AUMT 1407: CHAPTER 6 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED
SOLUTIONS 100% CORRECT!!!
A tighter-than-normal engine will decrease the electrical current drawn by
the starting system.
✔ Answer: False
If the starter motor spins slowly and draws more current than normal, it
usually indicates an internal issue with the starter.
✔ Answer: False
A neutral safety switch allows electrical continuity when the vehicle is in drive
or reverse.
✔ Answer: False
(Correct: It allows continuity only in Park or Neutral.)
The ring gear on the flywheel has several worn areas. Technician A says this
can affect how the drive gear engages. Technician B says it would reduce the
starter's current draw. Who is correct?
✔ Answer: Technician A only
While cranking the engine, a voltage drop of 0.7 volts is measured between the
battery’s positive terminal and the starter solenoid. What action should be
taken?
✔ Answer: Inspect and replace the cable or connection between the test points
Which of the following is least likely to prevent the starter solenoid from
engaging?
✔ Answer: A bent armature shaft
(This would affect motor rotation, not solenoid engagement.)
, A vehicle is being checked for a no-crank condition. A voltmeter placed across the
contacts of the starter solenoid indicates 12 volts when the ignition is turned to the
“start” position. A distinct “click” noise is heard coming from the solenoid at the
same time. Technician A says the starter motor may have an open armature or field
current. Technician B says the starter solenoid needs to be replaced. Who is
correct?
B only
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
The overrunning clutch protects the armature from
spinning too fast.
Which of the following statements is true of solenoids?
All of the above
Technician A says the two windings of the solenoid are called the pull-in and the
hold-in windings. Technician B says both windings of the solenoid are continually
energized any time the ignition switch is in the start position and the starter motor
is spinning. Who is correct?
A only
