ASE Brakes T4 Practice Test #1 Practice Questions and Answers

ASE Brakes T4 Practice Test #1 Practice Questions and Answers Which of the following could cause the brakes on a truck to wear too fast? A. Glazed Drums B. Wrong linings installed C. Low air pressure in the service tanks D. Governor cut-out pressure too high - Ans:-Answer A is incorrect. Glazed drum linings are hard and do not wear. They also do not stop the truck. Answer B is correct. The wrong lining for the application may be the problem. Answer C is incorrect. Low air pressure in the tanks would not cause brake wear. It may cause a low amount of reserve air in case of multiple brake applications. Answer D is incorrect. High governor cut=out pressure may cause the safety valve to open, but would not cause the brakes to wear too fast. Which of the following could case one brake on a truck to wear faster than the others? ©GRACEAMELIA 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISH OCTOBER 2024 Page 2/34 A. Mismatched service brake chambers B. Mismatched parking brake chambers C. Low air pressure in the service tanks D. Governor cut-out pressure too low - Ans:-Answer A is correct. Mismatched brake service chambers would apply unequal brake application pressure from side to side, which would cause one brake to wear faster. Answer B is incorrect. Mismatched parking brake chambers would not cause brake wear. It would possibly allow the brake to roll when parked, because one side could have insufficient parking brake application. Answer C is incorrect. Low air pressure in the tanks would not cause brake wear. It may cause a low amount of reserve air in case of multiple brake applications Answer D is incorrect. Low governor cut-out pressure may cause an inadequate amount of air in reserve but would not cause the brake to wear too fast. There is an audible air leak from under the dash when the foot valve is applied. Technician A says the double-check valve may be faulty. Technician B says the single-check valve may be faulty. Who is correct? - Ans:-A. A only B. B only ©GRACEAMELIA 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISH OCTOBER 2024 Page 3/34 C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B Answer A is correct. A leaking double check valve could allow air to flow to the foot valve and out the open exhaust Answer B is incorrect. Single check valves are used to protect the tanks. They do not cause an air leak when the brakes are applied. Answer C is incorrect. Technician B is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect. Technician A is correct. On a straight truck equipped with air brakes, the secondary tank pressure gauge falls to zero when she wet air tank is drained. Technician A says the one-way check valve may be faulty. Technician B says the foor valve may be faulty. Who is correct? A. A only B. B only C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B - Ans:-Answer A is correct. The one way check valve should protect the secondary tank. The check valve is leaking. ©GRACEAMELIA 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISH OCTOBER 2024 Page 4/34 Answer B is incorrect. The foot valve does not separate the wet and secondary tanks. Answer C is incorrect. Technician B is incorrect. Answer D is incorrect. Technician A is correct. Which of the following could set an antilock braking system (ABS) wheel speed sensor code: A. Faulty modulator hold solenoid B. Faulty modulator release solenoid C. Incorrect wheel bearing adjustment D. Incorrect brake adjustment - Ans:-Answer A is incorrect. A faulty solenoid would not cause a wheel speed sensor code. It could cause a modulator valve code. Answer B is incorrect. A faulty solenoid would not cause a wheel speed sensor code. It could cause a modulator valve code Answer C is correct. A loose wheel bearing adjustment can cause a faulty wheel speed sensor and a wheel speed sensor code. Answer D is incorrect. An incorrect brake adjustment may cause a dragging brake but would not cause a wheel speed sensor code ©GRACEAMELIA 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR.

Technician B says a leaking wet tank could be the cause. Who is correct? A. A only B. B only C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B - Ans:-Answer A is incorrect. Technician B is also correct. Answer B is incorrect. Technician A is also correct. Answer C is correct. A leaking air drier check valve will allow the wet tank to drain back through the air drier. This will cause air pressure to drop to governor cut-in rapidly. The air comprb
