DSL 204 Brakes week 8

Technician A says that a more significant advantage for hydraulic brakes over air brakes is the use of highly pressurized brake fluid to apply disc foundation brakes. Technician B says that a more significant advantage for hydraulic brakes over air brakes is the use of low pressurized brake fluid to apply disc foundation brakes. Who is correct?

• Technician A

• Technician B

• Both Technician A and Technician B

• Neither Technician A nor Technician B

__________ data input from other control system modules to the full power hydraulic brake system control unit can add new features and enhance braking effectiveness.

When discussing brake-by-wire technologies, Technician A says that the fixed piston-type caliper uses either an electric actuator or hydraulic fluid to apply and release the parking brake cable. Technician B says that the fixed piston-type caliper uses high-speed actuators to apply and release the parking brake cable. Who is correct?

• Technician A

• Technician B

• Both Technician A and Technician B

• Neither Technician A nor Technician B

Which of these hold true about master cylinder operation?

• Brake fluid creates a solid hydraulic link that causes backward movement of the secondary piston.

• The master cylinder pistons have seals at each end called cups.

• Brake fluid for the brake application is supplied to the cavities surrounding the master cylinder pistons by the front calipers.

• A second set of ports called the equalization ports allow brake fluid in front of the pistons.

When discussing conventional hydraulic braking systems; Technician A says that pushing the primary piston forward pressurizes brake fluid between both cups of the primary piston. Technician B says that pushing the secondary piston forward pressurizes brake fluid between both cups of the primary piston. Who is correct?

• Technician A

• Technician B

• Both Technician A and Technician B

• Neither Technician A nor Technician B

Which of these best describes hydrophilic?

• The fluid does not absorb moisture.

• The ability of the fluid to absorb water

• The ability of the fluid to absorb moisture

• The ability of the fluid to absorb air

Brake (a)   are used to pull the brake shoes back to resting position away from the brake drums when the brakes are released.

• Springs

• Hoses

• Calipers

• Pads
