Which of the following statements about PTC heaters is not true?
Some vehicles have a PTC heating element in the heater core.
Some vehicles have a PTC element installed in an air duct from the blower housing to increase the air temperature in the ducts.
PTC heaters are electronically controlled and work with the cooling system to provide hot coolant.
PTC elements are small ceramic stones that react quickly to changes in current.
The A/C compressor cycles rapidly, and air coming from the vents is only slightly cool. Technician A says the problem could be a low refrigerant charge. Technician B says the problem could be a defective thermostatic switch. Who is right?

- 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_forwardThe coolant temperature gauge stays low (cold) after die engine has been started and ran until the engine is hot Technician A says that the wires to the sending unit may be shorted together.
