ASE B6 Test - Damage Analysis & Estimating
Exam Questions With Correct Answers
What |is |the |difference |between |a |unitized |frame |and |a |uni-body? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
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? |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Replaced. |Exhaust |gases |contain |poisonous |carbon |monoxide |and |leaks
|could |create |dangerous |conditions |for |passengers.
The |"Inside |Out" |sequence |refers |to... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Calculating |Labor |times
SAI |refers |to... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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. |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-"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? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-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.... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-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? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Mechanical |items. |Mechanical |operations |are |generally |those |bolted |items |inward |of |the |
radiator.
Would |an |alternator |be |classified |as |a |"betterment" |item? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-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... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-form |and
|function.
Another |term |often |used |to |describe |"damage" |is____________. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Nonconformity.
When |checking |beneath |a |vehicle, |you |divide |the |under-body |into |three |parts. |What |are |those
|parts? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Front, |middle/center |and |rear.
The |centerline |of |a |vehicle |is.... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-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 |________. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Level, |dry |and |free |of |debris. |(level |will |help |
determine |structural |damage, |dry |for |leaks, |etc).
Generally, |these |two |types |of |vehicles |are |NOT |great |candidates |for |repairable |vehicles: |- |
CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Flood |vehicles |and |vehicles |that |have |had |fires. |Also, |vehicles |that |have
|had |major |driveline |damage |(engine |or |transmission |crushed).
