9. All of these concerns can be diagnosed using the paper test except for a
A. burned valve.
B. cracked exhaust manifold.
C. bad spark plug wire in the ignition system.
D. faulty injector on a multiport engine.
10. A vehicle fails an HC emission test at idle and 2,500 rpm, and the engine has an acceleration stumble. The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) voltage is 0.1–0.3 volts on a scan tool, and the injector pulse width is high. No diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are found. When propane is directed into the air intake, HO2S voltage immediately increases and the injector pulse width decreases. The most likely cause of this problem is
A. a defective powertrain control module (PCM).
B. an opening in the O2 sensor signal wire.
C. a defective O2 sensor.
D. low fuel-pump pressure.
11. An engine you're servicing has electronically controlled cooling fans. Cooling fan 1 doesn't work but cooling fan 2 does. Which of the following could be the cause?
A. Short at circuit 339, pink/black wire
B. Open at ECM Terminal A9
C. Open at ECM Terminal A3
D. Short at circuit 67, light blue wire
12. The powertrain control module (PCM) or engine control module (ECM) will automatically clear a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) if there are no additional faults detected after
A. eighty warm-up cycles.
B. the criteria to clear codes is reached.
C. two consecutive trips.
D. five key-on/key-off cycles.
13. Technician A says that a new replacement part is always good. Technician B says that sometimes recent repair work will be the cause of a complaint. Who is correct?
A. Both Technicians A and B
B. Technician B
C. Technician A
D. Neither Technician A nor B
14. Technician A says that the last step in the diagnostic process is to verify the problem. Technician B says that the second step is to perform a thorough visual inspection. Who is correct?
A. Technician B
B. Neither Technician A nor B
C. Technician A
D. Both Technicians A and B
15. Technician A says that on-board self-diagnostics test mode procedures should be conducted on a cold engine. Technician B says that many diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) will monitor items only when the engine control system is in closed loop. Who is correct?
A. Neither Technician A nor B
B. Technician B
C. Both Technicians A and B
D. Technician A
16. Technician A says that when the malfunction indicator light (MIL) or service engine light is on, you should retrieve the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure. Technician B says that all OBD-II monitors must have the enable criteria achieved before a test is performed. Who is correct?
A. Technician A
B. Both Technicians A and B
C. Technician B
D. Neither Technician A nor B
17. What OBD-II term applies when all enabling standards for a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) are met?
A. Well-tuned engine
B. Warmed-up engine
C. Trip criteria
D. Freeze frame
18. An OBD-II vehicle fails an emission test with high CO and HC emissions. Technician A says that the cause may be low fuel pressure. Technician B says the cause may be a restricted return line on the fuel supply system. Who is correct?
A. Neither Technician A nor B
B. Both Technicians A and B
C. Technician B
D. Technician A
19. A U-type diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a problem with the
A. engine or transmission.
B. body.
C. network.
D. chassis.

A. Technician B
B. Technician A
C. Neither Technician A nor B
D. Both Technicians A and B
