equipped with dual tanks, tanks over 50 gal, vehicles for which no adapter is available, or have inaccessible canisters, unless the vapor line is accessible. - All vehicles receive a LPFET, unless ___________. Idle Test, Crankcase Test, BAR Snap Test - What are the three parts of a "visible smoke test" on a gasoline vehicle? Automatic transmission in its normal driving gear, manual transmission in second gear - What gear should be used when performing an ASM emissions test? Faulty brakes, low oil pressure, large coolant leak, tire failure, gasoline leaks, engine noise, overheating - These items can cause a vehicle to be rejected from an inspection. Tire pressure, missing emission label, traction control - These items are not a reason to reject vehicle from an inspection Stoichiometry - What is the term for ideal combustion efficiency? Advise the vehicle owner to have the vehicle diagnosed to determine the cause of the failure - If a vehicle fails an inspection for any reason, what should the technician do? Use the VIN on the vehicle and continue with the inspection. - If the VIN on the registration and vehicle differ, what action should the technician take? Notify the customer both orally and in writing that they are unable to repair if it fails. - If a test and repair station does not have the tools/equipment to repair a vehicle, what must be done prior to accepting a vehicle for an inspection. Location of liquid fuel leak, reason for smoke test failure, E.O. numbers for aftermarket parts, component which fails in "other" category, monitors not run to completion, location of inaccessible canister for LPFET. - What must be noted on a VIR? Check for a BAR Referee Label, and continue with the test if equipped. - A vehicle has been converted from diesel to gasoline. All equipment is installed for the conversion. What action should the inspector take? Verify the aftermarket parts are approved. - What action should taken be when testing a vehicle with aftermarket parts? Basic - What program area performs only TSI tests on a biennial basis? Enhanced - What program area performs both TSI & ASM tests on a biennial basis? Change of ownership - What program area performs only TSI tests on change of ownership? After the tail pipe sampling part of the test. - When is the tailpipe (idle) smoke test performed during a BAR97 inspection? When the OIS prompts you. - When is the tailpipe (idle) smoke test performed during a OIS inspection? Obtain the part's identification numbers/name, and refer to the parts, manufacturer's catalogs/website to see it is designated as either a replacement part, and/or allowed for street use on emission-controlled vehicles. - What action should be taken when testing a vehicle with an aftermarket carburetor? During WOT or a backfire. - When does the PCV valve stop the flow of crankcase vapors into the intake? the vehicle to stumble or die - Opening the EGR during idle should cause _________. Check upper and lower radiator hoses, wait for fan to cycle. - How could a technician verify a vehicle is warmed up properly to begin the tailpipe-sampling portion of the test? 2000 and newer - OIS inspections are required on all gasoline and hybrid cars ________. Dirty filters, hose in the tailpipe, zero air off. - What can cause a "HC Hang-Up" error? Find and repair the leak prior to performing an inspection. - What should be done if the BAR97 analyzer fails the leak test (for the sample hose). 1998 and newer - OIS inspections are required on all diesel vehicles ________. When the spark occurs in the combustion chamber relative to crankshaft position. - What is ignition timing? +/- 100 RPM - What is the RPM tolerance during an ignition timing functional test, if no manufacturers' spec is given? Enter F (defective) into the analyzer and follow the prompts. Also, note the defect on the VIR and final invoice. - What should be done in the case of a damaged harmonic balancer (mechanical defect) during an ignition timing functional test?
