 Information Sheet 2.1-1
Parts of Light Vehicle and its Function

Objectives: After reading this information sheet, the trainee should be able to:
1. Give the parts of the vehicle and its function.
2. Explain the operation of the speed-control system, and other electrical and
electronic devices.
3. Describe analog and electronic instrument panels, and the operation of the
speedometer and odometer.

I. Vehicle Lightning
A. Lights
the driver uses electric lightning to provide the illumination or light needed
to safely operate the vehicle. The various lights provide vision and
information to the driver, convenience for passengers, and signals
and warnings to other drivers and pedestrians.

The outside or exterior lights on an automotive include:

1. Two or four headlamps which illuminate the area ahead of the vehicle.
2. Taillights to show red at the rear of the vehicle.
3. Parking light to mark the front of a parked vehicle, and to mark the front of
the vehicle if a headlamp fails.
4. License light too illuminate the license plate on the rear of the vehicle.
5. Side-marker lights on the front and rear sides of the vehicle to indicate its
overall length.
6. Turn-signal lights which indicate an intended change in direction by flashing
lights on the side toward which the turn will be made.
7. Backup lights to illuminate in back of the car when the transmission is
shifted into reverse.
8. Emergency flasher or hazard-warning lights that warn an approaching
driver of the presence of a vehicular hazard by flashing all turn-signal lights
together.

The inside of the car has a variety of interior lights. These include:
1. Instrument-panel lights
2. Warning and indicator lights

3. Courtesy and dome lights—turn on when a door opens. Courtesy and dome
lights are all powered from the fuse panel. They will operate regardless of the
position of the ignition key or headlamp switch.

B. Light Bulbs
Lightning is provided by various sizes and types of light bulbs.
When an electric current flows through a fine wire or filament in the bulb,
the filament gets hot and emits visible light. The bulb may fit into a socket
which forms part of a lamp. The bulb may fit into a socket which forms part
of a lamp. Some bulbs have two filaments. This allows a single bulb to
provide light in two circuits for different purposes. The various
bulbs and lighting circuits usually receive power from the fuse
panel, ignition switch, or headlamp switch.

C. Headlamps
It is the most important lamps for the driver. When switch on, they provide
light ahead of the vehicle. The tungsten filament turns white-hot
when connected to the battery and gives out light. The light is reflected
forward by the curved reflector. Then the light passes through the lens which
arranges it in a pattern to light the road ahead. The sealed beam headlamp is
replaced as a unit.

Many vehicles have halogen headlamps. These emit a whiter and brighter
light than other sealed-beam lights. The halogen headlamp has a smaller
inner bulb filled with halogen gas which protects the tungsten filament. The
outer case is airtight or hermetically sealed. The halogen head
lamp is replaced as a unit.

The most widely used headlamps are made in four sizes, two round and two
rectangular The round sizes are 5.75 (146 mm) and 7 inches (178 mm). The
rectangular sizes are 6.5 by 4 inches (165 by 100 mm) and 7.9 by 5.6 inches
(200 by 142mm). All have the number the number 1 or 2 molded into the top
of the lens. Type 1 has one high-beam filament. Type 2 has two filaments,
one for high beam and other for low beam. The letter H or the word
HALOGEN appears on the lens of a halogen headlamp.

Some cars use smaller rectangular headlamps or aerodynamically-

styled composite headlamps .These are made of plastic instead of glass and
have are place able halogen bulb.

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 The driver selects the beam needed by operating the beam
selector or dimmer switch. It is either on the floor or on the
steering column. Beam selection is made automatically by the automatic
headlamp dimmer system. A defective dimmer switch, or a corroded or loose
dimmer-switch connection, affects both low-beam and both high-beam
filaments. The low beams or high beams may operate normally. However, the
other set of filaments may be dim or fail to operate.
A vehicle with four headlamps has two type 1 and two type 2 headlamps. For
low- beam driving, one filament in each type 2 headlamp comes on. On high
beam, the other filament in the type 2 headlamps comes on along with thee
single filament in the type 1 headlamps.

D. Headlamp Switch
The Headlamp Switch controls the operation of the headlamps
and other exterior and interior lights. It connects directly to the battery and
mounts on the instrument panel to left of the steering wheel. The
headlamp switch usually combines a circuit breaker with a three- position
pull switch. It also includes a rotary switch that operates a variable resistor
or rheostat. The three positions of the pull switch are OFF, PARK, and
HEADLAMPS. Pulling the knob to the first detent or PARK position turns on
the parking lights, side-marker lights, and instrumental panel lights. Pulling
the knob to the second detent turns on the headlamps. Clockwise
rotation of the knob varies the instrument-panel lighting from full
bright to dim Rotating the knob fully counterclockwise turns on the
dome light and courtesy lights. Instead of the pull-type headlamp switch,
some cars have three-position rocker switch and a rotating thumbwheel on
the instrument panel.

E. Automatic Headlamp Controls

The automatic headlamp dimmer automatically switches the headlamps from
high to low beam. This occurs when a light sensor senses the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the tail-lamps of a vehicle overtaken. The light
sensor triggers a relay that switches beams. When the other car has passed,
the system automatically returns the headlamps to high beam. A
sensitivity control can be set by the driver. This adjusts the light
sensor to the surrounding light.
An automatic on-off headlamp control turns the headlamps on when it gets
dark enough to require light for driving. A light sensor signals the
control module when headlamps are needed. The control then

September 2023
DRIVING NC II

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 switches the headlamps on. This system also includes an adjustable time-
delay turn-off. The headlamps will stay on for a short time after the ignition
key is turned off. This is a convenience when exiting the car at night.

