A. One system is called the "primary" system and the other one is called the "secondary" system.
B. Usually, one system operates the front axle and the other one operates the rear axle.
C. All of the above are true.
D. It uses a single set of brake controls.
Most heavy-duty vehicles use dual air brake systems for safety. A dual air brake system has two separate air brake systems, which use a single set of brake controls. One system or primary system typically operates the regular brakes on the rear axle or axles. The other or secondary system operates the regular brakes on the front axle and possibly one rear axle.

A. a white lamp on the right side.
B. a yellow lamp on the left side.
C. a white lamp on the left side.
Converter dollies built on or after March 1, 1998, are required to have antilock brakes. These dollies will have a yellow lamp on the left side of the dolly.
3 / 50
A. Stop and safely park as soon as possible.
B. Up shift.
C. Adjust the brake pedal for more travel.
When the low air pressure warning light and buzzer first come on, bring the vehicle to a safe stop right away, while you can still control the brakes.
4 / 50
A. 32
B. 23
C. 50
The air brake lag distance at 55 mph on dry pavement adds about 32 feet.
5 / 50
A. Remove the keys.
B. Set the parking brakes.
C. Do all of the above.
D. Chock the wheels.
Never leave your vehicle unattended without applying the parking brakes or chocking the wheels. Your vehicle might roll away and cause injury and damage
6 / 50
A. not going to take full effect until your psi drops to a certain range, typically 20 to 30 psi.
B. all of the above.
C. made up of powerful springs that are held back by air pressure while you are driving.
D. brakes that come on automatically on a truck or tractor when the psi drops too low.
Spring brakes are an important backup system: powerful springs that automatically apply the brakes if they sense that air pressure has been lost for some reason, such as a leak. They will also apply the brakes if the psi gets too low, although ideally, you should take control of your brakes before that happens.
7 / 50
A. 125
B. 150
C. 100
The governor controls when the air compressor will pump air into the air storage tanks. When air tank pressure rises to the "cut-out" level around 125 psi, the governor stops the compressor from pumping air. When the tank pressure falls to the "cut-in" pressure around 100 psi, the governor allows the compressor to start pumping again.
8 / 50
A. Air pressure applied to the brakes.
B. The speed of the air compressor.
C. When air is pumped into the air tanks.
The governor controls when the air compressor will pump air into the air storage tanks. When air tank pressure rises to the "cut-out" level around 125 psi, the governor stops the compressor from pumping air. When the tank pressure falls to the "cut-in" pressure around 100 psi, the governor allows the compressor to start pumping again.
9 / 50
A. Air pressure
B. Spring pressure
C. Fluid pressure
All trucks, truck tractors, and buses must be equipped with emergency brakes and parking brakes. They must be held on by mechanical force because air pressure can eventually leak away. Spring brakes are usually used to meet these needs.
10 / 50
A. have the problem fixed after your trip is over.
B. the air pressure may drop too low during driving.
C. the alcohol evaporator may be low.
If air pressure does not build up fast enough, your pressure may drop too low during driving, requiring an emergency stop. Don't drive until you get the problem fixed.
11 / 50
A. Rid the wet tank of alcohol that condenses and sits at the bottom.
B. Eliminate the need for daily tank draining.
C. Reduce the risk of ice in air brake valves in cold weather.
Some air brake systems have an alcohol evaporator to put alcohol into the air system. This helps to reduce the risk of ice in air brake valves and other parts during cold weather. Daily air tank drainage is still needed to get rid of water and oil.
12 / 50
A. After every working day.
B. After every four hours of service.
C. Once a week.
If your vehicle does not have automatic air tank drains, drain your air tanks at the end of each working day to remove moisture and oil. Otherwise, the brakes could fail.
13 / 50
A. the brakes to fade.
B. the modulating control valve to wear out.
C. the brake linings to split.
Brakes can fade or fail from excessive heat caused by using them too much and not relying on the engine braking effect.
14 / 50
A. Disconnecting the steering axle brakes will help keep your vehicle in a straight-line during emergency braking.
B. Never do it without downshifting first.
C. Don't lock the wheels for longer than an instant.
Emergency braking does not mean pushing down on the brake pedal as hard as you can. That will only keep the wheels locked up and cause a skid. If the wheels are skidding, you cannot control the vehicle.
15 / 50
A. Foot brakes.
B. Emergency brakes.
C. S-cam brakes.
Air brakes are really three different braking systems: service brake, parking brake, and emergency brake.
16 / 50
A. shortens your stopping distance.
B. decreases your normal braking capability.
C. increases your normal braking capability.
D. activates when your wheels are about to lock up.
ABS is a computerized system that keeps your wheels from locking up during hard brake applications.
17 / 50
A. All weather conditions
B. None
C. Good weather only
D. Wet or icy conditions only
Front wheel brakes have been shown to be ideal under all weather and driving conditions. Front wheel braking is unlikely to cause a skid even on icy roads.
