Which of the following maintains pressure in the cooling system?
radiator cap |
|
water pump |
|
water jacket |
|
thermostat |
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
What is the pimary advantage of using power brakes on a vehicle?
provides higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system |
|
utilizes battery power to assist in braking |
|
allows the use of antilock brakes |
|
requires less brake fluid to operate the braking system |
Power brakes multiply the force a driver applies to the brake pedal using a vacuum booster connected to the engine intake manifold. This provides for much higher hydraulic pressure in the braking system than could be generated by the driver alone. Antilock brakes (ABS) use speed sensors and adjust the brake pressure at each wheel to prevent skidding and allow the driver more steering control in slippery conditions.
The fuel injector is regulated by the __________ which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
transmission control module |
|
vehicle control module |
|
computer control module |
|
powertrain control module |
The fuel injector sprays fuel into the air stream that's being fed into the cylinder head via the intake valve. The timing and amount of fuel are regulated by the powertrain control module (PCM) which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
Which of the following transfers the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension?
transfer case |
|
control arms |
|
constant velocity (CV) joint |
|
springs |
Constant velocity (CV) joints are located at both ends of a half shaft and their purpose is to transfer the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension. The inner CV joint connects the shaft to the transmission and the outer CV joint connects the shaft to the wheel.
Which of the following is not part of an engine's cooling system?
air conditioner |
|
radiator |
|
thermostat |
|
coolant |
The purpose of an automobile engine's cooling system is to circulate coolant around the engine so it can absorb and dissipate heat. The water pump pumps coolant through the various components in the system and the radiator cools down coolant after it has heated up after passing through the engine. The thermostat controls the flow of coolant based on engine temperature while the cooling fan draws air through the radiator when the car isn't moving fast enough for unforced air to cool things down on its own.
