1. On a car with disc/drum brakes, the front brakes grab
quickly when light pedal pressure is applied. This problem
could be caused by a bad:
A. proportioning valve
B. pressure safety switch
C. metering valve
D. residual check valve correct answers C
2. The driver of a vehicle with power disc/drum brakes
says that the brake pedal moves slowly to the floor while
maintaining pedal pressure at a stoplight. What could
cause this problem?
A. leaking primary piston cup in master cylinder
B. leaking power brake booster
C. leaking residual check valve in master cylinder
D. internal leak in the combination valve correct answers A
3. Which of the following would MOST LIKELY happen

B. brake grab or pull
C. pulsating brake pedal
D. low brake pedal correct answers C
4. What is the purpose of the master cylinder residual
check valve(s) on vehicles equipped with drum brakes?
A. allows the driver to pump up the brakes
,B. prevents air from entering the hydraulic system
C. prevents wheel lockup by reducing the hydraulic
pressure
D. reduces pedal pulsation by controlling hydraulic
pressure correct answers B
5. A technician has just overhauled the front brakes on a
vehicle with front disc and rear drum brakes. However, when
he attaches a pressure bleeder (pressurized to about 25
psi) to the master cylinder, he cannot get any fluid to come
out of the disc brake caliper bleeder screws. Which of the
following is MOST LIKELY the cause?
A. bad proportioning valve
B. bad pressure differential valve
C. proportioning valve release button not activated
D. metering valve release button not activated correct answers D
6. 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.

the cause. Technician B says that a binding caliper piston
could be the cause. Who is right?
A. Technician A only
B. Technician B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B correct answers B
7. What is the purpose of the bar that is being removed
from the brake assembly shown below?

brakes are applied
D. to reduce the distance between the shoes and the
drum correct answers C

steel tubing using flare nuts and unions.
D. Replace the leaking line with double-flared steel
tubing. correct answers D
9. The set-up shown above is used to check: (dial indicator on rotor face)

using a residual check valve in a disc brake master cylinder?
A. reduced brake pedal travel
B. reduced brake system pressure
C. increased brake pad wear
