ASE Brakes Test/36 Exam
questions & Answers
On a vehicle with single piston floating caliper front disc brakes, the brake
pads on the left side of the vehicle are almost completely worn while the
right side is almost new. Technician A says that too much rotor runout could
be the cause. Technician B says that a binding caliper piston could be the
cause. Who is right? - -Technician B only
-A customer complains that their vehicle pulls to the right when the brakes
are applied. Technician A says a restricted brake line to the left caliper can
cause this problem. Technician B says a malfunctioning proportioning valve
is probably the cause. Who is right? - -Technician A only
-With foot pressure applied, the brake pedal on a vehicle with vacuum
assisted power brakes moves down slightly when the engine is started. Tech
A says that this condition can be caused by a leaking power brake booster
diaphragm. Tech B says that the cause could be a faulty power brake booster
check valve. Who is right? - -Neither A or B
-Technician A says that the tool shown above is used to adjust the brake
shoes. Technician B says that the tool shown above is used to determine the
inside diameter of the drum. Who is right? - -Technician A only
-The hydraulic system on a vehicle with integral ABS is to be bled.
Technician A says that the front brakes can be bled in a conventional
manner. Technician B says that both front and rear brakes can only be bled
using the pressure from a fully charged accumulator. Who is right? - -
Technician A only
-Two technicians are discussing the duo-servo type drum brake design.
Technician A says the brake lining on the secondary shoe is usually longer
and thicker than the brake lining on the primary shoe. Technician B says the
primary shoe is installed toward the rear of the vehicle. Who is right? - -
Technician A only
-Technician A says that DOT 5 brake fluid has a lower boiling point than DOT
4. Technician B says that DOT 4 brake fluid is silicone-based and should
never be used in an ABS system. Who is right? - -Neither A or B
-Technician A says that a caliper seal installed in the caliper bore is called a
stroking seal. Technician B says that when the brake pedal is released, the
piston in the caliper moves back in its bore due to the action of the piston
seal. Who is right? - -Technician B only
, -Technician A says that when rebuilding a caliper with a stroking seal, the
condition of the caliper bore surface is critical. Technician B says that when
rebuilding a caliper with a fixed seal, the condition of the piston surface is
the most important consideration. Who is right? - -Both A and B
-Technician A says that when a rotor is machined, an equal amount of
material must always be removed from both sides. Technician B says that
the minimum thickness dimension cast into the rotor is the dimension that
the rotor can be machined to. Who is right? - -Neither A or B
-Technician A says that DTCs can be accessed from any ABS system using
flash diagnostics. Technician B says that ABS system tests can be performed
with a bi-directional scan tool. Who is right? - -Technician B only
-A few minutes after the engine was turned off on a vehicle with vacuum
power assist, the brake pedal is applied and is hard to push. Technician A
says that this is a normal condition. Technician B says that the booster check
valve is leaking. Who is right? - -Technician B only
-During a brake inspection, an area of the vacuum brake booster below the
master cylinder is found to be damp. Tech A says that this is a normal
condition. Tech B says that any evidence of fluid indicates a leak and the
master cylinder must be replaced. Who is right? - -Technician A only
-Technician A says that tapered roller bearings can be adjusted using a
torque wrench. Technician B says that tapered roller bearings are adjusted
using a dial indicator. Who is right? - -Both A and B
-Technician A says that, when testing a proportioning valve, the pressure at
the outlet port to the rear brakes should rise at a faster rate, once transition
pressure is reached. Technician B says that vehicles with diagonally-split
hydraulic systems must have the proportioning valve tested twice. Who is
right? - -Technician B only
-Technician says that when rebuilding a caliper with a stroking seal, the
condition of the caliper bore surface is critical. Technician B says that when
rebuilding a caliper with a fixed seal, the condition of the piston surface is
the most important consideration. Who is right? - -Both A and B
-Technician A says that ABS wheel speed sensor gap should be adjusted
with a non-magnetic feeler gauge. Technician B says that a paper spacer can
be used to adjust ABS wheel speed sensor gap but the paper must be
removed before the vehicle is operated. Who is right? - -Technician A only
