a. overfilled master cylinder reservoir
b. low vacuum to the boost
c. bypassing master cylinder
d. quick take-up valve stuck open - Answer✔️✔️-A : overfilled master
cylinder reservoir
why : an overfilled master cylinder reservoir cylinder would not
allow for fluid expansion. this would cause the brakes to self apply
as the fluid expanded as result in brake drag

A diagnostic trouble code is set for an open wheel speed sensor on
the left front sensor. The technician measures the resistance at the
sensor and finds it to be within specification. Which of the following
is the most likely cause for the wheel speed sensor code?
a. faulty ABS computer
b. open fuse
c. open wiring from the computer to the wheel speed sensor
d. shorted left front ABS modulator valve - Answer✔️✔️-C : open
wiring from the computer to the wheel speed sensor
why : an open in the wiring from the sensor to the computer would

correct?
a. A only
b. B only
c. A & B
d. neither A or B - Answer✔️✔️-D : neither A or B
why : neither technician is correct. there is a ground present at all
times to cause the light to be on all the time
