Question 1 of 194
1. Question
Category: Engine SystemsCoolant should be tested for ______________.
CorrectThe correct answer is D. All of the above are correct. Answer A is not correct by itself because while the pH can be an indication that the coolant needs to be replaced, the coolant also needs to be checked for the other factors. Answer B is not correct because while the freezing and boiling points are important, the coolant must also be checked for the other aspects to determine the true condition of the coolant. Answer C is not correct because even though the specific gravity is often used as a measure of the freezing and boiling point (percentage of ethylene glycol in the coolant), the coolant must also be checked for the other aspects to determine the true condition of the coolant.

Question 3 of 194
3. Question
Category: Engine SystemsWhat precautions are needed to be performed to help prevent air from getting trapped in the cooling system when replacing coolant?
CorrectThe correct answer is B. To help prevent air from being trapped in the cooling system, the bleeder valve, located at the highest point in the cooling system should be opened to allow the air to escape. Answer A is not correct because, while using the proper antifreeze is important, it will NOT prevent air from trapped in the system. Answer C is not correct because even though some vehicle manufacturers such as Honda and Toyota specify that premixed coolant be used, it will NOT prevent air from trapped in the system. Answer D is not correct because wearing protective gloves will not prevent air from getting trapped in the cooling system.

Question 4 of 194
4. Question
Category: Engine SystemsA ticking sound heard at about half engine speed is likely a ________ problem.
CorrectThe correct answer is C. The components of the valve train operate at half engine speed. These components include the camshaft, valve lifters, pushrods and rocker arms, if equipped. Answer A (rod bearings) is not correct because rod bearings ride on the crankshaft and therefore rotate at engine speed and not half engine speed so they would unlikely be a cause of a ticking sound heard at half engine speed. Answer B (main bearings) is not correct because main bearings are on the crankshaft and therefore rotate at engine speed and not half engine speed so they would unlikely be a cause of a ticking sound heard at half engine speed. Answer D (water pump) is not correct because it rotates at about the same speed as the engine through an accessory drive belt and not half engine speed so they would unlikely be a cause of a ticking sound heard at half engine speed.

Question 6 of 194
6. Question
Category: Engine SystemsWhy should the customer concern be verified by the Service Technician?
CorrectThe correct answer is D. Both B and C are correct. Answer B is correct because the concern has to be verified in order for the repair to be verified. Answer C is also correct because the concern has to be verified to ensure that the customer concern is a true problem and not normal operation. Answer A is not correct because while there may be a charge to the customer for diagnosis, there is seldom a charge to the customers for verifying the customer concern.

Question 7 of 194
7. Question
Category: Engine SystemsAn engine is leaking oil. Where should the Technician look to locate the source of the leak?
CorrectThe correct answer is A. Any fluid leak will tend to fall downward due to gravity and to flows toward the rear of the vehicle during driving due to airflow. Answer B is not correct because while fluids will be seen dripping from the lowest place, the location of the leak is usually higher. Answer C is not correct because the fluid leak will be wet (not dry). Answer D is not correct because the source of the leak is the highest place (not the lowest) place where the fluid is seen.

Question 8 of 194
8. Question
Category: Engine SystemsEngine makes a knocking noise and is heard when the engine is first started, then goes away. What is the most likely cause?
CorrectThe correct answer is C. A worn rod bearing will usually produce a knocking sound when the engine is first started and then goes away when engine oil finally fills the gap and the sound then goes away. Answer A (worn main bearings) is not correct because a worn main bearing will usually make a knocking sound when the engine is under a heavy load and not heard at start. Answer B (leak intake manifold) is not likely to cause to a knocking sound although it could the root cause of coolant leaking into a cylinder overnight and then causing some sounds and maybe some exhaust smoke or steam, but is unlikely to be the cause of an engine knock at engine start. Answer D (cracked piston) is not correct because a cracked piston is unlikely to make knocking sound but if it did, it would not go away after the engine has run.

9. Question
Category: Engine SystemsWhen replacing engine covers, what is considered to be best practice?
CorrectThe correct answer is A. All fasteners should be tightened to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications and this may be expressed in inch-pounds (not foot-pounds). Answer B is not correct because using RTV on a rubber gasket will cause the gasket to move out of location which will likely cause a leak. Answer C is not correct because old engine covers can be reused if they are not damaged and the gasket surface is unharmed. Answer D is not correct because just answer A is correct.

Question 12 of 194
12. Question
Category: Engine SystemsWhen should the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) (AdBlue) fluid be refilled?
CorrectThe correct answer is D. Both A and B are correct. Answer A is correct because the fluid should be added when the warning message appears on the dash. Answer B is also correct because most vehicle manufacturers size the DEF reservoir so that it should only need to be filled at the schedule oil change intervals thereby making it more convenient for the vehicle owner. Answer C is not correct because the Diesel Exhaust fluid is consumed by the emission-control system when the engine is running and needs to be filled on a regular basis.

Question 13 of 194
13. Question
Category: Engine SystemsIf a new thermostat has a “jiggle valve,” where should it be located when installing it?
CorrectThe correct answer is A. The “jiggle” valve is an opening in the thermostat that allows air to escape upward to the radiator where it can then leave the cooling system and not get trapped as an air pocket. This valve needs to be placed in the up position because air is lighter than the coolant and will tend to move upward in the system. Answers B, C, and D are not correct because they do not state that the jiggle valve needs to be at the 12 o’clock position to allow any trapped air to escape.

