You must never bypass a load with this diagnostic tool.

What is a fused jumper wire.

200

The default position on a system that has lost all vacuum supply.

What is the defrost/floor vents.

200

This monitors the radiant heat load that might cause an increase of the in-vehicle temperature.

What is the Sun Load sensor.

200

This component is full of electrical potential even though there may not be a circuit connected.

A charged vehicle battery.

The resistance in a circuit can be measure using this specific meter. 

And the current can be measure using this specific meter.

What is an ohmmeter and an ammeter.

300

A dual A/C compressor has this percentage of the capacity driven electrically.

15%

This system type has all the incoming air flow through the evaporator first and then the heater core. 

What is the reheat system.

400

The technician diagnosing a system that will not hold the desired temperature set at the panel should do this first. (after verifying the concern)

What is check for DTCs and read the OEM information.

400

The DMM is hooked into the circuit in this manner to measure the voltage dropped across a component or corrosion.

What is parallel.

400

This is the abbreviation for electrically driven compressor oil.

What is POE.

500

During heavy acceleration a vehicle has sluggish performance when the A/C is on. This system is most likely at fault.

What is the engine load A/C cut-off system.
