Chapter 20, Problem 10CQ
A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0. 8 volt was measured with the engine running and all electrical accessories turned on. Technician A says that the coolant should be flushed to solve the galvanic activity. Technician B says that the ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired to solve the electrolysis problem. Which technician is correct?
- a. Technician A only
- b. Technician B only
- c. Both Technicians A and B
- d. Neither Technician A nor B

- While discussing the future use of CO2 as a refrigerant: Technician A says that CO2 is nontoxic and presents little threat to the environment. Technician B says that only slight changes from conventional systems will be required because CO2 systems operate at low pressures and temperatures. Who is correct? Technician A only Technician B only Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile 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? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe high-side pressure on a system with a cycling clutch and pressure cycling switch is 145 psi, the low-side pressure is 28 psi, and the ambient temperature is 78F. What do these gauge readings indicate? a. The system is undercharged. b. The system is overcharged. c. The system is normal. d. The evaporator pressure regulator is bad.arrow_forward
- While discussing the operation of air-conditioning systems: Technician A says that in order for the refrigerant to release heat, it must be at a low temperature and pressure. Technician B says that in order for the refrigerant to absorb heat, it must be at a high temperature and pressure. 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 thermostats? Faulty thermostats are often the cause of air pockets in the coolant passages. They can also cause an increase in fuel consumption and poor engine performance. If the thermostat is stuck open, the coolant may not reach the desired temperature because it is cooled before it gets hot If a thermostat is stuck closed, coolant will not flow between the engine and radiator and the engine will quickly overheatarrow_forwardAn engine overheats in traffic but is fine when driving: Technician A says a faulty thermostat may be the cause. Technician B says the fan clutch could be the cause. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- When discussing the diagnosis of a positive back pressure EGR valve: Technician A says that with the engine running at idle speed, if a hand pump is used to supply vacuum to the EGR valve, the valve should open at 12 in. Hg of vacuum. Technician B says that with the engine not running, any vacuum supplied to the EGR valve should be bled off and the valves diaphragm should not move. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardThe high-side pressure on a system with a cycling clutch and pressure cycling switch is 245 psi, the low- side pressure is 28 psi, and the ambient temperature is 78°F. What do these gauge readings indicate? The system is undercharged. The system is overcharged. The system is normal. The evaporator pressure regulator is bad.arrow_forwardIn an AZC system, if the low-side pressure is lower than normal, which of the following is the least likely cause? A faulty metering device Poor airflow across the evaporator A restriction in the low side of the system The system being overcharged with refrigerantarrow_forward
- While discussing an inoperative blend air door: Technician A says that to check the proper functioning of the ductwork, move the temperature control lever to see if any change at the doors occurs. If it does not, shut off the air conditioner and turn on the heater. Move the temperature control arm again to see if any change occurs. If not, check the cable and the flap door connected to the temperature control lever. Technician B says that in some cases you can reach under the dash to reconnect the cable or free a stuck flap.
