a truck
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to wear too fast?
|\ |\ |\
A. Glazed Drums
|\ |\
B. Wrong linings installed
|\ |\ |\
C. Low air pressure in the service tanks
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D. Governor cut-out pressure too high - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Answer A is incorrect. Glazed drum linings|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
are hard and do not wear. They also do not stop the truck.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer B is correct. The wrong lining for the application
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
may be the problem.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Answer C is incorrect. Low air pressure in the tanks would
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
not cause brake wear. It may cause a low amount of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reserve air in case of multiple brake applications.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer D is incorrect. High governor cut=out pressure
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
may cause the safety valve to open, but would not cause
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the brakes to wear too fast.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Which of the following could case one brake on a truck to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
wear faster than the others?
|\ |\ |\ |\
A. Mismatched service brake chambers
|\ |\ |\ |\
B. Mismatched parking brake chambers
|\ |\ |\ |\
,C. Low air pressure in the service tanks
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
D. Governor cut-out pressure too low - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔Answer A is correct. Mismatched brake |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
service chambers would apply unequal brake application
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
pressure from side to side, which would cause one brake
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
to wear faster.
|\ |\
Answer B is incorrect. Mismatched parking brake
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
chambers would not cause brake wear. It would possibly |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
allow the brake to roll when parked, because one side
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
could have insufficient parking brake application.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer C is incorrect. Low air pressure in the tanks would
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
not cause brake wear. It may cause a low amount of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reserve air in case of multiple brake applications
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer D is incorrect. Low governor cut-out pressure may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cause an inadequate amount of air in reserve but would
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
not cause the brake to wear too fast.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
There is an audible air leak from under the dash when the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
foot valve is applied. Technician A says the double-check
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valve may be faulty. Technician B says the single-check
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valve may be |\ |\
faulty. Who is correct? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔A. A only
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
B. B only
|\ |\
C. Both A and B
|\ |\ |\ |\
D. Neither A nor B
|\ |\ |\ |\
,Answer A is correct. A leaking double check valve could
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
allow air to flow to the foot valve and out the open
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
exhaust
Answer B is incorrect. Single check valves are used to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
protect the tanks. They do not cause an air leak when the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
brakes are applied.
|\ |\ |\
Answer C is incorrect. Technician B is incorrect.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer D is incorrect. Technician A is correct.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
On a straight truck equipped with air brakes, the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
secondary tank pressure gauge falls to zero when she wet |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
air tank is drained. Technician A says the one-way check
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valve may be faulty. |\ |\ |\
Technician B says the foor valve may be faulty. Who is |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
correct?
A. A only
|\ |\
B. B only
|\ |\
C. Both A and B
|\ |\ |\ |\
D. Neither A nor B - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Answer A is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
correct. The one way check valve should protect the
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
secondary tank. The check valve is leaking. |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer B is incorrect. The foot valve does not separate
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the wet and secondary tanks.
|\ |\ |\ |\
Answer C is incorrect. Technician B is incorrect.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Answer D is incorrect. Technician A is correct.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
, Which of the following could set an antilock braking
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
system (ABS) wheel speed sensor code:|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
A. Faulty modulator hold solenoid
|\ |\ |\ |\
B. Faulty modulator release solenoid
|\ |\ |\ |\
C. Incorrect wheel bearing adjustment
|\ |\ |\ |\
D. Incorrect brake adjustment - CORRECT ANSWERS
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
✔✔Answer A is incorrect. A faulty solenoid would not |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cause a wheel speed sensor code. It could cause a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
modulator valve code. |\ |\
Answer B is incorrect. A faulty solenoid would not cause a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
wheel speed sensor code. It could cause a modulator
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
valve code |\
Answer C is correct. A loose wheel bearing adjustment
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
can cause a faulty wheel speed sensor and a wheel speed
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
sensor code.
|\ |\
Answer D is incorrect. An incorrect brake adjustment may
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
cause a dragging brake but would not cause a wheel
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
speed sensor code |\ |\
The air drier purged too often. Technician A says the air
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
drier delivery check valve may be leaking. Technician B
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
says a leaking wet tank could be the cause. Who is
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
correct?
A. A only
