When performing a coolant pressure test,
Technician A says to pressurize the system to
the pressure shown on the radiator cap.
Technician B says that the coolant should be
drained before performing the test. Who is
correct?
Select one:
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
On the low-pressure side of a double diaphragm seal system, the transmitter measures a pressure of 108 in. WC when the tank is empty. Which process should you apply before measuring on the high-pressure side?
Low water level cutoff
Ratholing
Zero suppression
Blowdown
1-While refilling an 8-quart (7.57 L) system with coolant: Technician A initially puts in 4 quarts (3.78 L) of straight coolant and tops it off with water. Technician B fills the system with the correct mixture, tightens the radiator cap, and then checks for leaks. Who is correct?
2-While 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?
3-Technician A says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, excessive pressure will develop in the crankcase and can cause oil leaks. Technician B says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, oil may be pushed into the air cleaner or cause it to be drawn into the intake manifold. Who is correct?
4-While bleeding air from a cooling system: Technician A loosens a heater hose at its highest…
