2. There is a whinning noise coming from
the front of the transmission that increases
with engine speed. This noise is present in all
gears including park and neutral.
The most likely cause of this is the:

with engine speed. This noise is present in all
gears including park and neutral.
The most likely cause of this is the:
| 3. An excessive clunk is felt when putting an Automatic Transaxle into gear. Technician A says this could be excessive deflection in the Final Drive Chain. Technician B says this could be the U-joints. Who's correct? |
4. Technician A says the ECT (engine
coolant temperature) sensor is for the engine
and has nothing to do with transmission shift
control. Technician B says the MAF (mass air
flow) sensor provides information about
engine load to the TCM (transmission control
module) and is important for TCM shift control.

5. Technician A says light brown
transmission fluid is caused by heat and
oxidation. Technician B says screen type filter
must be discarded and replaced. Who's

Correct?
6. Two Technicians are discussing shift feel.
Technician A says a problem with the
accumulator will create hard shifting.
Technician B says a restricted orifice/check
ball restricts the amount of fluid flow providing
a smoother shift feel. Who's correct?

7. Technician A says that a shift solenoid is a
hydraulically controlled device used by the
transmission for shift control. Technician B
says the wires in the bus system are twisted
to prevent RFI. Who's correct?

8. Technician A says relays are devices that
use low current to control high current.
Technician B says resisters are used to limit
current flow in devices. Who's correct?

9. Technician A says that the VSS senses the
rotation of the input shaft of an automatic
transmission. Technician B says that the
parking pawl engages the input shaft to lock
an automatic transmission.

10. Technician A says a TP (Throttle Position)
sensor can effect an automatic transmissions
pressure and shift schedule. Technician B
says a TP sensor is a potentiometer and
varies resistance as the throttle plate angle
changes. Who's correct?
