4. All vehicles with ABS have a sensor at every wheel

Definition
4. All vehicles with ABS have a sensor at every wheel.
Term
Two technicians are discussing air gap measurements. Technician A says that non-magnetic feeler gauges should never be used. Technician B says that measurements should be made with a tooth of the ring aligned with the center of the sensor. Who is correct?
Definition

Which of the following statements about measuring shaft diameter and wear is NOT correct?

 

1. Measurements only need to be made in one location

2. Noise does not accurately determine wear

3. Micrometers can be USC or metric

4. Even if a shop does not overhaul motors, measurements may need to be made

Definition
1. Measurements only need to be made in one location.
Term
Two technicians are discussing measuring bearing journals. Technician A says that measurements should be made on a machined area only. Technician B says that unmachined areas are typically measured. Who is correct?
Definition
A only
Term
Two technicians are discussing journal measurements. Technician A says that two measurements are not necessary. Technician B says an out-of-round journal will not affect bearing life. Who is correct?
Definition
A only
Term
Two technicians are discussing bore measurements. Technician A says that bores can be measured at the top with an outside micrometer. Technician B says that bores must be measured from the inside with a telescoping gauge. Who is correct?
Definition
B only
Term

Which of the following statements about bore measurements is NOT correct?

 

1. Select a telescoping gauge that reaches across from cylinder wall to cylinder wall

2. Release the spindles of the telescoping gauge and when the gauge is properly positioned, lock the spindles to maintain measurement and remove the gauge

3. Any micrometer can be used to measure bores, regardless of size

4. Measure the telescoping gauge with the micrometer

Definition
2. Release the spindles of the telescoping gauge and when the gauge is properly positioned, lock the spindles to maintain measurement and remove the gauge.
Term
Two technicians are discussing measuring bores with inside micrometers. Technician A says that extension spindles allow the measurement of cylinder bores. Technician B says that once the micrometer is inserted into the bore and extended, it should be tightened and removed. Who is correct?
Definition
Both A and B
Term
Two technicians are discussing runout. Technician A says that runout won’t affect vehicle operation. Technician B says that runout can cause severe vibration. Who is correct?
Definition
B only
Term

Which of the following statements about measuring runout is NOT correct?

2. The rotor must be held in place with at least two lug nuts to accurately measure runout

3. Preload the plunger on the dial indicator approximately half way

4. Runout is measured with a dial indicator

Definition
1. Do not turn the rotor while measuring runout.
Term
