السؤال 2 من 30
How do you test the low pressure warning signal?
- Drain the tanks while driving and see when the light comes on
- Engine off, key on, pump the brake pedal; it must come on before 60 psi
- Run the engine at high rpm until the warning light comes on
- Pull out the trailer air supply knob and watch the gauge
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: B. Engine off, key on, pump the brake pedal; it must come on before 60 psi
Turn the engine off, turn the key to power, and step on and off the brake to lower pressure. The warning must come on before 60 psi.
السؤال 3 من 30
During the spring brake test, you keep pumping the brake pedal to lower air pressure. What should happen?
- The parking brake knob should pop out
- The safety valve should open and release air
- The governor should cut out the compressor
- Nothing should happen until 0 psi
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. The parking brake knob should pop out
As pressure falls to the maker's level, the tractor protection valve and parking brake valve should close and pop out.
السؤال 4 من 30
How do you check the governor's cut-in and cut-out pressures?
- At fast idle, pumping should stop near 125 psi and restart near 100 psi
- Open the safety valve by hand and listen for the compressor
- Drive at 55 mph and read the gauge while braking hard
- Shut the engine off and watch the gauge for one full hour
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. At fast idle, pumping should stop near 125 psi and restart near 100 psi
With the engine at fast idle, the compressor should cut out near 125 psi. Lower the pressure with the brake pedal; it should cut in near 100 psi.
السؤال 5 من 30
For the air leakage test, how should you set up the vehicle?
- Tanks drained to 60 psi, engine running
- Fully charged, engine off, parking brake released
- Parking brake applied and engine running
- Engine running at high rpm, brakes applied
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: B. Fully charged, engine off, parking brake released
With a fully charged system (typically 125 psi), turn off the engine, release the parking brake and time the pressure drop.

السؤال 10 من 30
Your vehicle loses air faster than the allowed leakage rate. What should you do?
- Drain the tanks and drive
- Have the leaks fixed before driving
- Drive slowly to the next stop
- Raise the governor setting
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: B. Have the leaks fixed before driving
Too much leakage means the system needs repair before the vehicle is driven.
السؤال 11 من 30
Air pressure builds up too slowly during your inspection. What should you do?
- Do not drive until it is fixed
- Drive and let it build on the road
- Turn off the low air warning
- Pump the brakes to build pressure faster
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. Do not drive until it is fixed
If pressure builds too slowly, the system could fail. Have it fixed before driving.

- That the belt is wet with oil
- That the belt is in good shape and tight
- That the belt is removed for summer
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. That the belt is in good shape and tight
If the compressor is belt-driven, make sure the belt is in good condition and properly tight.
السؤال 13 من 30
When making a normal stop with a manual transmission, when should you push in the clutch?
- When engine rpm is near idle
- Before you start to brake
- Never during a normal stop
- As soon as you start braking
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. When engine rpm is near idle
Wait until the engine is near idle before pushing in the clutch, then choose a starting gear once stopped.
السؤال 14 من 30
Using the stab braking method, how long can it take for locked wheels to start rolling again after you release the brakes?
- They start rolling instantly
- About ten seconds
- About five seconds
- Up to one second
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: D. Up to one second
It can take up to one second for the wheels to roll after you release. If you reapply too soon, the vehicle won't straighten out.
السؤال 15 من 30
Why does a vehicle with air brakes take longer to stop than one with hydraulic brakes?
- Air brakes are weaker than hydraulic brakes
- Air brakes only work on the rear wheels
- Air takes time to flow to the brakes (brake lag)
- The governor holds back air when you brake
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. Air takes time to flow to the brakes (brake lag)
Air brakes take about half a second or more to work after you press the pedal. This is called brake lag.
السؤال 16 من 30
At 55 mph on dry pavement, about how much distance does air brake lag add?
- About 100 feet
- About 3 feet
- About 300 feet
- About 32 feet
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: D. About 32 feet
At 55 mph, the air brake lag adds about 32 feet to stopping distance.
السؤال 17 من 30
About how far does it take a vehicle with air brakes to stop from 55 mph on dry pavement?
- About 250 feet
- About 1,000 feet
- Over 450 feet
- About 150 feet
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. Over 450 feet
Total stopping distance at 55 mph with air brakes is over 450 feet.
السؤال 18 من 30
Which four parts make up total stopping distance for a vehicle with air brakes?
- Perception, reaction, coasting and braking distance
- Perception, reaction, brake lag and effective braking distance
- Reaction, shifting, braking and skidding distance
- Following, perception, braking and parking distance
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: B. Perception, reaction, brake lag and effective braking distance
Air brakes add brake lag to the usual perception, reaction and braking distances.
السؤال 19 من 30
What causes brake fade?
- Too much air pressure in the brake lines
- Water mixing with the fuel in cold weather
- Cold air building up inside the tanks
- Too much heat from overusing the brakes
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: D. Too much heat from overusing the brakes
Excess heat reduces friction in the linings and makes the drums expand, so the brakes stop working well.
السؤال 20 من 30
Some brakes on your vehicle are out of adjustment. How does this lead to brake fade?
- The ABS stops working
- The out-of-adjustment brakes get too cold
- The other brakes do more work, overheat and fade
- The air pressure rises too high
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. The other brakes do more work, overheat and fade
Brakes out of adjustment do less work, so the others overheat. Check adjustment often, because hot brakes can go out of adjustment fast.
السؤال 21 من 30
You are going down a long grade in the proper low gear. When should you release the brakes?
- When your speed is about 5 mph below your safe speed
- Only at the bottom of the grade
- When you reach 10 mph over your safe speed
- When you are 20 mph below your safe speed
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. When your speed is about 5 mph below your safe speed
Brake just enough to feel a definite slowdown, and release when you are about 5 mph below your safe speed.
السؤال 22 من 30
On a downgrade, about how long should each brake application last?
- About 30 seconds
- Less than half a second
- About 1 minute
- About 3 seconds
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: D. About 3 seconds
Each application, from braking to release, should last about three seconds.
السؤال 23 من 30
Your spring brakes come on because of low air pressure. Why might a heavy load take longer to stop?
- Spring brakes are stronger than service brakes
- Spring brakes only work on the steering axle
- Spring brakes do not work on all axles
- The ABS turns off the spring brakes
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: C. Spring brakes do not work on all axles
With a heavy load, stopping on spring brakes takes longer because they are not on every axle.
السؤال 24 من 30
When should you NOT use the parking brakes?
- Whenever you park on a hill or a slope
- When brakes are very hot, or very wet in freezing weather
- Whenever the engine is turned off
- At the end of the working day
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: B. When brakes are very hot, or very wet in freezing weather
Very hot brakes can be damaged by the parking brakes, and very wet brakes can freeze in place in cold weather.
السؤال 25 من 30

- Chock the wheels and let the brakes cool first
- Spray the brakes with water to cool them quickly
- Set the parking brake right away to hold the truck
- Leave the engine running in gear to hold the truck
أظهر الإجابة
الإجابة: A. Chock the wheels and let the brakes cool first
Do not set the parking brakes on very hot brakes. Chock the wheels and let them cool.
السؤال 26 من 30
Your brakes are wet and it is freezing outside. How can you keep them from freezing?
- Drain the air tanks before you park the truck
- Brake lightly in a low gear to heat and dry them
- Pump the brake pedal many times while parked
