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

- 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 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_forwardThe 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?
