- Which of the following is not a true statement about lamp-out warning lights? The lamp-out warning module measures small changes in voltage levels. An electronic switch in the module completes a ground path for the indicator lights in the event of a bulb going out. A special resistance wire is used in multibulb systems. When a bulb burns out. the module senses the increased voltage drop and turns on the indicator lamp.arrow_forwardWhen the headlights are switched from low beam to high beam, all headlights go out: Technician A says that the problem may be a bad dimmer switch. Technician B says that the ignition switch may be bad. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that a sealed-beam headlight that is cracked should be replaced. Technician B says that cracking or breaking of the composite housing or lens does not prevent a halogen bulb from working. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- While troubleshooting a headlight problem: Technician A says that when one headlamp does not work, the problem may be a burned-out bulb or lamp. Technician B says that you should check for voltage at the bulb before replacing a bulb. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTrue or False? The headlights on many adaptive head light systems can swivel up to 5 degrees in the direction the vehicle is turning.arrow_forwardWhat is the function of the synchronizing lamps?arrow_forward
- What could be the problem when the vehicles dome light dims when a power seat is moved?arrow_forwardCircuits that can energize the high beams even if the headlight switch is off are known as circuits. flash-to-pass mercury dimmer retractablearrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a true statement about LED-based lights? LEDs achieve their full output in about 200 milliseconds. LEDs require a much smaller space so they are much less intrusive in the trunk. LEDs have a long operating life. LEDs provide a more precise contrast and signal pattern, thus attracting attention much more effectively.arrow_forward
