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: Proportioning valve, Pressure safety valve, Metering valve, Residual check valve

Back

Metering valve

The driver of a vehicle with power disc/drum brakes says the brake pedal moves slowly to the floor while maintaining pedal pressure at a stoplight. What could cause this problem?

Back

Leaking primary piston cup in master cylinder

Which of the following would MOST LIKELY happen if the measurements taken from the check shown above varied from the manufacturer's specifications? Noisy brake operation, Brake grab or pull, Pulsating brake pedal, Low brake pedal

Back

Pulsating brake pedal

What is the purpose of the master cylinder residual check valve(s) on vehicles equipped with drum brakes?

Back

Prevents air from entering the hydraulic system

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? Bad proportioning valve, Bad pressure differential valve, Proportioning valve release button not activated, Metering valve release button not activated?

Back

Metering valve release button not activated

On a vehicle with single piston floating caliper front disc brakes, the brake pads on the left side 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?

Back

Technician B only

Which of the following problems would be caused by using a residual check valve in a disc brake master cylinder? Reduced brake pedal travel, Reduced brake system pressure, Increased brake pad wear, Increased rotor runout

Back

Increased brake pad wear
