A5 exam questions with correct answers
A5 |Question |1
The |brake |pedal |is |low |and |spongy; |all |brake |adjustments |have |been |completed |according |to |
specifications. |The |cause |of |the |problem |could |be:
A) |Binding |pedal |linkage. |
B)Dented |brake |line. |
C)Plugged |compensating |port. |
D)A |weak |hydraulic |hose. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Answer |D |is |correct! |Binding |pedal |linkage |would |
cause |a |hard |pedal |and |perhaps |an |effective |brake |system. |This |is |also |true |for |a |dented |brake |line. |A
|plugged |compensator |port |may |cause |dragging |brakes. |A |weak |hydraulic |brake |hose |could |cause |a |
spongy |pedal. |As |the |pressure |builds |in |the |system, |the |hose |may |expand |and |not |relay |the |pressure |
to |the |brake |units.
Quiz:A5 |Question |2
A |vehicle |has |no |brake |pedal |free |play. |This |problem |may |cause:
A) |a |low |brake |pedal. |
B)pressure |build-up |and |dragging |brakes. |
C)a |spongy |brake |pedal. |
, D)fluid |leaking |past |the |primary |piston |cups. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Answer |B |is |correct! |Without |
some |free |play, |the |brakes |may |not |fully |unapply |and |may |cause |brake |dragging.
Quiz:A5 |Question |3
There |are |signs |of |paint |removal |and |peeling |on |the |power |brake |booster |right |below |the |master |
cylinder. |The |cause |of |this |could |be:
A) |A |leaking |secondary |cup |on |the |primary |piston. |
B)A |defective |diaphragm |in |the |brake |booster. |
C)A |leaking |secondary |cup |on |the |second |piston. |
D)Fuel |being |drawn |into |the |booster |by |the |vacuum. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Answer |A |is |correct! |A |
leaking |secondary |cup |on |the |primary |piston |could |cause |an |external |leak |at |the |master |cylinder. |
Because |brake |fluid |tends |to |destroy |paint, |the |peeling |paint |could |be |a |good |indication |of |a |brake |
fluid |leak.
Quiz:A5 |Question |4
When |removing |the |master |cylinder, |all |of |the |following |steps |must |be |performed |EXCEPT:
A) |Relieve |any |vacuum |boost |pressure |(if |equipped |with |power |brakes). |
B)Plug |the |ends |of |the |brake |lines |to |prevent |fluid |loss. |
C)Disconnect |the |float |level |sensor. |
D)Drain |the |master |cylinder. |- |VERIFIED |ANSWER✔✔-Answer |D |is |correct! |All |of |the |answer |choices |
need |to |be |completed |prior |to |removing |the |master |cylinder. |Draining |the |master |cylinder |of |fluid |is |
not |something |that |must |be |done. |If |it |is |done |thef |luid |is |removed |only |after |the |lines |have |been |
disconnected |and |capped. |Fluid |should |not |run |out |of |the |master |cylinder |while |it's |being |removed |so
|it |is |easier |to |empty |the |cylinder |on |a |bench.
