Emissions
100

Blue colored smoke out of the tailpipe is an indicator this is being burned in the engine

Engine Oil

100

This is the standard amount of engine vacuum at idle

17-21 inches

100

The name of this component: 

Wheel Cylinder

100

Component used to reduce a vehicles body roll while going around a corner

Sway Bar/ Anti- Roll Bar

100

This component stores fuel vapor to be burned in the engine

Charcoal Canister

200

If this component fails, excessive external oil leaks and oil consumption can occur

PCV Valve

200

A positive fuel trim at idle that gets better when under load indicates this condition

Vacuum Leak

200

A spongey brake pedal is most often caused by this

Air in the brake hydraulic circuit

200

This calibration should be performed after every alignment on a vehicle with VSC

Steering Angle Sensor/ Zero Point Calibration

200

Excessive amounts of this gas in the exhaust indicate a lean engine condition

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

300

Excessive exhaust back pressure is most likely cause by this failure

Clogged Catalytic Converter

300

A restricted air filter will cause this fuel trim

Negative Fuel Trim (Rich Condition)
300

This component is responsible for opening and closing solenoids in the the brake hydraulic circuit during hard stopping maneuvers

ABS Actuator

300

This alignment angle is abbreviated as SAI

Steering Axis Inclination

300

This component is used to reduce the amount of NOx produced by an engine

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve (EGR)

400

A stuck closed exhaust valve will cause this compression reading

Higher than normal/ specification

400

If this component does not open, it will result in a "overboost" condition on a turbocharged car

Wastegate

400

This failure will cause this wheel speed sensor signal: 

Damaged Tone Wheel

400

This alignment angle is created by the rear toe

Thrust Angle

400

A vehicle that stalls immediately after the customer pumps gas is caused by this valve being stuck open

Purge Valve

500

This high performance engine oil lubrication system pulls oil directly from a reservoir and not the oil pan like a typical engine

Dry Sump Lubrication System


500

This type of fuel injection system calculates engine load without using a MAF sensor

Speed Density

500

This component limits brake pressure to the front wheels until enough force is applied to the brake pedal on some older models

Metering Valve

500

A vehicle has more positive caster on the driver side than the passenger side will pull in this direction

Right/ Towards Passenger Side

500

A completely flat line during a Key-Off EVAP system test is caused by this component not operating

EVAP System Vacuum Pump
