ASE Certification Practice Tests

1. A vehicle’s battery continues to discharge overnight. The vehicle was repaired, and a battery drain test was performed. The reading on the multimeter above indicates the parasitic drain. Which of the following is correct?

• A. This is acceptable.
• B. This indicates 35mA of current.
• C. This indicates 35A of current.
• D. Both A and B.

2. A vehicle has a starting problem. The battery has been checked and found to be fully charged and in good condition. A starter current draw test is performed to check the starter circuit. All of the following are true EXCEPT:

• A. An ammeter is used to test starter current draw.
• B. Do not crank the engine for more than 2 minutes.
• C. The battery voltage should measure at least 12.6 volts.
• D. Disable the fuel or ignition system.

3. The dome light in a vehicle flickers on and off with the switch in the ON position. The MOST likely cause of this problem is:

• C. A loose connection between the power source and the dome light.
• D. A burned dome bulb.

4. The passenger's window in the illustration above is inoperative. It is stuck in the up position. The driver's side window is good. Which of the following is MOST likely causing this condition?

• A. A faulty relay.
• B. An open circuit breaker.
• C. A faulty motor.
• D. A poor ground.

5. All of the following are true about the circuit in the diagram above EXCEPT.
