- While troubleshooting a headlight problem: Technician A says that when one headlamp does not work, the problem may be a burned-out bulb or lamp. Technician B says that you should check for voltage at the bulb before replacing a bulb. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following would probably not cause the headlights on both sides of the vehicle not to work? An open in the power or ground circuit A bad (control) switch A blown fuse Low generator outputarrow_forwardTrue or False? The headlights on many adaptive head light systems can swivel up to 5 degrees in the direction the vehicle is turning.arrow_forward
- In El systems using one ignition coil for every two cylinders: Technician A says that two plugs fire at the same time with the same voltage used by each spark plug. Technician B says that one plug fires in the normal direction (center to side electrode) and the other in reversed polarity (side to center). Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that reverse lamp switches are activated at the transmission/transaxle by the gearshift lever. Technician B says that reverse lamp switches are activated by a sensor at the input shaft. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe turn signals operate in the left direction only; Technician A says that the flasher unit is bad. Technician B says that the fuse is probably blown. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- The front passenger power window motor goes down but not back up. Technician A says a faulty power window relay is the cause. Technician B says the passenger window switch may be the cause. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing ignition systems: Technician A says that an ignition system must supply high-voltage surges to the spark plugs. Technician B says that the system must maintain the spark long enough to burn all of the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that a sealed-beam headlight that is cracked should be replaced. Technician B says that cracking or breaking of the composite housing or lens does not prevent a halogen bulb from working. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that flickering vehicle lights can be caused by a circuit breaker that is kicking in and out due to a short. Technician B says that flickering vehicle lights can be caused by a loose electrical connection. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe right back-up lamp is dim: Technician A says that the back-up lamp switch may have high resistance. Technician B says that the back-up lamp fuse may have corroded terminals. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile checking for conditions that might cause coolant electrolysis: Technician A places the positive lead of a voltmeter into the coolant and connects the negative lead to a ground. Technician B checks for the presence of voltage in the coolant with the ignition off. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
