SEE FIGURE 1–69.Whenever oily cloths are thrown together on the flooror workbench, a chemical reaction can occur, whichcan ignite the cloth even without an open flame. Thisprocess of ignition without an open flame is calledspontaneous combustion.CONTENTThe owner’s manual is the instructional bookletthat comes with every new vehicle and includes important information. It has been said by many automotive professionaltechnicians and service advisors that the owner’s manual is notread by many vehicle owners. Most owners’ manuals contain allor most of the following information.SAFETY TIPS alert students to possible hazards on the joband how to avoid them.1. Meaning of dash symbols2. How to reset the maintenance reminder light3. Specifications, including viscosity of oil needed and number of quarts (liters)4. Tire pressures and standard, as well as optional, tire sizes5. Maintenance schedule for all fluids, including coolant, brakefluid, automatic transmission fluid, and differential fluid6. How to program the remote control, as well as the powerwindows and door locks7. How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)after a tire rotation. SEE FIGURE 1–1.FIGURE 1–1 The owner’s manual has a lot of informationpertaining to the operation, as well as the maintenance andresetting procedures, that technicians often need.S E R V IC E IN F O R M A T IO N , W O R K O R D E R S , A N D V E H IC L E ID E N T IF ICA TION1LEARNING OBJECTIVES AND KEY TERMSappear atthe beginning of each chapter to help students and instructorsfocus on the most important material in each chapter. Thechapter objectives are based on specific ASE and NATEF tasks.TECH TIPIt Just Takes a SecondWhenever removing any automotive component, it iswise to screw the bolts back into the holes a coupleof threads by hand. This ensures that the right boltwill be used in its original location when the component or part is put back on the vehicle.TECH TIPSfeature real world advice and “tricks of thetrade” from ASE-certified master technicians.xviCASE STUDYLightning DamageA radio failed to work in a vehicle that was outsideduring a thunderstorm. The technician checked thefuses and verified that power was reaching the radio.Both the radio and the a ntenna were replaced to correct the problem. SEE FIGURE 28–26.Summary: Complaint—Customer stated that the radio didnot work. Cause—Visual inspection showed an antenna thathad been stuck by lightning. Correction—Replacing the radio and the antennarestored proper operation.CASE STUDYpresent students with actual automotivescenarios and show how these common (and sometimesuncommon) problems were diagnosed and repaired.IN- TE XT FEA TUR ESA01 HALD4428 06 SE FM.indd 1601/11/19 7:20 PM

?FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONHOISTING THE VEHICLEHow Many Types of Screw Heads Are Used inAutomotive Applications?1There are many, including Torx, hex (also calledAllen), plus many others used in custom vans andmotor homes. SEE FIGURE 1–9.3FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS are based on theauthor’s own experience and provide answers to many of themost common questions asked by students and beginningservice technicians.Note: Claw hammer has a claw used to remove nails;therefore, it is not for automotive service.NOTESprovide students with additional technical informa tion to give them a greater understanding of a specific task orprocedure.CAUTION: Do not use a screwdriver as a pry toolor chisel. Screwdrivers use hardened steel only atthe tip and are not designed to be pounded on orused for prying because they could bend easily.Always use the proper tool for each application.CAUTIONS alert students about potential damage tothe vehicle that can occur during a specific task or serviceprocedure.WARNINGDo not use incandescent trouble lights around gasoline or other flammable liquids. The liquids can causethe bulb to break and the hot filament can ignite theflammable liquid, which can cause personal injury oreven death.WARNINGSalert students about potential dangers tothemselves during a specific task or service procedure.538The first step in hoisting a vehicle is to properly alignthe vehicle in the center of the stall.The arms can be moved in and out and most padscan be rotated to allow for many different types ofvehicle construction.Tall pad extensions can also be used to gain accessto the frame of a vehicle. This position is needed tosafely hoist many pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles.STEP BY STEP246Most vehicles will be correctly positioned when theleft front tire is centered on the tire pad.Most lifts are equipped with short pad extensionsthat are often necessary to use to allow the pad tocontact the frame of a vehicle without causing thearm of the lift to hit and damage parts of the body.An additional extension may be necessary to hoist atruck or van equipped with running boards to give thenecessary clearance.79Position the pads under the vehicle under therecommended locations.With the vehicle raised 1 foot (30 cm) off the ground,push down on the vehicle to check to see if it is stableon the pads. If the vehicle rocks, lower the vehicleand reset the pads. The vehicle can be raised to anydesired working level. Be sure the safety is engagedbefore working on or under the vehicle.11C H A P TER 2When the service work is completed, thehoist should be raised slightly and the safetyreleased before using the hydraulic lever tolower the vehicle.8After being sure all pads are correctly positioned,use the electromechanical controls to raise thevehicle.1012If raising a vehicle without a frame, place theflat pads under the pinch weld seam to spreadthe load. If additional clearance is necessary,the pads can be raised as shown.After lowering the vehicle, be sure all armsof the lift are moved out of the way beforedriving the vehicle out of the work stall.T OOLS A ND S A F ET Y39STEP-BY-STEP photo sequences show in detail the stepsinvolved in performing a specific task or service procedure.SUMMARY1. Bolts, studs, and nuts are commonly used as fastenersin the chassis. The sizes for fractional and metric threadsare different and are not interchangeable. The grade is therating of the strength of a fastener.2. Whenever a vehicle is raised above the ground, it mustbe supported at a substantial section of the body orframe.3. Wrenches are available in open end, box end, and combination open and box end.7. Torque wrenches measure the amount of torque appliedto a fastener.8. Screwdriver types include straight blade (flat tip) andPhillips.9. Hammers and mallets come in a variety of sizes andweights.10. Pliers are a useful tool and are available in many differenttypes, including slip-joint, multigroove, linesman’s, diagonal, needle-nose, and locking pliers.4. An adjustable wrench should only be used where theproper size is not available.11. Other common hand tools include snap-ring pliers, files,cutters, punches, chisels, and hacksaws.5. Line wrenches are also called flare-nut wrenches, fittingwrenches, or tube-nut wrenches and are used to removefuel or refrigerant lines.12. Hybrid electric vehicles should be de-powered if any ofthe high-voltage components are going to be serviced.6. Sockets are rotated by a ratchet or breaker bar, alsocalled a flex handle.REVIEW QUESTIONS1. Why are wrenches offset 15 degrees?2. What are the other names for a line wrench?4. Which type of screwdriver requires the use of a hammeror mallet?3. What are the standard automotive drive sizes for sockets?5. What is inside a dead-blow hammer?CHAPTER QUIZ1.
