- 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_forwardWhen 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_forwardWhile diagnosing an HID lamp that does not turn on: Technician A says a smoky or blackened lamp may indicate the bulb is burned out. Technician B says before replacing a suspected bad ballast, check to make sure it is getting power and ground. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician 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_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_forwardWhen working on a high-voltage system, it is best to keep anyone who is not part of the service away from you and the car by creating a buffer zone around the car. Technician A makes sure the outside edges of the zone are at least one foot away from the car. Technician B places orange cones to define the outer boundaries of the zone. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about the SRS warning lamp is not true? When the ignition is first turned on, the indicator should turn on and remain on for approximately 6 seconds. If the system seems to be able to work correctly, the lamp will stay lit as the engine runs. If the lamp flashes or turns off and then turns on again, low source voltage may be indicated. A system problem is indicated when the lamp does not turn on when the ignition is initially turned on.arrow_forwardTrue or False? HID lamps produce more heat and white light than a halogen bulb.arrow_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
- While discussing voltage Technician A says that voltage is the force developed by the attraction of the electrons to protons. Technician B says that the force developed by the attraction of electrons to protons is called electromotive force and it is measured in volts. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A always wears safety glasses or goggles when working with batteries. Technician B says that there is no need to seek medical help if electrolyte gets in your eyes as long as you flush your eyes immediately after the electrolyte hits them. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A uses a testlight to detect resistance. Technician B uses a jumper wire to test circuit breakers, relays, and lights. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
