ASE T4 Domain 3: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems Welcome to your ASE T4 Domain 3: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems 1. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems A truck equipped with an ABS system shows intermittent wheel lock-up during braking. This is most likely due to: A. A faulty ABS control module B. Worn brake pads C. A damaged wheel speed sensor D. Low brake fluid levels None 2. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems In an ABS system, what is the primary function of the modulator? A. To maintain brake fluid pressure B. To adjust brake pressure to each wheel C. To activate the brake lights D. To monitor wheel speed None 3. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems When diagnosing an ABS fault, the technician finds that the ABS light remains on after engine start. This indicates: A. Low brake fluid B. An ABS system self-test failure C. Worn brake pads D. A faulty brake light switch None 4. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems During an ABS diagnosis, a technician finds a fault code indicating a problem with the "isolation valve." This valve primarily functions to: A. Isolate the master cylinder during ABS operation B. Prevent fluid backflow to the reservoir C. Control pressure to individual brake circuits D. Regulate fluid pressure to the ABS pump None 5. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems In an ABS-equipped vehicle, a rapid pulsation in the brake pedal during heavy braking is a sign of: A. Normal ABS operation B. A failing ABS pump C. Air in the brake lines D. Defective brake pads None 6. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems A fault code in an ABS system indicating an "open circuit" most likely pertains to: A. A disconnected ABS sensor B. A blown fuse in the ABS system C. Low brake fluid level D. A defective ABS modulator None 7. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems When testing an ABS system, a technician notes that the ABS activates during normal braking conditions. This could be caused by: A. Incorrect tire size B. A faulty ABS control module C. Worn brake linings D. Overfilled brake fluid reservoir None 8. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems A heavy-duty truck with an ABS system displays uneven brake wear. The first component to inspect would be: A. The brake linings B. The ABS wheel speed sensors C. The modulator valves D. The master cylinder None 9. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems What symptom indicates a potential failure in the ABS hydraulic control unit? A. Squealing brakes B. ABS warning light remains off at all times C. Intermittent loss of brake power D. Continuous cycling of the ABS pump motor None 10. ASE T4: Air and Hydraulic Antilock Brake Systems In a vehicle with a properly functioning ABS, heavy braking on a slippery surface will result in: A. The vehicle pulling to one side B. A longer stopping distance than on dry pavement C. A shorter stopping distance than on dry pavement D. The brakes locking up None 1 out of 10 Time is Up! Time's up
