Question 1: How do you ensure that powertrain systems meet regulatory emissions standards while maintaining performance?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using larger engines to compensate for emissions control systems

By focusing solely on performance and ignoring emissions standards

By optimizing combustion efficiency, using after-treatment systems, and designing for low emissions

By reducing engine size without considering performance goals

Question 2: How do you design an engine to minimize friction losses while maintaining sufficient lubrication?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By ignoring lubrication and focusing solely on performance

By using low-friction materials, optimizing surface finishes, and designing for adequate oil flow and pressure

By reducing lubrication to minimize weight

Question 3: What is the role of a heated oxygen sensor in reducing emissions?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the need for catalytic converters by controlling fuel consumption

It increases the temperature of exhaust gases to speed up the reduction of NOx emissions

It ensures that the oxygen sensor provides accurate readings by maintaining a proper temperature, improving fuel efficiency and emission control

It reduces CO emissions by limiting the amount of oxygen entering the exhaust

Question 4: What is the primary benefit of implementing an electronic throttle control (ETC) system in automotive engines for fuel efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To allow manual control of throttle opening by the driver

To eliminate the need for a throttle pedal

To increase throttle response time

To enable precise control of engine air intake, optimizing fuel consumption based on real-time driving conditions

Question 5: What is the main advantage of implementing Start-Stop systems in automotive vehicles for fuel efficiency?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To reduce idling time by automatically shutting off the engine when the vehicle is stationary and restarting it when needed

To increase engine power

To enhance engine cooling

To simplify the electrical system

Question 6: How does the powertrain control module (PCM) contribute to the overall performance and efficiency of an automotive powertrain?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It regulates the gear ratios of the transmission for smoother shifting

It controls the vehicle's cooling system to prevent overheating

It monitors the health of the vehicle's tires for optimal traction

It manages engine functions, optimizing performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control based on real-time data
