1. A 12 volt circuit feeds a single load that measures 3 ohms. How much current flows through the circuit?
- A. 0.25 amps
- B. 3 amps
- C. 4 amps
- D. 36 amps
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 4 amps
Ohm's law says current equals voltage divided by resistance, so 12 divided by 3 is 4 amps. Multiplying instead of dividing gives 36, and dividing the wrong way around gives 0.25, which are the two mistakes worth catching. Knowing the expected current also tells you whether a fuse rating and a wire size make sense for the circuit you are looking at.
2. Both front tires show a feathered, sawtooth edge across the tread. Which alignment angle is the most likely cause?
- A. Toe
- B. Camber
- C. Caster
- D. Steering axis inclination
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Toe
Toe is the difference between the front and rear of the tires as seen from above. When it is off, the tire is dragged sideways a little with every revolution, and that scrubbing carves one side of each tread block down into a feathered edge. Camber wears one shoulder of the tire smoothly instead. Caster and steering axis inclination affect steering effort, straight line stability and return to center rather than tread wear.
3. Complete the sentence.
In the diagnostic trouble code P0301, the letter _____ tells you the code belongs to the powertrain, and the last two digits tell you _____.
Alternativer for luke 1: B, C, P, U
Alternativer for luke 2: which cylinder is misfiring, how many drive cycles have passed, how long the code has been stored, which scan tool read the code
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: P, which cylinder is misfiring
The first character sorts the code by system: B for body, C for chassis, P for powertrain and U for network communication. The digit right after it says whether the definition is generic or manufacturer specific, and the last two digits identify the specific fault. In the misfire family that number is the cylinder, so P0301 is a cylinder 1 misfire and P0300 is a random or multiple cylinder misfire with no single cylinder singled out.
4. In an automotive air conditioning system, which component absorbs heat from the air going into the passenger compartment?
- A. The condenser
- B. The evaporator
- C. The receiver drier
- D. The compressor
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. The evaporator
Refrigerant enters the evaporator as a cold low pressure liquid and boils into a vapor. Changing state takes a lot of heat, and that heat comes out of the air blowing across the evaporator fins, which is what cools the cabin. The condenser at the front of the vehicle does the opposite job and dumps that heat to outside air, the compressor raises pressure and moves the refrigerant, and the receiver drier stores refrigerant and traps moisture.
5. What does a torque converter do that a simple fluid coupling cannot?
- A. It shifts the transmission between gear ranges
- B. It holds the vehicle stationary on a hill with no brake applied
- C. It filters and cools the transmission fluid
- D. It multiplies engine torque when the turbine is turning much slower than the impeller
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. It multiplies engine torque when the turbine is turning much slower than the impeller
A plain fluid coupling only passes torque along. A torque converter adds a stator between the turbine and the impeller, and the stator redirects fluid coming off the turbine so it hits the impeller in a helpful direction. That extra push multiplies torque, and the effect is largest at stall, when the turbine is barely moving. As turbine speed catches up to impeller speed the multiplication fades toward one to one, and a lockup clutch then ties the two together mechanically to remove the last of the slip.
6. How is a voltage drop test on a starter cable performed?
- A. With the cable disconnected at both ends and an ohmmeter reading end to end
- B. With the circuit operating and the meter connected across the cable, in parallel with it
- C. With the meter wired in series with the cable while the engine cranks
- D. With the battery disconnected and the meter set to the continuity position
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. With the circuit operating and the meter connected across the cable, in parallel with it
Voltage drop measures resistance where it matters, under real load. You leave the cable connected, crank the engine so current is flowing, and put the meter leads on the two ends of the cable. A low reading means the cable is passing current freely and a high reading means something in that path is fighting it. An ohmmeter cannot substitute, because it pushes only a tiny test current and a corroded connection that reads near zero ohms can still drop several volts at two hundred amps.
7. A vehicle with a manual transmission gains engine rpm when accelerating in high gear, but road speed barely changes. What is the most likely cause?
- A. A slipping clutch disc
- B. A clutch that is dragging and will not fully release
- C. A worn synchronizer in fourth gear
- D. A bent shift fork
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. A slipping clutch disc
Slipping and dragging are opposite faults and they give opposite symptoms. Slipping means the disc cannot hold the torque being asked of it, so engine speed runs away from road speed, and it shows up first in the highest gear and under load because that is where torque demand at the disc is greatest. Dragging means the disc does not fully let go when the pedal is down, and that shows up as grinding going into gear or as the vehicle creeping in gear at a stop.
