ASE A5 Practice Test

2025 Edition

ASE identifies brakes as an individual service area. The brakes service area involves the components listed below.

  • Hydraulic system -Components (such as the brake lines and master cylinder) that transfers power from the brake pedals to either disc or drum brakes.
  • Mechanical Foundation System -Components (such as discs and pads or drums and shoes) that creates the friction required to stop the vehicle.
  • Electronic system -Components that notify the driver of a failure in the brake system. In anti-lock brake (ABS) systems, electrical system components work to prevent tire skidding.
