Question

Tech A says that as moisture levels increase in brake fluid, the boiling point of the brake fluid decreases. Tech B says that field tests by the Society of Automotive Engineers have documented that the average 1-year-old car has approximately 2% moisture in the brake fluid. Who is correct

Answer 1

Answer: Both Technician A and B are correct.

Explanation:

Technicians A and B are both right about their diagnosis. The Society of Automotive Engineers performed extensive research on vehicle brake fluids and found that there is typically a 2% moisture content in the brake fluid after a year of operating a vehicle. And as the moisture content of the brake fluid rises, the boiling point of the brake fluid decreases as well.
