What are the four main components to an ABS system? |
There are four main components to an ABS system - Speed sensors, pump, valves & controller. The ¬speed sensors detects when a wheel is about to lock up. The speed sensors, which are located at each wheel, or in some cases in the differential, provide this information. There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has three positions - in position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake. In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder. This prevents the pressure from rising further should the driver push the brake pedal harder. In position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from the brake. Since the valve is able to release pressure from the brakes, there has to be some way to put that pressure back. That is what the pump does; when a valve reduces the pressure in a line, the pump is there to get the pressure back up. The controller is a computer in the car. It watches the speed sensors and controls the valves. |

|
What two main components make up the rack-and-pinion steering system?
|
The rack-and-pinion and power steering pump i
Explanation: A rack-and-pinion system is comprised of two main components: the rack-and-pinion itself and a power steering pump. Situated perpendicular behind the wheels of the vehicle, the rack-and-pinion is generally a piece of metal tubing that is roughly three inches in diameter and three feet in length. Inside the tube, there is a flat piece of metal that has been cut to include teeth on its top. In the center of the rack-and-pinion is a round seal that seals either side of the rack, one at a time. In these systems, two high-pressure hoses from the steering mechanism are connected to both sides of the center seal. One directs high-pressure hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump to the steering mechanism, while the other allows fluid to flow back to the pump. When the steering wheel is turned left or right, the steering mechanism allows the hydraulic fluid to pass to that side of the rack. It is the pressure that gives the vehicle power an assist by pushing the seal and rack in one direction or the other. |

The gas pedal in an automobile is connected to:
|
The throttle valve is correct. Explanation: The gas pedal is connected to the throttle valve, the valve that regulates how much air enters the engine. So the gas pedal is really the air pedal. When one steps on the gas pedal, the throttle valve opens up more, letting in more air. The engine control unit (ECU, the computer that controls all of the electronic components on the engine) "sees" the throttle valve open and increases the fuel rate in anticipation of more air entering the engine. It is important to increase the fuel rate as soon as the throttle valve opens; otherwise, when the gas pedal is first pressed, there may be a hesitation as some air reaches the cylinders without enough fuel. |

|
Which of the following is not possible if the head gasket fails? |
Spark plugs will misfire preventing the car from running . Explanation: If a head gasket fails, combustion gases could leak into the coolant passages causing excessive pressure in the cooling system. Another possible problem could be coolant could leak into the combustion chamber causing coolant to escape through the exhaust system, often causing a white cloud of smoke at the tailpipe. Or, oil mixing with the coolant or being burned out the exhaust can occur. What is not possible is the spark plugs to misfire thus stopping the car from running. |

An automobiles manifold connects to what part of the engine?
|
Exhaust system Explanation: An exhaust manifold is a system which is used to vent exhaust gases away from an engine. The manifold extends from the cylinders to the exhaust pipe, collecting and moving exhaust away from the engine. Exhaust can be harmful to inhale, making it very important to have a fully functional exhaust manifold; because it can sometimes be difficult to detect an exhaust leak, people may inhale exhaust gases without being aware of it. When the pistons in the engine reach the exhaust stroke, they push the exhaust fumes up into the exhaust manifold. The manifold consists of a series of pipes which connect to the cylinders and then consolidate in a central large pipe which vents to the exhaust pipe. A series of gaskets are used to create tight seals so that exhaust cannot escape from the cylinders. |

What are the four main components to an ABS system?
|
: Speed sensor, pump, value and controller is Explanation: There are four main components to an ABS system - Speed sensors, pump, valves & controller. The ¬speed sensors detects when a wheel is about to lock up. The speed sensors, which are located at each wheel, or in some cases in the differential, provide this information. There is a valve in the brake line of each brake controlled by the ABS. On some systems, the valve has three positions - in position one, the valve is open; pressure from the master cylinder is passed right through to the brake. In position two, the valve blocks the line, isolating that brake from the master cylinder. This prevents the pressure from rising further should the driver push the brake pedal harder. In position three, the valve releases some of the pressure from the brake. Since the valve is able to release pressure from the brakes, there has to be some way to put that pressure back. That is what the pump does; when a valve reduces the pressure in a line, the pump is there to get the pressure back up. The controller is a computer in the car. It watches the speed sensors and controls the valves. |

|
A cracked motor block will be indicated by:
|
Leaking engine coolant
Explanation: There are ways to identify a crack in the engine block. Look for leaking engine coolant, most notably as it drains out the bottom of a car. This is a telltale sign of a cracked engine block, and in time, can cause an engine to overheat. Look for extra smoke coming out of an automobile's exhaust pipe. While a certain amount is common, extra amounts--long trails coming out of an exhaust pipe--could signify a cracked engine block. Lastly, check to see if a car radiator's mixture of engine coolant and water is optimal. This should be half water, half antifreeze. If the mixture is not proper, this can cause the mixture to freeze, which will crack the engine block. |

Explanation: The mechanism that runs the power windows is extremely basic. The whole arrangement is based on linking one gear with another to produce the maximum torque required. Linkage is the most basic mechanism that uses rods or pivots to transmit power. All types of cars, both with or without power windows, use this mechanism to lift the glass window while keeping it level. This is the most important part of the lifting mechanism. This linkage is attached to a long bar with the help of an arm. One end of the arm is attached to the bottom of the window, which facilitates the lifting of the window. The other end of the arm is connected to a plate which has evenly placed gear teeth cut into it. A gear is attached to this plate which moves with the help of a motor. Thus when we press the switch the motor activates and moves the window up or down accordingly. |