18 / 50
A. You will have no brake function and your truck will be out of control.
B. You will still have normal brake function and will just need to get the ABS repaired soon.
C. It may cause problems with other mechanical systems and possibly pose a huge fire risk.
D. It will slow your truck to a halt and force you to pull over.
Without ABS you still have normal brake functions. Drive and brake as you always have.
19 / 50
A. S-cam brake
B. Disc brakes
C. Wedge drum
Wedge brakes and disc brakes are less common than s-cam brakes.
20 / 50
A. Continue to step on and off the brake pedal until the manufacturer's low psi specification is met for spring brakes to deploy.
B. On single vehicles, continue to step on and off the brake pedal until the parking brake valve pops out.
C. On tractor-trailer vehicles, continue to step on and off the brake pedal until the parking brake valve pops out.
D. All of the above are correct.
On both tractor-trailers and single vehicles, to test whether the spring brakes will come on automatically, use the same method you use for testing the low air pressure warning signal: Step on and off the brake pedal, this time until you reach an even lower psi reading and the parking brake valve closes or pops out.
21 / 50
A. ABS is still optional.
B. Check if the vehicle was manufactured after 2000.
C. Check if the vehicle was manufactured after 2010.
D. Check if the vehicle was manufactured after 1998.
The Department of Transportation requires that ABS be on: air brake vehicles built on or after March 1, 1998.
22 / 50
A. Only when driving downhill
B. Only on a slippery road
C. Never
Never push the brake pedal down when the spring brakes are on. If you do, the brakes could be damaged by the combined forces of the springs and the air pressure.
23 / 50
A. Can steer hard while braking hard.
B. Use the full power of the brakes and lock them.
C. Stay in a straight line and can steer.
You should brake in a way that will keep your vehicle in a straight line and allow you to turn if it becomes necessary. You can use the "controlled braking" method or the "stab braking" method.
24 / 50
A. you will drive too quickly.
B. your brakes may fail because of water freezing.
C. your left side brake will cease to operate.
D. your transmission fluid may drain out.
Compressed air usually has some water and some compressor oil in it, which is bad for the air brake system. For example, the water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
25 / 50
A. Brake hard until the wheels lock, and then get off the brakes for as much time as the wheels were locked.
B. Brake as hard as you can, get off the brakes when the wheels lock, get back on the brakes when the wheels start rolling again.
C. Pump the brake pedal rapidly and lightly.
Stab braking means that you: apply your brakes all the way, and release brakes when wheels lock up. As soon as the wheels start rolling, apply the brakes fully again.
26 / 50
A. To apply the brakes.
B. To release the brakes.
C. To test the slack adjusters.
When you push the brake pedal, air is let into each brake chamber. Air pressure pushes the rod out, moving the slack adjuster, thus twisting the brake camshaft. This turns the s-cam forcing the brake shoes away from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum.
27 / 50
A. It is shaped like the letter "S."
B. It is constantly spinning whenever the wheel is spinning.
C. It makes the brake shoes move in an S-shaped path.
The S-cam is S-shaped. The s-cam forces the brake shoes away from one another and presses them against the inside of the brake drum.
28 / 50
A. You should use only the braking necessary to stay safely in control.
B. You should drive faster so that you will be able to keep the trailer and tractor straight.
C. When you slow down, you should monitor your tractor and trailer and ease off the brakes to keep control.
D. Brake the same way no matter what you're driving: a vehicle with ABS, a vehicle with a trailer, or something else.
When you drive a vehicle with ABS, you should brake as you always have. In other words: use only the braking force necessary to stop safely and stay in control; brake the same way regardless of whether you have ABS on the bus, tractor, the trailer, or both; as you slow down monitor your tractor and trailer and back off the brakes if it is safe to do so to stay in control.
29 / 50
A. stop the vehicle, put it in low gear, depress the brake pedal, and then gently pull against the brakes.
B. brake firmly while slowly moving backward.
C. brake firmly while slowly moving forward.
Pull forward at 5 mph, apply the service brake and stop. Check to see that the vehicle does not pull to either side and that it stops when brake is applied.
30 / 50
A. 20
B. 60
C. 45
When the engine is at operating rpms, the pressure should build from 85 to 100 psi within 45 seconds in dual air systems. If the vehicle has larger than minimum air tanks, the buildup time can be longer and still be safe.
31 / 50
A. Brake lag distance.
B. Perception distance.
C. Reaction distance.
With air brakes there is an added delay or Brake Lag. This is the time required for the brakes to work after the brake pedal is pushed. With hydraulic brake, the brakes work instantly. With air brakes it takes a little time, one half second or more, for the air to flow through the lines to the brakes.
