#1. The brake pedal on a vehicle with power-assisted disc/drum brakes moves slowly to the floor during braking. Which of these could be the cause?
#2. On a vehicle with disc/drum brakes, the front brakes grab quickly when light pedal pressure is applied. This could be caused by a failed:
#3. On a vehicle with single piston, floating caliper disc brakes, the brake pad against the piston is badly worn. The other brake pad is only slightly worn. Technician A says that too much rotor runout could be the cause. Technician B says that a frozen caliper piston could be the cause. Who is right?
#4. When the brakes are applied, a vibration comes from the front of a vehicle with a disc/drum system. Which of these could be the cause?
the correct answer is excessive rotor runout
#5. A front disc brake rotor is slightly below minimum thickness specification after machining. The technician should:
the correct answer is replace the rotor
#6. A hydraulic brake line is leaking. Which of these is the correct repair?
the correct answer is replace the leaking line with double-flared steel tubing.
#7. The drag on a vehicle’s drum brakes increases after each application until they lock up. Bleeding the system restores normal operation for a short time; then drag increases until the brakes lock up again. Which of these could be the cause?
the correct answer is failed master cylinder
#8. With the brakes applied, the pedal moves down slightly when the engine is started on a vehicle with power brakes. Technician A says that a leaking power brake booster diaphragm could be the cause. Technician B says that a stuck-closed brake booster vacuum check valve could be the cause. Who is right?
