| Boiling point test | A test to determine the boiling point of brake fluid |
| bleeding | The process of removing air from a hydraulic braking system. |
| CANbus circuit | A two-wire communication network that transmits status and command signals between control modules in a vehicle. |
| Digigtal multimeter (DMM)-galvanic reaction test | A test using a DMM to measure the voltage created in worn out brake fluid. |
| free play | The amount of movement between two mating parts. |
| ISO flare method | A method for joining brake lines, also called a bubble flare. Created by flaring the line slightly out and then back in, leaving the line bubbled near the end. |
| manual bleeding | A bleeding method where one person manually operates the brake pedal while the other person opens and closes the bleeder screws on the wheel brake units to allow the air and old brake fluid to be pushed out. |
| pressure bleeding | A bleeding method that uses clean brake fluid under pressure from an auxiliary tool or piece of equipment to force the air and old brake fluid from the hydraulic braking system. |
| test strip | A chemically reactive strip that turns color when exposed to a reactive fluid |
| Time/mileage | A reference to the method of determining when a particular service should be performed. |
| vacuum bleeding | Bleeding process that uses a vacuum bleeder to pull the air and old brake fluid from the system. |