8. A vehicle has a stored P0300 random misfire code. Which of the following are plausible causes worth checking?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. A large vacuum leak downstream of the mass airflow sensor
- B. A clogged cabin air filter
- C. Worn spark plugs across several cylinders
- D. Low fuel pressure from a weak fuel pump
- E. A burned out license plate lamp
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. A large vacuum leak downstream of the mass airflow sensor, C. Worn spark plugs across several cylinders, D. Low fuel pressure from a weak fuel pump
A random misfire points at something shared by all the cylinders rather than at one cylinder's parts. Unmetered air, tired plugs and low fuel pressure all lean out or weaken combustion everywhere at once, so all three belong on the check list. A cabin air filter only affects airflow to the passenger compartment and a lamp is a separate lighting circuit, so neither touches combustion. If the code had named one cylinder instead, the search would narrow to that cylinder's ignition, injector and compression.
9. Which of the following are wheel alignment angles measured on an alignment rack?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. Ring and pinion backlash
- B. Camber
- C. Wheel bearing preload
- D. Caster
- E. Toe
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Camber, D. Caster, E. Toe
Camber, caster and toe are the three primary alignment angles. Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel seen from the front, caster is the forward or rearward tilt of the steering axis seen from the side, and toe is how much the wheels point in or out seen from above. Backlash and bearing preload are drivetrain and hub measurements. Of the three angles, toe is the one that destroys tires fastest, so it is checked and set last after camber and caster are correct.
10. Coming down a long grade a driver uses the brakes continuously. The pedal still feels firm, but the vehicle slows far less than normal. What is happening?
- A. The pedal linkage has stretched
- B. The tires have lost air pressure
- C. The parking brake has released itself
- D. The friction material has overheated and lost friction
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. The friction material has overheated and lost friction
A brake system works by turning the vehicle's motion into heat at the friction surfaces. Held on for long enough, those surfaces get hotter than the material was designed for and its coefficient of friction falls, so the same pedal effort produces less stopping. That is brake fade, and the pedal staying firm is the clue that it is a friction and heat problem rather than something in the hydraulic side. The fix on the road is to select a lower gear so the engine does most of the slowing and the brakes get a chance to cool.
11. Complete the sentence.
The three members of a simple planetary gearset are the sun gear, the ring gear and the _____, which holds the _____.
Alternativer for luke 1: carrier, synchronizer, stator, valve body
Alternativer for luke 2: clutch discs, band anchors, pinion gears, thrust washers
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: carrier, pinion gears
A planetary gearset gives several ratios from one set of gears because you can choose which member is driven, which is held still and which drives the output. Hold the ring gear and drive the sun gear and the carrier turns slowly, which is a reduction. Drive the carrier and take output from the ring gear and you get overdrive. Lock any two members together and the whole set turns as a unit, which is direct drive. The clutches and bands in the transmission are what make those choices.
12. Which statements about a series circuit are correct?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. Each branch sees the full source voltage
- B. The current is the same at every point in the circuit
- C. Total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances
- D. The individual voltage drops add up to source voltage
- E. If one component opens, the rest keep working
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. The current is the same at every point in the circuit, C. Total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, D. The individual voltage drops add up to source voltage
A series circuit gives current only one path, so the same current passes through every component, resistances add, and the voltage drops across them add back up to source voltage. Because there is one path, an open anywhere stops the whole circuit. The other two statements describe a parallel circuit, where each branch gets full voltage and the remaining branches keep working when one opens. Unwanted resistance in a series path is exactly what a voltage drop test finds.
13. Complete the sentence.
A worn clutch release bearing usually makes noise while the _____, and a worn _____ bearing makes noise with the pedal fully down, the transmission in gear and the vehicle stopped.
Alternativer for luke 1: clutch pedal is being pressed, vehicle coasts with the pedal up, engine idles in neutral with the pedal up, key is off
Alternativer for luke 2: wheel, pilot, camshaft, output shaft
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: clutch pedal is being pressed, pilot
Both noises are diagnosed by when they appear. The release bearing only gets loaded and spun against the pressure plate fingers when the pedal moves it forward, so it complains while the pedal is down and goes quiet when you lift your foot. The pilot bearing sits between the crankshaft and the input shaft and only turns when those two spin at different speeds, which is exactly the condition you create by holding the pedal down in gear at a standstill. Noticing which pedal position brings the noise saves pulling a transmission to find out.
