BRAKES - part 2

This type of brakes uses a caliper to squeeze brake pads into a rotor

• Disc brakes

• Drum brakes

This type of brakes uses a wheel cylinder to push brake shoes outward

• Drum brakes

• Disc brakes

Which has a larger piston, giving a larger surface area, meaning more force applied?

• Drum brake wheel cylinder

• Disc brake caliper

What system provides additional assistance to the driver when applying the brake pedal?

• Power brake/brake boost

• Anti-lock brakes

• Cruise control

• Piston return spring

This light turns on when a fault is present in the anti lock brake system, including wheel speed sensors, wiring, etc

• Red brake warning light

• Check engine light

• Yellow "ABS" light

• Airbag/SRS light

This light turns on when brake fluid is low or when the parking brake is applied

• Red brake warning light

• Check engine light

• Yellow "ABS" light

• Airbag/SRS light

Which brakes wear faster and why?

• Rear brakes, because the rear carries more braking load

• Front brakes, because the front brakes do most of the braking work

• They wear evenly, because of the proportioning valve

When brakes overheat, a lack of friction is caused by the change in the materials under high temperature. This phenomenon is called:

• Smokey brakes

• Brake slip

• Water brakes

• Brake fade

A brake pedal feels spongy. This is most likely cause by:

• ABS fault causing a DTC to set

• Frozen caliper piston

• Defective metering valve

• Air in hydraulic system

a brake booster pushrod that is too short will cause:

• Excessive brake drag

• Brake system to be inoperative

• Excessive brake pedal travel

• Brake light illuminated
