Uploaded by Jacob

Skilled Trades ASE-G1 certification practice material focuses on automotive service knowledge through multiple-choice scenarios and short technical explanations. The questions cover continuously variable transaxles and CVT fluid requirements, causes of drum brake out-of-adjustment conditions, identifying the least likely source of wet carpet with offensive odor, and safe handling procedures for engine coolant and hose removal. Additional items address transmission shift linkage effects on starting and gear engagement, and prerequisites for installing inner tie rod end bellows on rack-and-pinion units.

Visit us at: [https://www.examsboost.com/test/ase-g1](https://www.examsboost.com/test/ase-g1) Latest Version: 6.0 Technician A says continuously variable transaxles (CVTs) have an internal drive belt to transmit power between two pulleys. Technician B says manufacturers of CVTs require additional viscosity improvers tobe added to the fluid at regular intervals. Who is correct? A. Both A and B B. Neither A nor B C. Technician A D. Technician B Answer: C Explanation: Technician A is correct because CVTs use a metal belt to transmit power between two variable diameter pulleys. The size of the pulleys varies to change the transmission input-to-output ratio. Many drivers with early CVTs had concerns about the lack of the customary up shifts felt on vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. This prompted manufacturers to program shift feel into the transmission control modules to give drivers the feel of up shifts. Technician B is incorrect because manufacturers have strict requirements for CVT fluids and prohibit aftermarket additives. Which of the following would be the MOST LIKELY cause for drum brakes to be out of adjustment? A. A misadjusted wheel cylinder B. A seized wheel cylinder C. An undersized brake drum inside diameter D. A seized star wheel adjuster Answer: D Explanation: Star wheel adjusters are a common self-adjusting mechanism used on drum brake systems. The star wheel is turned on threads by the automatic adjuster lever to automatically adjust the brake shoes closer to the brake drum. Self-adjustment takes place as the brake shoes wear. Star wheels tend to seize from rust and lack of lubrication and fail to maintain proper brake shoe adjustment. Wheel cylinders are not adjusted. Proper brake shoe adjustment allows for minimal wheel cylinder piston stroke during braking. A seized wheel cylinder would prevent drum brake operation and would not cause misadjusted brake shoes. An undersized brake drum inside diameter is not usually a concern Visit us at: [https://www.examsboost.com/test/ase-g1](https://www.examsboost.com/test/ase-g1) for vehicles arriving for service. The inner brake drum diameter increases as it wears. Technicians should use a brake drum micrometer to determine if the inner diameter of a brake drum exceeds the specification. A customer has a concern about wet carpet accompanied by an offensive odor on the passenger's side floor of a late model vehicle. Which of the following would be LEAST LIKELY to cause this customer concern? A. A restricted evaporator case drain B. A leaking heater core C. Rainwater entering the vehicle D. A leaking evaporator Answer: D Explanation: A leaking evaporator would not cause liquid to accumulate on the floor of the vehicle. If an evaporator leaks, gaseous refrigerant comes out and will not cause liquid to accumulate on the floor of the vehicle. Most heater cores are located on the passenger's side of the vehicle and are prone to leaking coolant on the floor of the vehicle. The coolant has a distinct odor and can also allow biological growth if left untreated. A restricted evaporator case drain will cause an overflow of condensation into the passenger compartment. Rainwater can enter the vehicle in a variety of ways. Some vehicles have issues with assembly, causing water leaks around the windshield or along seams in the body. Some water leaks develop as a result of a collision. Any accumulation of water in a passenger's compartment is likely to cause an offensive odor and can be a health hazard. Technician A says modern engine coolant is environmentally friendly and can be p

FAQs

For CVTs, which statement about belt and fluid additives is correct?

Technician A is correct: CVTs use a metal belt between variable-diameter pulleys. Technician B is incorrect because manufacturers have strict CVT fluid requirements and prohibit aftermarket additives.

What is the MOST likely cause of drum brakes being out of adjustment?

A seized star wheel adjuster is the most likely cause. Star wheel adjusters self-adjust as the shoes wear, but they can seize from rust or lack of lubrication and fail to maintain proper adjustment.

A customer reports wet carpet with an offensive odor on the passenger floor. Which option is LEAST likely to cause it?

A leaking evaporator is the least likely cause, because a leaking evaporator releases gaseous refrigerant rather than liquid that would pool on the floor.
