- When the headlights are switched from low beam to high beam, all headlights go out: Technician A says that the problem may be a bad dimmer switch. Technician B says that the ignition switch may be bad. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement about lamp-out warning lights? The lamp-out warning module measures small changes in voltage levels. An electronic switch in the module completes a ground path for the indicator lights in the event of a bulb going out. A special resistance wire is used in multibulb systems. When a bulb burns out. the module senses the increased voltage drop and turns on the indicator lamp.arrow_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_forward
- 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_forwardIn 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_forwardWhen used as a photovoltaic device, how much voltage is generally produced by a photodiode?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is false? The air bag igniter assembly is a spark plug-type device with two pins that current must jump across. The air bag igniter assembly creates a spark that ignites a canister of gas generating zerconic potassium perchlorate. The air bag igniter assembly is housed in the module assembly. None of the above.arrow_forwardWhile diagnosing the location of a wire-to-wire short: Technician A checks the wiring of the affected circuits for signs of burned insulation and melted conductors. Technician B checks common connectors shared by the two affected circuits. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardHow do most electronic ignition systems differ? number of spark plugs the use of CMP and CKP sensors number of transistors the use of a distributorarrow_forward
- While discussing spark plugs: Technician A says that too narrow of a spark plug gap can cause a rough idle and premature wear of the electrodes. Technician B says that a spark plug with the wrong reach can cause preignition. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTrue or False?
