ASE B6 Test - Damage Analysis & Estimating
Questions and Answers Complete
What is the difference between a unitized frame and a uni-body? - -There is
no difference. In a uni-body or unitized vehicle, the frame and body are
incorporated into a single welded structure.
-Should exhaust damaged systems be welded and repaired, or replaced all
together? - -Replaced. Exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide
and leaks could create dangerous conditions for passengers.
-The "Inside Out" sequence refers to... - -Calculating Labor times
-SAI refers to... - -An angle in the suspension system - the steering axis
inclination. This can be measured using wheel alignment equipment.
Incorrect SAI contributes to poor handling.
-Using a tram gauge an appraiser can easily detect a ________ condition. -
-"Sway". With a tram gauge, it is easy to take linear measurements, such as
point-to-point measurements across the front cage of a car.
-Appraiser A says all brake fluid should be drained and replaced when
replacing a caliper on the left front of a six-month old car. Appraiser B saya
all that is required is refilling the brake fluid and bleeding the system. Who is
right? A, B, Both A & B, Neither A or B? - -Appraiser B only. Although brake
fluid does become contaminated with moisture over time, this is not likely on
a 6 month old car.
-Clean up time in reference to salvage parts means to.... - -Remove the oil
and grease from the parts. The painting is a separate billable expense.
-Appraiser A says storage charges are calculated per day at the prevailing
market rate. Appraiser B says they are calculated at the shop's posted rate.
Who is right? A, B, A & B, neither A or B? - -Appraiser B only. The shop in
possession of the vehicle can charge whatever they want, although most
insurance companies will only pay for charges that correspond to reasonable
market prices.
-Appraiser A Says the factory E-coat corrosion protection must be replaced
anytime it is damaged in a collision. Appraiser B says the E-coat must be
restored to a level equivalent to that created at the factory. Who is right? A,
B, A & B, neither A or B? - -Both A & B. The factory E-coat must always be
replaced when damaged and it must be done to a level equivalent with the
factory work.
, -"Set up and measure" refers to what? - -The dollar allowance for the time a
technician needs to mount a vehicle on a repair system to measure length,
width from center-line and height from the datum plane.
-What are air conditioning components generally classified as? - -Mechanical
items. Mechanical operations are generally those bolted items inward of the
radiator.
-Would an alternator be classified as a "betterment" item? - -No. Betterment
applies to normal wear & tear items that a vehicle owner should expect to
replace in the life of a vehicle. Example: Battery, shocks, brake linings, tires,
etc.
-Would aftermarket paint sealant cause a problem with a vehicle warranty? -
-No. Example of things that could cause a problem with a vehicle warranty
are: repaired wiring harness, wire splicing, etc.
-A hybrid vehicles electric traction motors operate on... - -650 volts. While
some components may run on 12 volts, some Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries contain as much as 650 volts
-TTY (torque to yield) refers to... - -The strength of a fastener, its allowable
reuse and the fact that a fastener deforms upon application of torque. It is a
one time use fastener that is used on critical applications. When it is torqued,
the threads deform. locking it in to place.
-UPCR stands for... - -Uniform Procedures for Collision Repair (by I-CAR).
-To be considered "damaged", its _____ and _________ must be unequal with
that before the accident in terms of the way something looks and operates. -
-form and function.
-Another term often used to describe "damage" is____________. - -
Nonconformity.
-When checking beneath a vehicle, you divide the under-body into three
parts. What are those parts? - -Front, middle/center and rear.
-The centerline of a vehicle is.... - -an imaginary plane that divides the
vehicle in half from front to rear.
-When inspection a vehicle, the surface you are inspection it on should be
______, ____, and free of ________. - -Level, dry and free of debris. (level will
help determine structural damage, dry for leaks, etc).
