Sample E2 questions

Straight from the bank — answers highlighted, with the explanation underneath.

When performing a voltage-drop test on an ambulance 12V circuit, the test must be conducted while the circuit is in what condition?

  1. Energized and carrying its normal operating current
  2. Open and completely de-energized
  3. Disconnected from the battery at both ends
  4. Fused-protected but with the load switch turned off
WhyVoltage drop from unwanted resistance (corrosion, loose terminals, undersized cable) only appears when current is flowing; an open or de-energized circuit reads little or no drop even with a bad connection. The test is performed with the load operating.

Two technicians are discussing an ambulance high-idle (fast-idle) system. Technician A says the system automatically raises engine RPM when the ambulance is parked so the alternator can maintain output for the electrical load. Technician B says the system is typically interlocked to engage only when the transmission is in park or neutral and the parking brake is set. Who is correct?

  1. Technician A only
  2. Technician B only
  3. Both Technicians A and B
  4. Neither Technician
WhyHigh idle boosts alternator output during prolonged stationary operation when large loads would outpace charging at curb idle, and safety interlocks (park/neutral plus parking brake) prevent it from raising RPM while the vehicle could move. Both statements are correct.

All of the following are correct practices for charging-circuit voltage-drop testing EXCEPT:

  1. Perform the test with current flowing under load
  2. Place one meter lead at each end of the cable or connection being tested
  3. A higher-than-specification reading indicates high resistance
  4. A reading of 0 V under load always means the cable is defective
WhyA 0 V reading under load means the cable/connection has negligible resistance — a good result, not a defect. The other three statements describe proper voltage-drop technique.
