ASE S4 BRAKES QUESTIONS ANDANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
The air system is maintained at what pressure? - ANSWER 100 to 120 pounds per square inch.
At what pressure does the low pressure switch activate? - ANSWER Below 60 pounds per square inch.
A safety or pop off valve is usually installed in which reservoir? - ANSWER In the one closest to the
compressor.
Why is the Wet tank referred to as such? - ANSWER It is the one closest to the compressor and has the
most water in it.
What is an after cooler used for in an air system? - ANSWER It condenses and eliminates most of the
water from an air system.

which captures water and oil.
What does the dual control foot valve control? - ANSWER After the wet tank the valve controls the
primary and secondary systems.
In a normal operation what does the primary air brake system control? - ANSWER The rear axle brakes.
In a normal operation what does the secondary air brake system control? - ANSWER The front axle
brakes.
What does the two way check valve do in the air brake system? - ANSWER It allows dominant pressure to
activate the stoplight switch and to release the parking brakes.

cause? - ANSWER Defective supply system components.
If air brake systems have instability and premature wear what could be the cause? - ANSWER As little as
a 4 pounds per square inch difference between axles can cause this.
If all around braking performance is poor or low air pressure is prevalent what could be the cause? -
ANSWER Clogged compressor air filter. Slipping belt. Air leaks. Restricted lines. Defective governor.
Malfunctioning air compressor.
If air system pressure is too high what could be the cause? - ANSWER Defective governor. Reservoir
safety valve. Governor's cut off pressure.
