    Which of the following is used to diagnose an anti-lock braking system fault?

    • DVOM

    • Oscilloscope

    • Both A and B

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    Both a DVOM (Digital Volt-Ohm Meter) and an oscilloscope can be used to diagnose an anti-lock braking system (ABS) fault. A DVOM is used to measure voltage, resistance, and continuity, which can help diagnose electrical issues in the ABS system. An oscilloscope, on the other hand, can display waveforms and voltage patterns, allowing technicians to analyze signals from ABS sensors and identify any abnormalities. By using both tools, technicians can effectively diagnose and troubleshoot ABS faults.
