A properly functioning load sensing proportioning valve will: - ANSWERS-cause an increase in the hydraulic pressure during braking at the rear wheel cylinders when the vehicle is loaded. which of the following is a quick way to isolated a defective master cylinder? There are no external leaks in the system. - ANSWERS-pump up the brake pedal, then hold it firm. if the pedal slowly drops to the floor, the master cylinder may be defective. After rebuilding a master cylinder, the rod between the master cylinder and booster should be: - ANSWERS-adjusted properly Upon inspecting brake fluid condition, the technician observes the diaphragm in the master cylinder cup is swollen. Which of the following is the most likely cause? - ANSWERS-silicone fluid added to the system When inspecting brake fluid levels, a technician observes low fluid levels. which of the following should be done first? - ANSWERS- Inspect disc brake pads for excessive wear During a road test, you find that when normal braking pressure is applied the pedal slowly goes to the floor. what is the most likely cause of this problem? - ANSWERS-a leaking master cylinder primary piston seal Wheel speed sensors: - ANSWERS-send an A/C signal to the control module Before replacing a hydralic brake hose on an ABS equipped vehicle, you should first: - ANSWERS-relieve brake system pressure according to manufacturer procedures
