ASE A5 Disc Brake Diagnosis and Repair Practice Exam

What component is primarily responsible for transferring hydraulic pressure to the brake caliper in a disc brake system?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake caliper?

What is the term for the condition where the brake pads wear unevenly, causing the brake rotor to have an uneven surface and creating a pulsation during braking?

What is the primary function of the brake caliper piston in a disc brake system?

What term describes the condition where the brake pads have completely worn down and metal-to-metal contact occurs between the brake rotor and the brake caliper?

What is the purpose of the brake pad wear indicator in a disc brake system?

In a disc brake system, what component is responsible for holding the brake pads in place and allowing them to slide during braking?

What term describes the condition where the brake pads do not release from the brake rotor, causing continuous friction and overheating?

In a disc brake system, what component is responsible for dissipating heat generated during braking to prevent brake fade?

What is the term for the condition where the brake pads generate insufficient friction with the brake rotor, resulting in reduced braking efficiency?

In a disc brake system, what component is responsible for converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to squeeze the brake pads against the brake rotor?

What term describes the condition where the brake pedal feels spongy and the brakes do not provide effective stopping power due to air in the brake hydraulic system?

What component in a disc brake system is responsible for holding the brake pads in place and allowing them to slide during braking?

In a disc brake system, what is the primary purpose of the brake rotor?

What is the term for the condition where the brake pads generate noise and vibration during braking, often caused by uneven rotor surfaces?

What component in a disc brake system is responsible for converting mechanical force from the brake caliper into hydraulic pressure?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake pad shims or hardware?

What term describes the condition where the brake pads wear unevenly and create a wavy or scalloped appearance on the brake rotor?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake hose?

What component in a disc brake system is responsible for holding the brake pads in place within the brake caliper and allowing them to move freely during braking?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake pad wear indicator?

What is the term for the condition where the brake pedal feels firm and the brakes provide consistent stopping power due to the absence of air in the brake hydraulic system?

In a disc brake system, what component is responsible for transmitting rotational force from the wheel to the brake rotor?

What is the term for the condition where the brake pads wear unevenly, causing a rough or grooved appearance on the brake rotor?

What component in a disc brake system is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure to actuate the brake caliper?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake caliper guide pins or bushings?

What term describes the condition where the brake pads wear unevenly, causing a tapered or angled appearance on the brake rotor?

In a disc brake system, what is the purpose of the brake caliper piston seal?

What term describes the condition where the brake pads generate uneven friction on the brake rotor, resulting in a wobbling sensation during braking?

In a disc brake system, what component is responsible for storing and supplying brake fluid to the master cylinder when needed?
