ASE G1 practice test

2. Two technicians are explaining radiator cap service . Technician A says a radiator cap is tested using a cooling system pressure tester . Technician B says when the radiator cap does not hold enough pressure , you can replace the cap gasket . Who is right ? a . A only b . B only c . Both A and B

a . A only Technician A is right because a defective radiator cap can cause low cooling system pressure ; it allows cooling system pressure to escape . Technician B is wrong because the only acceptable repair for a defective radiator pressure cap is replacement .

7. This question has the word EXCEPT . For this question , look for the choice that would NOT fit the described situation . Read the entire question carefully before choosing your answer . Close visual inspection of the power steering serpentine belt can reveal all the following , EXCEPT : a . Premature wear due to misalignment b . Proper belt tension . c . Correct orientation of dual belt application d . Proper belt seating in the pulley

b . Proper belt tension . You cannot see proper belt tension .

1. A tight timing belt makes what type of noise ? a . Thumping sound b . Whining sound c . Slapping sound d . Will not make noise

b . Whining sound When the cogs of the belt hit the cogs in the sprocket it is similar to the noise two gears make .

4. Technician A says the auxiliary automatic transmission oil cooler is a small radiator separate from the engine radiator . Technician B says that if the automatic transmission oil cooler lines are found to be leaking , they are first tightened to specifications . Who is right ? a . A only b . B only c . Both A and B d . Neither A nor B

c . Both A and B Both technicians are right . Technician A is correct because heavy duty applications will use an auxiliary automatic transmission oil cooler . Technician B is correct because the first step in a leaking fluid line fitting is to tighten it to specifications using a torque wrench . If there is still a leak , then the fitting is defective and needs repaired .

5. A RWD ( rear wheel drive ) transmission has a leaking output shaft seal on a vehicle with 25,000 miles on the odometer . The MOST likely cause for the leakage is : a . excessive bearing wear . b . naturally occurring evaporation . c . plugged transmission breather filter d . poor quality fluid filter

c . plugged transmission breather filter A plugged transmission breather filter causing excessive internal pressure is the most likely cause .

6. Of the following , when replacing a CV ( constant velocity ) joint or boot , what is the last step before clamping the boot ? a . Lubricate the CV joint with chassis grease b . Mark location of the boot on drive axle shaft c . Lubricate the CV joint and the boot d . Burp the air out of the boot

d . Burp the air out of the boot Before clamping the last seal on the boot , be sure to release trapped air to prevent the boot from expanding when heated and collapsing when cold ( This is sometimes called burping the boot ) . Clamp the boot according to the manufacturer's specifications . The final step in the process is reinstalling the drive axle shaft in reverse order of removal and torque the drive axle nut to factory specifications .

3. A vehicle with an electronically controlled automatic transmission is being road tested for poor shifting . What should be done before doing a road test ? a . Check wires and connectors disconnects b. Check for DTCS ( diagnostic trouble codes ) c . Hook up the scan tool to the DLC ( Data Link Connector ) d . Check transmission / transaxle fluid level

d . Check transmission / transaxle fluid level The automatic transmission fluid ( ATF ) must always be verified before a road test .
