Test question

A is correct guys
Honestly I don't like the question. And I agree with Andy and Ash03. They're confusing you with 'when the A/C is turned on'... and the lack of information we would normally ask our customer. Glad they don't have these ASE tests in Europe :lol:

ASE Question of the Month

This month in Motor Age, we focus on troubleshooting tips and techniques related to “loss of communications” concerns on a vehicle’s network(s). Let’s see how much you know about the CAN bus!

Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

CAN stands for Controller Area Network

CAN networks can be laid out in three distinct configurations: the ring, the star and the bus.

CAN A is the term used to reference a high speed CAN network

CAN B is a medium-speed CAN network that can operate from 33 kbps to 250 kbps.

This is no challenge for the pro's here!

I'll take 'CAN A is the term used to reference a high speed CAN network'. (I actually missed this post last week, my bad. :oops: )

No problem man, glad you answered And of course you're right. CAN A is low-speed.

That's the way just about all of the ASE questions are written. Very vague and more than one answer that could be correct, just one is more likely than the other. :huh:

That sucks man....seriously :whistle:

They should atleast give more info on the problem. I just dont understand how a person is suppose to answer such questions with so little info given.

Thats more like asking:
Customer says his car doesnt start.
Tech1 says its a dead battery.
Tech2 says the fuel pump is dead.
Tech3 says a faulty crank sensor.

All 3 could be correct, the person taking the test is not Moses to guess exactly what the problem is.

How does one even pass such tests? By guessing? Glad we dont have this non-sense test in South Africa either.

The way I approach each question is to eliminate the obvious incorrect choices and where there are more than one answer that could be correct, I choose the most likely (simplest) (dumbed down?) answer.

Check out this thread on a test question from a recent ASE test I took.

ASE Test question

These questions are terrible.. lol.

Does anybody have test question papers by any chance? It would be nice trying to figure out stuff in spare time.

Not any more, it's all online now. Even when it was written testing, they never let you leave with any actual testing materials, for obvious reasons.

Most of the questions are far more straightforward than these examples. Some are plainly obvious to anyone that's familiar with the systems being tested. Plus, there's more and more wiring diagram questions popping up, easy stuff for ScannerDanner followers.

Some of the test prep questions in Motor Age and Delmar study guides are halfway good. Useful for acquainting yourself with the Tech A-B format and such.

Ok. Another one. No Tech A or B Don't be shy to answer (shoutout to all our members....professionals, DIY, ..... no judgement here )

All the following could cause an engine with waste spark ignition to misfire EXCEPT:

A. low primary circuit resistance
B. faulty alternator
C. open plug wire
D. defective ignition control module

No takers?
A.

Crap, I read this one in an e-mail but didn't respond. I'll take B plz.

Thanks Noah and Tyler! Is everyone scared here to type one of the 4 letters?? :whistle: Or am I just boring the crap outta you guys :lol:
It's A or B......so one of you is right And by the way this is a question from your own book Tyler :woohoo:

Answer A is correct Noah

Too bad we don't have any Scanner Danner swag to give out for prizes!

Dylan wrote: Answer A is correct Noah

Crap, really? :ohmy: Wouldn't low primary resistance represent a shorted winding?

And by the way this is a question from your own book Tyler :woohoo:

:lol: That figures - which book was it? Did they happen to give an explanation?

I know! I feel like we could put together some awesome contests/competitions with some swag to work with.

Shoot, I was thinking primary wiring, not primary windings!
Must have been a Motorage ASE test prep book :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Sure

In order for a coil to generate sufficient secondary voltage, the primary circuit must provide a low-resistance path for current to flow. Only if the primary circuit had high resistance would it cause a misfire.

Well here's your answer Tyler :lol:

Did I happen to write any curses in the margins around that question? :lol:

Well here's your answer Tyler :lol:

Ouch, that's embarrassing. :blush:

Some of those practice test questions are, well... questionable.

Just a middle finger

Ouch, that's embarrassing. :blush:

Not at all man. I can't even solve have of these ASE prep questions :whistle:
