- A.
True
- B.
False
- 10.If the ________________ anti-lock braking system warning lamp illuminates, it typically means the vehicle's power train control module has observed a fault in the anti-lock brake system and will need to be checked for diagnostic trouble codes.
- A.
Red
- B.
Blue
- C.

- B.
Tech B
- C.
Both Techs A and B
- D.

- 14.Tech A says that the piston on a brake caliper that integrates the parking brake will need to be screwed back in on the threaded shaft to retract it into the bore.
