ABS basics : Objective questions- Tick one correct option

Sl No 1 2 Question With the vehicle having ABS, the drivers will be able to drive faster even on wet roads. When the ABS warning lamps indicates a fault, the driver should A B A B Yes No Immediately stop the vehicle and call the Authorized service personnel to attend the fault since this is related to the safety. Continue driving normally and get the fault repaired at the end of the trip, since the basic brake system continues to function to full capacity. Disconnect ABS. No action required. ABS continues to work in spite of a fault. ABS will not do anything unless wheel lock is foreseen.. ABS will increase the intensity of the brake to avoid an accident Driver applies a brake Ignition is switched on Wheels tend to lock Wheel speed sensor signals Modulator valve signal Air pressure All of the above ECU Modulator valve Sensor All of the above None of the above Exhaust brake is temporarily switched off. Retarder is temporarily switched off. Both of the above. Engine is temporarily switched off. Recommended grease to be applied on the bush. No grease should be applied on the bush. Bush is not to be fitted. Facing upwards. Facing sideways. Facing downwards. Whether the vehicle is a Bus, Truck or a tractor. Whether ABS make is Wabco or KB and voltage is 12 V or 24 V. Both of the above. None of the above. Option Tick Mark

C D 3 If driver has not applied the brake A with sufficient intensity during panic braking condition, then B Abs will intervene the normal braking action whenever A B C What is the main input to ABS A ECU B C D Which component can be A changed between Wabco and KB B ABS systems, and still the C warranty will remain valid D E When ABS comes in to action A B C D During sensor installation A B C A B C A B C D

When normally wheels lock?

How should the drivers prevent wheel locking while driving vehicle with ABS?

16 What needs to be controlled to prevent wheel locking? 17 What are the main parts in ABS?

18

How does ABS sense wheel locking?

A B C D

Incase of their damage, entire harness or sensor assembly needs to be replaced. The vehicle can catch fire in case of short circuit. Fault in ABS will violate regulatory requirement. Fault in the ABS will result in complete loss of brake. Inlet port to delivery of Dual brake valve and out let port to brake chamber / spring brake actuator. Inlet port to brake chamber / spring brake actuator and out let port to delivery of Dual brake valve. It can be fitted on the long member. It has to be fitted in the cab. It can be fitted where it is well ventilated and protected from water and high temperature. None of the above. When the vehicle is having perfect good braking, When braking torque applied to the wheel is too high and the road is slippery When the tyre is new When brake is applied during high vehicle speed By gear shifting By mildly applying the brake By repeated pumping of brake pedal None of the above. Air system pressure Braking pressure in the chambers and the barking torque at the wheels Speed of the vehicle by releasing accelerator Pole wheel, Power cable, Modulator valve, warning lamp Pole wheel, ECU, Modulator Valve, Cable harness ECU, Modulator Valve, Pole wheel, Wheel speed sensor Modulator valve, ECU, Warning lamp, Wheel speed sensor By sensing wheel speeds and comparing with engine speed. By sensing wheel speeds and comparing with Foot brake valve pedal pressing By sensing the wheel speeds, comparing with each other and comparing with vehicle reference speed By sensing the wheel speeds, comparing with each other and comparing with engine speed.

What is the function of sensor?

To convert speed from analog to digital form

B C D 20 How does ABS prevent wheel locking? A B C 21 What should be the maximum gap between pole wheel and sensor? What do you do if there is excess sensor air gap? A B C D A B C D 23 What do you do if there is cable A cut error? B C D 24 After correcting the fault, if ABS warning lamp is still on, then A B C D 25 How will you decide if there is a problem with sensor A B C D 26 A

To sense the pole wheel teeth, convert to wheel rpm data and send to ECU To analyse wheel speed and detect locking To release brake and re-apply By sensing the wheel speed, analyse and giving indication to the driver By sensing the wheel speed, analyse and reducing the system pressure By sensing the wheel speed, analyse and repeatedly modulating brake pressure 0.2mm 0.7mm 1.0mm 1.5mm Pull and shake the sensor cable Push the sensor towards pole wheel softly Hit on the head of sensor with hammer Replace sensor Replace the harness Join the cut cable ends and use insulation tape Join the cut cable ends by soldering Leave the cable as it is, without repairing Drive the vehicle above 6 kmph speed and check whether lamp goes off. Drive the vehicle above 6 kmph speed and check whether wheels are locking during panic braking. Erase the fault from the momory. Continue to operate thee vehicle inspite of a fault. Remove the sensor from wheel end and inspect for damage Use multi-meter and check for resistance of sensor Interchange sensor between left and right and check , Interchange the sensor between diagonal wheels and check) Yes

during gradual braking if any pulling is there whether ABS will help? If tractor has ABS, to get the full benefits of tractor ABS, whether the connected trailer also needs to have ABS?
