A A leaking fuel injector.

B A faulty fuel pressure regulator.

C A faulty ECT engine coolant temperature sensor.

D A stuck closed thermostat.

16.   Technician A says a stuck open PCV valve will cause a lean fuel condition. Technician B says the PCV system removes blowby gases from the crankcase. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both Technician A and B

12.   Technician A says the heater circuit in an oxygen sensor is designed to bring the sensor to operating temperature sooner. Technician B says the engine control module uses the oxygen sensors voltage signal to adjust fuel trim in closed loop. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both Technician A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

17.   Technician A says the crankshaft position sensor monitors the crankshafts speed and rotation. Technician B says a permanent magnet sensor has three wires. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both Technician A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

13.   Two technicians are discussing a turbocharged engine. Technician A says the wastegate is a component used to control boost pressure. Technician B says when opened the wastegate diverts exhaust gas from the turbine wheel. Who is correct?

A Technician A

B Technician B

C Both Technician A and B

D Neither Technician A or B

18.   Technician A says a defective evaporative purge valve may cause a rich air fuel ratio. Technician B says an evaporative pressure sensor is used to notify the PCM of gas tank pressure. Who is correct?
