technician suspects a faulty front axle. Which of these is most likely the cause? -
(correct answer)Outer CV Joint
The tread of a tire is worn in the center and not on the outer shoulders. Technician A
says this is caused by an improper wheel alignment angle. Technician B says this is
caused by an over-inflated tire. Who is correct? (Just the letter) - (correct answer)B
,A vehicle with power assist brakes has a hard brake pedal. Which of these is the most
likely cause? - (correct answer)A Faulty Brake Booster
Technician A says that oil should be squirted into all of the cylinders before taking a
compression test. Technician B says that if the compression greatly increases when
some oil is squirted into the cylinders, it indicates defective or worn piston rings. Which
technician is correct? (Letter only) - (correct answer)B
During a cylinder leakage (leak-down) test, air is noticed coming out of the oil fill
opening. Technician A says that the oil filter may be clogged. Technician B says that the
piston rings may be worn or defective. Which technician is correct? (Letter only) -
(correct answer)B

Valve during filling
To flush a hydraulic clutch system, what should be used? - (correct answer)DOT 3
The engine of a vehicle will start, but is slow cranking. Technician A says there may be
resistance in the starter circuit. Technician B says to perform a voltage drop test to test
for excessive resistance in the starter circuit. Who is correct? ("A" "B" or "Both") -
(correct answer)Both
Technician A says a stuck open PCV valve will cause a lean fuel condition. Technician B
says the PCV system removes blowby gases from the crankcase. Who is correct? ("A"
"B" or "Both") - (correct answer)Both

engine. The vehicle overheats after the technician has replaced the hose and added
coolant. Which of these is most likely the cause of this condition? - (correct answer)Air
Pocket
, Engine mounts were recently replaced on a front wheel drive vehicle with independent
suspension. The vehicle now has a steady pull to the left at all speeds. Technician A
says this is most likely caused by loose motor mounts. Technician B says this is most
likely caused by a misaligned engine cradle. Who is correct? ("A" "B" or "Both") -
(correct answer)B
A vehicle's right front wheel has a growling noise that increases with vehicle speed. The
most likely cause is: - (correct answer)Worn out wheel bearing
A vehicle pulls to the left only while braking. Technician A says this could be a restricted
left front brake line. Technician B says this could be a frozen right front caliper. Who is
correct? ("A" "B" or "Both") - (correct answer)B
A vehicle's air conditioner blows cold air while driving at normal speeds, but warm while
sitting at stop lights. The least-likely cause of this condition is: - (correct answer)Frozen
expansion valve
A vehicle blows blue/gray smoke from the tailpipe only when first started in the morning.
The most likely cause of this condition is: - (correct answer)Leaking valve seal
The headlights get brighter as the engine is revved and RPM's increase. Technician A
says this is caused by a high capacity battery. Technician B says this is caused by a
faulty voltage regulator. Who is correct? ("A" "B" or "Both") - (correct answer)B
A technician is unable to balance a tire on a vehicle that vibrates at speeds above 35
mph. Technician A says to continue adding weights around the rim up to 20 ounces.
Technician B says to dismount the tire from the rim and inspect the inside for liquid or
debris. Who is correct? ("A" "B" or "Both") - (correct answer)B
While performing an oil change the technician notices a red colored fluid leaking
between the transmission and the engine. Technician A says this is caused by a leaking
