VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
FULL REVIEW PACK
●● A- for best results and less corrosion at the solder point, a rosin core
flux should be used.
Answer: 3. Which of these should be used when soldering electrical
wiring connections?
A. Rosin Core Flux
B. Acid core Flux
C. Sulfur Core Flux
D. none of the above.
●● D- For maximum protection to the computer controlled system of
any electronic circuit, it is best to use at least a 10 megohm impedance
digital multimeter.
Answer: 4. When testing computer controlled systems, a digital multi-
meter should be used with an input impedance of at least:
A. 10k ohms
B. 100k ohms
C. 1 megohm
D.10 megohms
,●● B- always use an ammeter of a low amperage amp clamp with your
DMM to troubleshoot a slow drain in an electrical circuit>
Answer: 5. When troubleshooting a slow drain on the battery, which of
these diagnostic tools should be used?
A. Ohmeter
B. ammeter
C. voltmeter
D. Test light
●● B- A galvanometer is an analog type voltmeter. OEMs almost
universally recommend the use of a non intrusive conductive capacitive
type battery tester.
Answer: 6. The condition of a lead-acid battery is being checked. Tech A
says to use a galvanometer.. Tech B says to use a capacitive battery
tester.
A. Tech A only
B. Tech B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B
●● A- if an engine cranks slowly and the starter current draw is only 90
amps and the voltage is as high as 11 volts, the tech should next check
for excessive voltage drop in the starter motor circuit.
,Answer: 7. While testing a starting circuit on a 5.7 V8 engine, the Tech
finds that the engine cranks slowly. The starter current draw is 90 amps,
and the battery voltage while cranking is 11 volts. What should the Tech
Do next?
A. Check for voltage drop of the starter motor circuit.
B. Test the battery capacity.
C. Replace the starter motor, as a short is indicated.
D. Determine the condition of the engine.
●● C- Both techs are correct, worn alternator bearings and/or a bad
alternator diode will cause the alternator to be noisy.
Answer: 8. Tech A says that a noisy alternator could be caused by a bad
diode. Tech B says that noisy alternator could be caused by a worn
bearing. Who is right?
A. Tech A only
B. Tech B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B
●● D- if the circuit is open, as in the rotor winding shown, the
Ohmmeter will show infinite resistance or infinity, and the needle will
not move.
Answer: 9. The analog ohmmeter needle does not move when connected
to both sides of the rotor. This means the rotor winding is?
, A. Shorted
B. Grounded
C. Complete
D. Open
●● C- Both techs are right. Both an improperly rated flasher and an
incorrect wattage bulb can cause the turn signals to flash at incorrect
intervals
Answer: 10. A vehicle's turn signals flash too slowly. tech A claims that
the condition could be caused by a faulty flasher. Tech B says that a bulb
may be the wrong type. Who is right?
A. Tech A only
B. Tech B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B
●● C- Both techs are right. A short to ground has little or no resistance.
Current flow increases as resistance decreases.
Answer: 11. Tech A says a short circuit to ground in a circuit will
decrease resistance. Tech B says a short circuit will increase current
flow. Who is right?
A. Tech A only
B. tech B only
C. Both A and B
