True
False
Technician A says that in a CAN-bus circuit, the parking brake sensor and the low brake fluid sensors send data over the CAN-bus network regarding their status.

One safe way to test whether a braking problem is at the front or rear brakes is to drive at a low speed and:
lightly apply the service brakes.
lightly apply the parking brake.
repeatedly tap the service brakes.
pull hard on the parking brake lever.
To perform a thorough inspection of brake pads, you should do all of the following EXCEPT:
inspect the pads to see if they are wearing evenly.
inspect all pads, retaining hardware, and anti-noise shims.
measure the remaining brake pad thickness and compare to specifications.
measure the pad-to-caliper piston clearance.
