counter weight's journals all ya need to kno
a piston should be put with the notification dot facing the front of the engine if they have one.
now your turn.
define open and closed loop?
what does a rectifier on an alternator do?
whats the difference between a strut and a shock absorber?
whats the difference between sliding and floating and fixed calipers?
what is a dtc and how does it come up?
what is ROM and whats on it?

Wow, someone posted saying all you needed to know about electricity was Ohm's law. Haha, that is the most unfounded statement. Try taking an electrical engineering class. That will give you a small taste of what you actually have to know about electricity to actually understand what goes on inside the ECU. You should at least know how to analyze a circuit using Kirchoff's Voltage and Current Laws.

boxcar, the rom is read only memory and it holds the vehicles working parameters meaning it has the info that say the car can only run this lean or this rich and if its outside of those parameters u get a cel, the ecm sees a voltage from 02, refers to the rom then rom tells ecu is good or not, then ecu will send dtc or not.

yeah thats all electric class that i didnt go to but he didint go into it as detailed as you....all we talked about was Ohms law and yeah thats basic not "Try taking an electrical engineering class." no....i wont try taking that class becuase it boring and im a automotive student i cant concentrate all my diagnosing on electrical problems

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, I am just being a smarty pants. We are studying complex power, capacitance, and impedance in my ECE class. We studied the Otto and Diesel cycles in my Thermodynamics class. Fun stuff, sike! You got to be pretty electrical minded these days. Most mechanical components are monitored by sensors and feedback devices.

ratings
sm- for 05 vehicles and down
sl- for 04 and down
sj- for 01 and down
sh- obsolete - not recommended for gasoline combustion engines-you can use it gardening tools but not for cars
you can sm for any vehicle from 1979-2005
you cannot use lower rating oils in newer vehicles
meaning you cannot use sl rating oil in an 05 cuz sm has more additives in the oil.

Crazea before they (your teachers) go into the speils about how ASE certs are the best damn thing in the world, let me tell you they''re not.....it s non-profit (supposedly) organization, htta makes up b/s tests that only test how well you can either remember **** for a 4 hour test, or how well you can study.....nothing hands on, thats what really counts. all ASE is, is afriggin badge on your shirt, and a paper in your toolchest.
^^^this steming from your 'professor' saying he is an ASE master mechanic. I know some guys at my job that have the master mechanic status and don't know how to dissassmble a caliper.

ive got 3 ase's, and i actually agree with shroomster. they are easy to get if you study, but they dont just show that, they show that you not only know how to remove and replace parts. it shows you understand how they work and how to diagnose them, its a huge part of car repair. and ase's are such a staple in this field for that reason, just as any other cert. is.
