C. Low line pressure.
D. Limp-in mode.
D. Limp-in mode.
Which of the following affects a transmission's shift points in relation to vehicle
speed?
A. The throttle valve.
B. The governor.
C. Both of these.
D. Neither of these.

While testing the TCM of an electronic automatic transmission the technician
should use at least a:
A. 1 Megohm tester.
B. 5 Megohm tester.
C. 10 Megohm tester.
D. 20 Megohm tester.

An automatic transaxle slips only while turning corners. Which of the following
has caused this condition?
A. Worn Band
B. Torque Converter Clutch
C. Low Fluid Level
D. Planetary Gearset
C. Low Fluid Level
, Refer to the chart above. Which gear ratio best represents overdrive?
A. 4.027:1
B. 0.852:1
C. 3.064:1
D. None of these.
Answer B is correct. This ratio (0.852:1) represents overdrive

says this could be caused by a stuck servo. Who is correct?
A. Technician A
B. Technician B
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B
A. Technician A
An automatic transmission has a late delayed shift from first to second gear. All
other shift points are normal. The 1-2 shift valve is suspected of sticking in its
bore. Technician A says to clean the transmission valves and valve body to
remove tarnish and dry them with compressed air before placing them back into
service. Technician B says a slightly bent spool valve can be repaired and placed
back into service. Who is correct?
A. Technician A
B. Technician B
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A or B
A. Technician A
Technician A says to pressure test a transmission if an internal leak is suspected.
Technician B says pressure testing ports are located on the transmission case.
