Tech A says if the low side pressure is higher than specs and the high side is higher than specs the vehicle has cooling problem. Tech B says if the low side pressure is higher than specs and the high side is higher than specs the vehicle is overcharged. A. A B. B C. Both D. Neither

Answer C is correct (what are some cooling problems? Restricted condenser/radiator) Malfunctioning cooling fans

If the coolant level is 50% and 50% water. The boiling point will increase this will increase the? A. Life B. Freezing point C. Pressure D. None

Answer C is correct. This would lower the freezing point

Tech A says if the low side pressure is higher than specs and the high side is lower than specs the vehicle has restriction. Tech b says if the low side pressure is lower than specs and the high side is lower than specs the vehicle has low coolant. A. A B. B C. Both D. Neither

Answer D is correct (if the low side is higher than specs and the high side is lower than specs 2 faults can cause this. 1 is compressor stuck at high displacement or Expansion device is stuck open.)

Answer D is correct these outputs from a logic board to command the HVAC door, the blower motor, the AC clutch, and the ECM to control temps of the passenger compartment

Two technicians are discussing electric cooling fans and air conditioning performance. Technician A says electric fans regulate refrigerant temperatures more precisely than belt driven fans do. Technician B says electric cooling fans are controlled by control modules that use temperature and pressure actuated sensors and switches. Who is correct?

BOTH TECH A AND TECH B. Electric fans offer more precise control than the conventional belt driven fans do. They're important for engine cooling, air conditioning and heater performance. These fans are controlled by a control module that uses pressure and temperature actuated sensors and switches.

The carpet is wet on the passenger's side of a vehicle. Technician A says this may be caused by a leaking heater core. Technician B says this could be caused by a clogged evaporator case drain tube. Who is correct?

Both technicians are correct

A gurgling sound is heard coming from inside the dashboard of a vehicle. Technician A says this is air trapped in the heater core. Technician B says this noise can be caused by a blown head gasket. Who is correct?

Both technicians are correct.

Technician A says evacuating an air conditioning system will remove air, debris, and moisture. Technician B says to evacuate the system any time it's been exposed to the atmosphere. Who is correct?

TECH B is correct. Always evacuate the system if it's been exposed to the atmosphere.
