_______ gives greater control of the braking system to the computer, which can react more quickly and more deliberately than a driver, especially in a panic situation.

• Disc brake

• Band brake

• Scrub brake

• Brake assist

Identify the brake system that uses a metal band lined with friction material.

• Scrub brake

• Band brake

• Hydraulic brake

• Drum brake

Scrub brakes use leverage to force a ________ against one or more wheels.

• metal band

• friction block

• asbestos brake pad

• brake shoe

Tech A states that in the Traction Control System, the control unit can independently apply individual brake units even though the driver is not stepping down on the brake pedal. Tech B states that this function can also be carried out by the driver in manual mode. Who is correct?

• Tech A

• Tech B

• Both A and B

• Neither A nor B

A full brake-by-wire system does away with the hydraulic portion of the brake system and replaces it with all of the following EXCEPT:

• sensors

• wires

• an electronic control unit

• mechanically actuated motors

A regenerative braking system uses ________ to slow the vehicle during braking.

• an electric motor as a generator

• a parking brake

• weight transfer

• line pressure

Static friction is resistance between nonmoving surfaces and is present in which type of brakes?

• Both parking and standard

• All types

• Standard

• Parking

The rotational force found in a moving vehicle tends to:

• Brake fade

• Rotational force

• Mechanical Advantage

• Weight transfer

The master cylinder converts the brake pedal force into hydraulic pressure, which is then transmitted_______ via the brake lines and hoses to one or two wheel cylinders at each drum brake assembly.

• With some loss

• Without loss

• With increased force

• None of the above
