Answer A is wrong. A low refrigerant charge would effect A/C performance.

Answer B is wrong. A faulty control valve would effect the A/C performance.

Answer C is correct. A variable displacement compressor uses a control valve to alter system pressures. A cycling clutch orifice tube system has a pressure cycling switch on the low side of the system, often located on the accumulator.

Answer D is wrong. A weak compressor would result in poor A/C performance.

Answer A is wrong. . Both technicians are correct.

Answer B is wrong. . Both technicians are correct.

Answer C is correct. A relay is a device used to protect control devices like PCM's from the high current used to power devices like an A/C clutch or a radiator fan. A faulty A/C relay will leave an A/C compressors clutch inoperative.

Answer D is wrong. Both technicians are correct.

Answer B is wrong. The refrigerant flows from the bottom to the top.

Answer C is wrong. The refrigerant enters the evaporator core as a liquid.

Answer D is correct. The refrigerant converts from a liquid to a vapor because it boils as it receives heat from the cabin air. Refrigerant has a very low boiling point.

Answer A is wrong. A short in the motors power feed would result in little or no operation in all speeds.

Answer B is correct. The blower resisters lower speeds share the same power source and offer varying resistance while the high speed has no resistance and is on its own circuit.

Answer C is wrong. Technician B is correct.

Answer D is wrong. Technician B is correct.
