Evacuating a refrigerant system removes:
Moisture from the system.
Rust from the system.
Dirt from the system.
Desiccant particles from the system.
Any of these statements about cooling system service are true EXCEPT:
When the cooling system pressure is increased, the boiling point is decreased.
If more antifreeze is added to the coolant, the boiling point is increased.
A good-quality ethylene glycol antifreeze contains antirust and corrosion inhibitors
Coolant solutions must be recovered, recycled, or handled as hazardous waste.
Hybrid vehicles can have any of these HVAC system characteristics EXCEPT:
A vacuum controlled blend air door.
An electric A/C compressor.
A PTC heater core.
Orange high voltage wires under the hood.
Any of these examples are possible methods for a technician to retrieve trouble codes from a vehicle HVAC system EXCEPT?
Connect a scan tool to the vehicle data link connector (DLC) to communicate with the HVAC system.
Connect a scan tool directly to the HVAC control module to communicate with the HVAC system.
Depressing buttons on the HVAC control head and watching a flashing indicator.
Depressing buttons on the HVAC control head and reading the code on the electronic display.
Any of these statements are true about using the tool shown in the figure to remove an orifice tube assembly EXCEPT:
Pour a small amount of refrigerant oil on top of the orifice tube to lubricate the O-rings.
Rotate the T-handle to engage the notch in the tool in the orifice tube tangs.
Rotate the T-handle to remove the orifice tube from the evaporator inlet pipe.
Hold the T-handle and rotate the outer sleeve on the tool to remove the orifice tube.
To charge an A/C system while it is running, the refrigerant should be added to:
The high side.
The low side.
Both the high and low sides.
Either the high or the low side.
Frost is forming on one of the condenser tubes near the bottom of the condenser. This problem could be caused by:
Restricted airflow passages in the condenser.
A refrigerant leak in the condenser.
A restricted refrigerant passage in the condenser.
A restricted fixed orifice tube.
Which of these is LEAST LIKELY to be performed when replacing the HVAC control panel on a manual climate control system of a late model vehicle?
Removal of the trim bezels around the control head
Disconnection of the vacuum hoses from all of the mode actuators
Carefully touching a metallic surface on the vehicle before disconnecting the main harness
Disconnection of the vehicle battery
Any of these statements about refrigerant lines are true EXCEPT:
Suction lines are located between the outlet side of the evaporator and the inlet side or suction side of the compressor.
Suction lines carry the low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant vapor to the compressor where it again is recycled through the system.
Suction lines can be distinguished from the discharge lines by touch; they are hot to the touch.
The suction line is larger in diameter than the liquid line because refrigerant in a vapor state takes up more room than refrigerant in a liquid state.
A stuck-open engine cooling system thermostat could cause any of these symptoms EXCEPT:
Poor heater operation.
Below-normal engine operating temperature.
Increased fuel consumption.
Engine overheating.
Which of these procedures is LEAST LIKELY to be done during an electric A/C compressor replacement on a hybrid vehicle?

The defroster door control rod.
Cabin air filters remove dust and pollen from the:
Recirculated air.
Outside air.
All A/C air sources.

In the figure, the blower motor will not run at any speed setting. When the fan speed control on the A/C controls is changed from off to low speed, there is voltage at terminal D2 on the heater/AC programmer. The cause of this problem could be:
A defective blower motor.
A blown 40A fuse, number 4.
A defective HVAC power module.
An open circuit at programmer terminal D2.
The gauge pressures shown in the figure occur on an R-12, thermal expansion valve (TXV), cycling clutch air-conditioning (A/C) system with an ambient temperature of 80°F (26.7°C). The cause of these readings could be:

The refrigerant system is leaking.
There is excessive moisture in the refrigerant system.
In the electric cooling fan circuit shown in the figure, the low-speed and high-speed fans do not operate when the engine is overheated. Both fans will run when the air conditioning is turned on. The cause of this problem could be:
