The lead sulfate on the plates gradually decomposes, changing the negative plates back to sponge lead and the positive plates to lead dioxide. The sulfate is re-deposited in the water, which increases the sulfuric acid content and returns the electrolyte to full strength. Now, the battery is again able to supply current.

Define the following systems: a) vehicle electronic stability control system b) Antilock brake system Answer: a, vehicle electronic stability control system: Electronic stability control (ESC) is a computerized technology (active safety system) that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing the risk of a driver losing control of the vehicle when it skids, swerves suddenly or when road conditions change. /2marks b. Antilock brake system: It is an electronic system/ automobile safety system which monitor and control the skidding of the vehicle during breaking and prevent the wheels from locking while braking. ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control while braking and shorten braking distances on slippery surfaces like wet or icy surfaces. But it increases the stopping distances in simple surfaces. /2marks 02, What is the working principle of Antilock brake system? /4 marks Answer: When the pedal is pressed, the liquid is forced along the pipe lines to the wheel cylinders. ‘The skidding and lack of control was caused by the locking of wheels. When whcel stops/locks due to brake oil pressurized, Speed Sensor sends signal to BCU. ECU Sends signal to Pump and Solenoid valve to stop brake fluid flow and release pressure on wheel by return the brake fluid through the return line. ‘The release and reapply of the brake pedal will avoid the locking of the wheels which in turn avoid the skidding. 03, What are three (3) purpose of electronic controlled suspension system? /3 marks Answer: a) Adjust shock stiffness depending on conditions b) Change settings to firm for cornering ¢) Selects soft for cruising 2022-NNESA (National Examination and School Inspection Authority) co) Section A: Attempt all Fifteen (15) questions. - (60 Marks) (4 marks) (3 marks)T162_ vehicle electronics stability and signaling system 04.

It is created by the natural means of wind and circulation, or it gan be created artificially by the mechanical means of a fan or blower unit. BUT the air around you has weight, and it presses against everything it touches, That pressure is called atmospheric pressure, or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above it as gravity pulls it to Earth. Discuss about possible causes of replacing water pump 5 marks {5 marks) Answer ‘Awater pump must be replaced when one of its parts has damaged. ‘The water pump doesn't need to be changed in regular mileage intervals. It must be inspected during regular services and replaced if it's bad or shows early signs of failing. In some cases a water pump is replaced as a precaution; for example, ©T159_ Automotive engine and auxiliaries systems 13. 14, 15. when changing the timing belt, or when it's suspected to cause __ overheating or in cars that are known for water pump failures. — In an average car a water pump lasts for 100,000-150,000 miles, although it can fail prematurely.

Position . Teed / oF 4 Tomporatuia Sy [tester Rotational + + spond Load External exhaust-gas recirculation involves a portion of the exhaust gas being removed shortly after the exhaust manifold and being remixed with the fuel-air mixture in the intake manifold, Exhaust-gas recirculation reduces the charge of fuel-air mixture supplied to the cylinders. The combustion temperature is reduced since the recirculated exhaustgas components are no longer able to take part in combustion. In this way, significantly fewer nitrogen oxides are formed during combustion (up to 40%). As the exhaust-gas recirculation rate rises, both the content of unburnt HC compounds and the fuel consumption increase. ‘After treatment of exhaust gases in catalyst: The exhaust gases are subjected to after treatment in order to convert the pollutants created during combustion after they have left the combustion chamber ely or partially into harmless substances. complet tem components from the Organize the following lubricating syst a) ig components: Oil pump, Oil start of oil delivery to the Iubricatin} filter, Oil strainer, Relief valve, by pass valve and oil pan. 6 tion and School inspection Authority) (10 marks) (10 marks) (vii)T159_ Automotive engine and auxiliaries systems marks Answer 1.

Once you are sure that the cooling system is full of coolant, a cooling system pressure tester is attached in place of the radiator cap. /2 marks ») The tester is than pumped to build up pressure in the system. 2022-NESA (National Examination and Schoo!
