Q.No Expected Answer / Value Points Distribution of Marks

11. Sprung Weight: The weight of the vehicle frame, body, engine, transmission and any other load on these components are supported over the suspension system, therefore, such weights are called as sprung weight. Un-sprung Weight: some parts of an auto-vehicle, which are fitted between suspension system and the road surface, are not supported by the suspension system. Weights of these parts are known as un-sprung weight. Examples of such weights are the rear axle assembly, wheels, tyres, brakes and the steering knuckle etc.

12. Applications of Air Compressor are as follows:- 2
• Automotive service and body shops,
• Fleet maintenance,
• Machine shops,
• Production and manufacturing lines,
• Car washes, etc.

13. The customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance 2 the level of customer satisfaction that is, the feeling that a  product or service has met the customer expectation before, during  and after a purchase.

14. Customer support is a range of services provided to assist the 2 customers in purchase or maintenance of their vehicles. It includes  assistance in planning, installation, training, trouble shooting, maintenance, upgrading, and disposal of a vehicle.

15. Blind-spot detection: This technology responds as soon as the driver puts on the turn signal, thereby preventing a collision  caused by the driver‟s blind spot. If the driver making a turn too  fast and the car senses a potential rollover, the rollover prevention  system will apply the brakes and modulate the throttle as needed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle.

16. Following are the advantages of using service manual. 
• It helps to know about the details of the vehicle.
• It informs the vehicle owner regarding the maintenance schedule of different system of the vehicle.
• It provides details about the servicing procedure of all the system, inspection and other related details.
• It also provides information regarding various defects, their symptoms and rectifications.

SECTION C

Q.No Expected Answer / Value Points Distribution of Marks

17. The functions of alternator are as follows: 3
• It produces alternating current when the engine is running
• It also converts the alternating current into direct current with the help of rectifier fitted along with it.
• It is the source of electricity in automobile when the engine is running.
• When the engine is running the alternator charges the battery by supplying the current to the battery through the charging circuit.

19. Micrometer (screw gauge): Screw gauge is a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small internal and external distances with high accuracy. Multi-meter: A multi meter or a multi tester, also known as a VOM (Volt-Ohm meter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical multi-meter may include features such as the ability to measure voltage, current and resistance. Hydro-meter: A hydro-meter is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity (or relative density) of liquids. In automobile it is used to check the specific gravity of electrolyte of battery.

20. The procedure of changing fuel filter is as follows: 

1. Locate the old fuel filter, it may be in the engine compartment or under the car near the fuel tank.
2. If recommended by manufacturer, follow procedure to remove fuel pressure.
3. Unscrew each hose clamp bolt until it nearly comes apart from the nut.
4. Push the clamp up the hose.
5. Remove the old filter and replace with new filter.
6. Run the engine and check for any leakage of fuel.

21. Material and Tools Requirement for the changing of air filter 
• A new air filter / specifications as recommended by the manufacturer
• A flat screwdriver
• A Phillips screwdriver
• A compressor air valve w/hose

22. Rollover Prevention: Most of the newer SUVs are equipped with electronic stability control systems, but rollover prevention systems take the concept one step further. If you are making a turn too fast and the car senses a potential rollover, the rollover prevention system will apply the brakes and modulate the throttle as needed to help you maintain control of the vehicle.

SECTION D

23. a) Different Hand Tools Files: The files are hand tools used to perform wide variety of  metal removal tasks, like removing of sharp edges, smoothening of surfaces, shaping of jobs, finishing, producing intricate shapes etc.

Pliers: Pliers us used to hold small objects and either tighten or loosen parts into place, cutting of wires and small objects etc.

Bench Vice: The vice is work holding device used to hold the work for operation like sawing, filing, chipping, tapping, threading, bending of small jobs, fitting etc.  Hand Hacksaw: The hand hacksaw is a hand tool to cut the  metals,

Chisel: The chisels are hand tools for cutting, shearing and  chipping of metals.

Screw Drivers: Screw drivers are tools often used by automobile mechanics to fit into screws and either tighten or loosen them into place.

Wrenches: The wrenches are hand tools for tightening and loosening of nuts and bolts. Wheel wrenches are used for opening of wheel nuts.

Hammers: The hammers are used for straightening of sections,  riveting, striking of nails, inserting the components by striking.

Snips: Used to cut sheet metals to the required shapes.

Punch: Used to drive objects, such as nails or to form an impression of the tip on a work piece.

23.b) Procedure of Changing Oil and Oil Filter: Materials and Tools required
• Engine Oil of correct grade
• New Oil Filter
• Plastic Container and Funnel
• Drain Plug socket wrench and Oil filter wrench
• Car jack and jack stands
• Paper towel and a rag

Procedure:

• Park the vehicle on a hard level ground and apply the hand brake.

• Start the engine and run it for some time to worm-up the engine oil and switch off.

• If you need space under the car jack it up and use jack stands to support it.

• Unscrew the oil cap

• Get underneath the car and locate the oil drain plug and remove it with the help of wrench.

• The old oil should be drained in a container.

• Locate the oil filter and remove it with the help of wrench by rotating anti-clock wise.

• Prepare the new filter – clean up the filter seat on the engine and place a light coating of oil on the gasket of the new filter.

• Install the new filter by carefully screwing the filter into place by hand.

• When the engine oil is completely drained fit back the oil drain plug and tighten with wrench.

• Fill-up the new oil with the help of funnel and check the level of the engine oil with the help of dipstick.

• Replace the oil cap.

• Clean up all oil spillages on the engine and check for any leaks from the drain plug.

• Properly dispose off the old oil and filter.

23. c) Procedure of Changing Coolant:

Materials and Tools required:
• New coolant
• Empty Pan to drain old coolant
• Spanner of required size

Procedure:
• Purchase the coolant as per manufactures specifications
• Prepare the vehicle: keep your car in plain space and keep engine off for few hour so that engine is cool.
• Keep a pan below radiator.
• Open the radiator cap and see level of coolant
• Open the drain plug nut below radiator chamber by using wrench or by hand if possible.
• Coolant will start coming out and all coolant will beemptied.
• Put back the drain plug at the bottom of radiator
• Fill the radiator to the top with the coolant.
• Turn the engine on. Let if run for several minutes to get any air out of the system. Watch the temperature gauge to make sure the car does not overheat. After the radiator has burped up air bubbles, turn the car off and carefully fill the radiator to the top with coolant. Close the radiator cap tightly. Watch the temperature gauge carefully for the next few days.
