While discussing the MIL on OBD II systems:
Technician A says that the MIL will flash if the
PCM detects a fault that would damage the
catalytic converter. Technician B says that
whenever the PCM has detected a fault, it will
turn on the MIL. Who is correct?
a. Technician A
• Technician B
• Both A and B
• Neither A nor B
What affects the efficiency of a catalytic converter?
exhaust quality
air/fuel ratio
its temperature
fuel quality
Technician A says that the PCM illuminates the mil if a defective causes emission levels to exceed 2.5 times the emission standards for that model year vehicle. Technician B says that if a misfire condition threatens engine or catalyst damage, the PCM flashes the mil. Who is correct

- While discussing the proper way to test a catalytic converter: Technician A says that a pressure gauge can be inserted into the oxygen sensor bore and the backpressure caused by the converter measured. Technician B says that restrictions in the converter can be checked with a vacuum gauge while the engine is being quickly accelerated. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing automotive emissions: Technician A says that oxygen emissions are monitored because they are an indication of the completeness of the combustion process. Technician B says that the conditions for minimizing HC emissions are the same as those that cause high NOx emissions. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile checking the condition of a cars ATF: Technician A says that if the fluid has a dark brownish or blackish color and/or a burned odor, the fluid has been overheated. Technician B says that if the fluid has a milky color, this indicates that engine coolant has been leaking into the transrnissions cooler. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that an EGR valve that is stuck open can cause idle problems. Technician B says that a stuck closed EGR can increase HC emissions. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding the “Pre-Emission Inspection Check” Of a diesel powered vehicle that is subject to Opacity (Smoke Meter) testing is not true? The governor (if equipped), the exhaust system, and the emissions control devices must all be checked. The exhaust system must be checked for any missing sections which would prevent collection of a valid exhaust sample. Vehicles not meeting requirements cannot be inspected. This is not considered an inspection or rejection and no fee is to be charged. The governor, if originally equipped, must be checked for presence, connection, and operation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about carbondioxide is not true?a. CO2 levels are highest when the air-fuel ratiois slightly leaner than stoichiometric.b. The production of CO2 is directly related tothe amount of fuel consumed; therefore,more fuel-efficient engines produce less CO2c. To reduce CO2 levels in the exhaust, engineers are working hard to decrease fuel consumption to keep CO2low.d. The concern for CO2 emissions is one of theprimary reasons for the delayed use of alternative fuels for automobiles.arrow_forward
- True or False? Engine misfires can cause a catalytic converter to overheat.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about fuel trim is not true? a. A positive fuel trim value means that the PCM detects a lean mixture and is decreasing the pulse width to add more fuel to the mixture. b. Short-term fuel trim represents changes made immediately in response to HO2S signals. c. Long-term fuel trim represents changes made to set a new base pulse width. d. Long-term fuel trim responds to the trends of the short-term fuel trim.arrow_forwardExplain the steps involved in disconnecting a fuel line on a vehicle with: Multiport fuel injection (50 - 60 words) Gasoline Direct Iniection (30 - 40 words)arrow_forward
- While 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_forwardWhich of the following conditions can be revealed by fuel pressure readings? Faulty fuel pump Faulty fuel pressure regulator Restricted fuel delivery system All of the abovearrow_forwardWhile discussing SCR systems: Technician A says that they are used in place of a conventional catalytic converter to reduce NOx, CO, and HC. Technician B says that the most common reductant used is SCR systems is an ammonia-like substance called urea. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d.