Question 14 of 194
14. Question
Category: Engine SystemsThe air dam under the front of a vehicle is missing due to contact with a parking lot barrier. The part should be replaced because ______________.
CorrectThe correct answer is B. The air dam used in the front of the vehicle is used to direct the airflow up through the radiator and not underneath the vehicle at highway speeds. Therefore, if the air dam is missing, a lack of cooling at highway speeds is the most likely cause. Answer A is not correct because during city-type driving the cooling fan is responsible for ensuing sufficient airflow through the radiator and the ram air effect is not a big factor at lower vehicle speeds. Answer C is not correct because it serves a function and while it does add a sporty look to many vehicles, this is not the purpose or function of the front air dam. Answer D is not correct because the air dam directs the air through the radiator instead of traveling underneath the vehicle and while it may reduce wind noise at highway speed, that is not the purpose and function of the air dam.

Question 16 of 194
16. Question
Category: Engine SystemsA clogged air filter will likely cause what symptom on a fuel-injected engine?
CorrectThe correct answer is B. A clogged air filter will restrict the airflow into the engine and this will reduce engine power. It is similar to having a throttle plate that does not open all the way. The engine will operate normally at idle and at low speeds but will not have normal power. Answer A is not correct because a restricted air filter does not affect the air/fuel ratio in a fuel injected engine unlike what can occur if the engine was equipped with a carburetor. Answer C is not correct because the air/fuel ratio is not affected and therefore the exhaust emissions, including NOx emissions, would not change. Answer D is not correct because only b is correct.

Question 17 of 194
17. Question
Category: Engine SystemsA defective or clogged PCV valve can ______________.
CorrectThe correct answer is A. A clogged or defective PCV valve will affect the idle because 20% or more of the air entering the engine at idle flows through the PCV valve. Therefore, any fault with the valve that affects airflow will affect engine operation but mostly at idle speed only. Answer B is not correct because a defective PCV valve will unlikely recue engine power because the amount of air entering the engine above idle speed is very small compared to the amount of air entering the engine through the throttle plate. Answer C is not correct because an engine misfire is unlikely to be caused by a defective PCV because the amount of air entering the engine above idle speed is very small compared to the amount of air entering the engine through the throttle plate would not cause a misfire. Answer D is not correct because a fault with the PCV valve does not affect the evaporative emission control system which is part of the fuel system and not part of the engine vacuum.

18. Question
Category: Engine SystemsA P0300 is what type of diagnostic trouble code?
CorrectThe correct answer is B. The number zero after the P (passenger car) indicates that the code is the same for all vehicles (generic). If the number had been a one or a two, then this would indicate that it is a vehicle specific DTC. Answer A is not correct the first number is a zero which indicates that the code is the same for all vehicle regardless of make or model. Answer C is not correct because OBDII trouble codes cannot be retrieved using a jumper wire and counting flashes which as commonly done with some older vehicle s before 1996. Answer D is not correct the first number is a zero which indicates that the code is the same for all vehicles regardless of make or model.

Category: Suspension and SteeringA vehicle equipped with an air suspension system needs to be disabled before hoisting the vehicles or before making repairs to the system. What is the most commonly used method to disable the system?
CorrectThe correct answer is C. Most vehicles equipped with an air suspension have a switch, usually located in the trunk area that should be used to turn of the system if it is to be lifted on a hoist. This keeps the suspension system from letting all of the air out the system. Answer A is not correct because while a scan tool may be able to be used to disable the system, it is not the primary way to do so for routine service operations. Answer B is not correct because while disconnecting the air pump may work, this unit is usually in a location that is difficult to get to and is not designed to be sued to disconnect the system during routine service operations. Answer D is not correct because while disconnecting the air shocks may work, this procedure is not designed to be sued to disconnect the system during routine service operations.

Category: BrakesA disc brake caliper does not move and one of the pads is worn more than the other. What is the most likely cause?
CorrectThe correct answer is C. On a vehicle equipped with a floating or sliding caliper-type disc brakes, if the slides or guide pins do not move, then the one pad will wear more than the other (usually the inboard pad). Answer A is not correct because one pad worn more than the other is not normal even though it may be normal for the caliper to be fixed on a fixed-type caliper design. Answer B is not correct because if the caliper piston was stuck in the bore of the caliper, no braking forces would be applied to the brake pads and therefore the pads would not wear at all let alone only on one side. Answer D is not correct because a leaking caliper dust shield may cause the brakes to grab if brake fluid got on the pads, but this could not cause the caliper to be stuck nor cause one brake pad to wear more than the other.

Category: BrakesTwo Technicians are discussing how to check a vacuum brake booster for proper operation. Technician A says that the brake pedal should be depressed several times, and then depressed and held down and the engine started. Technician B says that the vacuum booster is working normally if the booster is able to supply 2 or 3 assisted brake applications before becoming a hard to depress brake pedal. Which Technician is correct?
CorrectThe correct answer is C. Both Technicians are correct. Technician A is correct because to test a vacuum booster, the vacuum needs to be depleted from the booster which normally requires that the brake pedal be depressed several times and then the pedal depressed and held down when the engine is started. If the booster is working as designed, the brake pedal should drop when the engine is started. Technician B is correct because a working vacuum booster should be able to supply 2 or 3 assisted brake applications after the engine has stopped running.
