Diesel Engine Performance 2 Exam
Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
An engine had a fault code for high crankcase pressure and its
power was derated. Technician A says that the crankcase filter could
have frozen when exposed to extreme cold conditions. Technician B
says that a frozen filter would likely blow engine gaskets and seals
rather than cause a derate condition. Who is correct? -
correct answer ✅Tech A
Technician A says that a throttle plate on a late-model diesel engine
helps increase the exhaust temperatures for the exhaust
aftertreatment catalysts. Technician B says that diesel air intake is
not throttled. Who is correct? -
correct answer ✅Tech A