32 / 50
A. a buildup of brake air pressure.
B. no change in brake air pressure.
C. a loss of brake air pressure.
Each time you release the brakes, some compressed air leaves the system and must be replenished by the air compressor. If you keep pressing and releasing the brake pedal, air may leave the system faster than the air compressor can replenish it, and the air pressure may drop to the point that the brakes won't work.
33 / 50
A. expansion of the brake drums.
B. improper adjustment of the S-cams.
C. increased contact between the brake drums and the brake linings.
Brake fade results from excessive heat causing chemical changes in the brake lining, which reduce friction, and also causing expansion of the brake drums.
34 / 50
A. Should not be used because it is very unsafe.
B. A spring-loaded valve that will let you put on the brakes on slowly if the service brakes fail.
C. There is no such thing.
In some vehicles, a control handle on the dash board may be used to apply the spring brakes gradually. This is called a modulating valve. It is spring loaded, so you have a feel for the braking action. The more you move the control lever, the harder the spring brakes come on. They work this way, so you can control the spring brakes if the service brakes fail.
35 / 50
A. At least two brake heaters.
B. A supply pressure gauge.
C. An air use gauge.
All vehicles with air brakes have a pressure gauge connected to the air tank. If the vehicle has a dual air brake system, there will be a gauge for each half of the system.
36 / 50
A. lock the wheels for short periods of time.
B. can turn sharply.
C. brake in a straight line.
You apply the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels. Keep steering wheel movements very small while doing this. If you need to make a larger steering adjustment or if the wheels lock, release the brakes. Re-apply the brakes as soon as you can.
37 / 50
A. turn off the engine, release the parking brake, and let the system settle.
B. leave the engine running and release the parking brake.
C. charge the air system and leave the engine running.
With a fully-charged air system (typically 125 psi), turn off the engine, release the parking brake (push in); and time the air pressure drop.
38 / 50
A. compressed air is released from the air tanks.
B. compressed air enters the brake chambers.
C. compressed air is released from the brake chambers.
When you push the brake pedal, air is let into each brake chamber.
39 / 50
A. The brakes could fail.
B. The brakes could heat up.
C. The brakes could lock up.
Compressed air usually has some water and some compressor oil in it, which is bad for the air brake system. For example, the water can freeze in cold weather and cause brake failure.
40 / 50
A. 20 psi
B. 60 psi
C. 40 psi
Low air warning devices (buzzer, light, flag) should activate before air pressure drops below 60 psi or level specified by the manufacturer.
41 / 50
A. you have to press the brake pedal harder than usual to control your speed.
B. you release the brake pedal and your speed increases.
C. the brake feels spongy when you apply pressure.
As the overheated drums expand, the brake shoes and linings have to move farther to contact the drums, and the force of this contact is reduced. So, you will be pressing harder on the pedal.
42 / 50
A. If you will be conducting your pre-trip inspection
B. If you will only be away from the truck for a few minutes
C. Never
Never leave your vehicle unattended without applying the parking brakes or chocking the wheels. Your vehicle might roll away and cause injury and damage.
43 / 50
A. compressed air
B. natural gas
C. hydraulic fluid
Air brakes use compressed air to make the brakes work. Air brakes are a good and safe way of stopping large and heavy vehicles, but the brakes must be well maintained and used properly.
44 / 50
A. springs.
B. bolts and braces.
C. air pressure.
Parking or emergency brakes must be held on by mechanical force because air pressure can eventually leak away. Spring brakes are usually used to meet these needs. When driving, powerful springs are held back by air pressure.
45 / 50
A. All of the above
B. Not relying enough on engine braking
C. Excessive use of the service brakes
D. Brakes being out of adjustment
Brakes can fade or fail from excessive heat caused by using them too much and not relying on the engine braking effect. Brake fade is also affected by adjustment.
46 / 50
A. only the parking brakes
B. only the service brakes
C. parts of the service brakes and parking brakes
The emergency brake system uses parts of the service and parking brake systems to stop the vehicle in a brake system failure.
47 / 50
A. 125 psi.
B. 75 psi.
C. 150 psi.
Pumping by the air compressor should start at about 100 psi and stop at about 125 psi.
48 / 50
A. Parking brake system.
B. Service brake system.
C. Emergency brake system.
The service brake system applies and releases the brakes when you use the brake pedal during normal driving.
49 / 50
A. Begin braking when you are 10 mph above your safe speed.
B. Use stab braking.
C. Release the brake when you are 5 mph below your "safe" speed.
Snub braking method is used for steep downhill grades, in this method apply the brakes just hard enough to feel a definite slowdown. When your speed has been reduced to approximately five mph below your "safe" speed, release the brakes. When your speed has increased to your "safe" speed, repeat.
50 / 50
A. Is not affected by the condition of the service brakes.
B. Depends on the adjustment of the service brakes.
C. Increases when the service brakes are hot.
The braking power of spring brakes depends on the brakes being in adjustment. If the brakes are not adjusted properly, neither the regular brakes nor the emergency/parking brakes will work right.