14. What is the job of the oxygen sensor mounted after the catalytic converter?
- A. To set the base fuel injection amount
- B. To measure exhaust backpressure
- C. To monitor how well the converter is working
- D. To switch the fuel pump relay on and off
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. To monitor how well the converter is working
The upstream sensor swings rich and lean constantly and the engine computer uses those swings to trim fuel in closed loop. The downstream sensor should look much calmer, because a healthy converter stores and releases oxygen and smooths the changes out. When the downstream signal starts to mirror the upstream one, the computer decides the converter is no longer doing its job and sets an efficiency code. Note that misfires and a rich condition can kill a converter, so a converter code is often a symptom of something else rather than the whole story.
15. In a four stroke engine, which is the correct order of the strokes?
- A. Compression, intake, power, exhaust
- B. Intake, compression, power, exhaust
- C. Intake, power, compression, exhaust
- D. Exhaust, intake, power, compression
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Intake, compression, power, exhaust
Intake draws the air and fuel charge in, compression squeezes it with both valves closed, the power stroke is the only one that drives the crankshaft, and exhaust pushes the burned gases out. The whole cycle takes two crankshaft revolutions, and since each valve opens once per cycle the camshaft turns at half crankshaft speed. That two to one relationship is why cam timing has to be set with the crank at a known position.
Slik er ASE-prøvene for personbil satt sammen
ASE står for National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, en uavhengig ideell organisasjon i USA som sertifiserer bilmekanikere. Det finnes ingen enkelt ASE-prøve. Personbillinja er A-serien, og hvert område er sin egen prøve som du melder deg på og tar for seg: A1 motorreparasjon, A2 automatgir og transaksel, A3 manuelt drivverk og aksler, A4 understell og styring, A5 bremser, A6 elektriske og elektroniske systemer, A7 varme og klimaanlegg, og A8 motorytelse. Består du alle åtte, har du status som Master Automobile Technician.
Over A-serien ligger L1, prøven Advanced Engine Performance Specialist. L1 er ikke et niende grunnområde. Den forutsetter at du allerede kan stoffet i A8, og ber deg så jobbe deg gjennom avansert diagnose av kjøreegenskaper og utslipp, inkludert et sammensatt referansekjøretøy som prøven gir deg, slik at alle resonnerer ut fra det samme systemet framfor ut fra ett merke de tilfeldigvis kan.
To ting til former prosessen. Sertifisering krever også praktisk arbeidserfaring, som regel to år, og relevant kurs eller skolegang kan erstatte deler av det, så du kan bestå en prøve før sertifikatet utstedes, og det utstedes når erfaringen er registrert. Og sertifiseringen varer ikke evig. Den utløper, og du tar prøven på nytt for å holde den gyldig. Antall spørsmål, tidsgrensen, gjeldende gebyr, grensen for bestått og de nøyaktige kravene til erfaring og resertifisering kommer alle fra ASE, så sjekk nettsidene deres eller ditt eget påmeldingsmateriale framfor en tredjepartsside, denne inkludert.
Slik bruker du smakebiten
Disse 15 spørsmålene er spredt over A-serien framfor samlet i ett område, for denne siden er startpunktet. Bruk bommene dine til å velge hvilken enkeltprøve du skal gå løs på først. Gikk elektrospørsmålene dårlig mens girkassespørsmålene gikk fint, forteller det deg hvor den neste måneden med lesing hører hjemme. To søskensmakebiter lenket under går i dybden på ett område hver, A1 motorreparasjon og A5 bremser, så ta dem når du vet hvor du står.
De ekte prøvene lener seg på diagnose framfor pugg. De beskriver et symptom, gir deg en måling eller en kundeklage, og spør hva det peker mot eller hva du bør sjekke videre. Mange oppgaver bruker også formatet der tekniker A sier én ting, tekniker B sier noe annet, og du avgjør om den ene, begge eller ingen har rett. Det formatet straffer skumlesing, for begge påstandene kan være sanne hver for seg mens bare den ene svarer på spørsmålet som ble stilt. Spørsmålene her er skrevet enkelt så du kan konsentrere deg om innholdet, men øv på formuleringen med tekniker A og B før prøvedagen, så den ikke bremser deg.
Ta smakebiten i én økt uten notater, og les så forklaringen til hvert spørsmål, også de du fikk riktig. Behandle et galt svar som et tema og ikke som et faktum. Å gjette riktig og å forstå er ikke det samme, og prøvene er lange nok til at heldige gjetninger jevner seg ut.
