Title: Describe the procedure for performing a road test to check the brake system operation, including an anti-lock brake system (ABS).
Course: Automotive Technology I (20104-I) > Section: Brakes: General

Description should include

- confirming that the vehicle performs the ABS self-test before beginning the test drive
- confirming that the brake pedal has the proper amount of resistance when pressed
- putting the vehicle through a variety of braking scenarios during the test drive to check for even and smooth braking
- confirming that there is no engagement of the ABS system under normal braking conditions.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What would cause a spongy, weak, or no-brake pedal?
- What might cause a very hard brake pedal with very little effort applied to the brakes?
- What do brakes feel like when the ABS system engages?
