Antilock brake system (ABS) - ANSWER-A brake system that uses
wheel speed sensors, a
computer, and a hydraulic actuator to maintain directional stability
and steerability during
braking. The system "cycles" the brakes on and off to prevent wheel
lockup and skidding.
ASE - ANSWER-ASE, is short for the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence.
Automatic transmission - ANSWER-A transmission where the gears are
shifted automatically with
a limited amount of input from the driver.
Bore - ANSWER-The diameter or width of the cylinder.
Bottom dead center (BDC) - ANSWER-The lowest position in the
cylinder that a piston can travel without reversing its direction.
Brakes specialist - ANSWER-A person who troubleshoots, repairs, and
replaces all types of
, brake systems.
Clearance space - ANSWER-The space between the piston and the
cylinder head when the piston
is at TDC.
Clearance volume - ANSWER-The space above a piston when it is at
the top dead center.
Clutch - ANSWER-The connection between the engine and
transmission.
Combustion - ANSWER-The intense burning of the fuel-air mixture in
the combustion chamber.
Combustion chamber - ANSWER-The volume of the space in the
cylinder above the piston with
the piston at top dead center (TDC) in the compression stroke. Formed
by the head of
the piston, the cylinder walls, and the head.
Compression ratio - ANSWER-The ratio of the volume in the engine
cylinder with the piston
at bottom dead center (BDC) to the volume at top dead center (TDC).
Compression stage/stroke - ANSWER-The second stroke of the OTTO,
or four-stroke, cycle was the
piston moves upward from bottom dead center to top dead center,
compressing the fuel
and air mixture.