F. Turn-Signal Lights
The turn signals permit the driver to signal an intention to turn right or left.
The system includes:
1. A lamp at each front and rear corner of the vehicle.
2. A lever-operated turn-signal switch in the steering column.
3. A flasher which is an automatic-reset circuit breaker.
4. Left- and right- turn indicator lights in the instrument panel.
The turn-signal lever is moved up for right turn and down for a left turn. The
turn-signal switch then completes the circuits to the proper lamps
current flows from the battery through the flasher to the lamps. In the
flasher, the current passes through a thermostatic blade. The resulting heat
causes the thermostatic blade to bend, opening thee flasher contacts. The
blade quickly cools and contacts close. This produces a pulsating voltage
that causes the turn-signal lights to flash.
After completing the turn, the turn movement the steering wheel
automatically cancels the turn signal. The lever moves back to its neutral
position, opening the circuit.
A bulb failure or poor ground may cause the turn signals to work in one
direction but not the other. If no flashing occurs in either direction, check for
a blown fuse or defective flasher.

G. Fiber-optic Lighting
Some cars have as many as 80 light bulbs. Each bulb can burn out and fail.
Some components, such as instrument panels, have many bulbs close
together. However, there is little room behind the instrument panel for the
bulbs, their sockets, and thee connecting wiring. One solution is the use of
printed circuits. Another is the use of fiber-optic cables.
Fiber-optic cables are made of one or more transparent glass or plastic fibers
bundled together parallel to one another. Each cable formed by the fiber or
bundle can conduct light, even around bends and corners. As light starts
down thee fiber, the light keeps reflecting off the internal surfaces of the fiber
with little loss. When the light comes out the other end, it is almost as strong
as when it entered.
There is what we call a fiber-optic lamp monitor system. Fiber-optic cables
run from the lamps to a lamp monitor on top of each front fender.
When the headlamps are on, the lamp monitors show that the lights are

September 2023
DRIVING NC II
Developed by: Pag 11 of vii

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 working. If a bulb burns out, its monitor also goes out. This warns the driver
that the lamp has failed.
Another way to use fiber-optics is to run cables from a central light source to
various outlets where light is needed. This allows only one bulb to provide
light at many places. A special arc- discharge bulb provides thee light. It is
smaller and lasts longer than a halogen bulb. Similar to a fluorescent or
neon bulb, there is no filament to burn out. The light appears at each lamp
or outlet only when needed. This system would prevent the failure of many
individual bulbs.

H. Computer Controlled Lighting

In most cars, a separate switch controls each lighting circuit. However, an
electronic-control module or lamp module can control the complete vehicle
lighting system. When the driver operates any switch that controls a lamp
circuit, the switch sends an input signal to tee lamp module. It then turns
the desired lamps on or off. The lamp module provides the intermittent
operation of the hazard-warning and turn-signal lights. No flasher is needed.
In most lighting system a switch supplies voltage to lamps that are
permanently grounded. With computer-controlled lighting, many circuits
operate differently. Voltage is always supplied and a switch or relay provides
the lamp ground. The various lights switches are grouped on the left side of
the steering column in the left switch pod.

I. Distributed Lighting System

The distributed lighting system is a computer-controlled lighting system that
uses the body control module (BCM) as the lamp module. The system
includes nine-solid-state switches or output switching modules (OSM), a
serial data line or bus, and the left switch pod. The BCM controls all
interior and exterior lighting through the switching modules. Each switching
module controls four lamp circuits. Three jumpers divide the power feeds
into three groups. This prevents a module circuit failure from making all
rear or all front lights in operative.
In addition to controlling and monitoring lamp operation, the system
can substitute some lamps for others that have failed. The system includes
two extra or redundant relays. They automatically provide power to the
headlamp (low beam) and left tail lamp if the BCM or the serial data buss
fails. Problems in the distributed lighting system cause a LIGHTING FAULT
message to display. This also sets a lighting-system trouble code which is
stored in the BCM.

Date Developed: Document No.

September 2023
DRIVING NC II
Developed by: Pag 12 of vii

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 The operation of the distributed lighting system is made possible by
multiplexing. This is the use of one conductor, such as the serial data bus, to
do the job of many wires. A single main-wiring harness simplifies the
electrical system. Because of multiplexing, it has fewer connectors
which improve reliability.

J. Headlamp Aiming
Headlamps must be aimed correctly so the driver can see at night and to
prevent the blinding of approaching drivers. One method is the use of
an aiming screen. Park the car on a level floor, 25 feet (7.6 m) from the
screen. Then the high beam and low beam can be checked.
Adjust the headlamps to provide the specified pattern. There are usually
adjusted by turning vertical-aim and horizontal-aim adjusting screws.
An adapter mounts to the three aiming pads on the headlamp. Some shops
have an optical aimer. It does not touch the headlamp. When using a
headlamp aimer, follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
Headlamp-aiming patterns and adjustment are in the vehicle service manual.
Some vehicles have aiming devices built into the headlamp
assembly. A bubble level indicates the proper height (up-and-down)
adjustment as the vertical aim adjusting screws are turned in and out. Other
vehicles also have built-in scales and pointers for horizontal (side-to-side)
adjustment.
Caution:
Halogen bulbs and headlamps get very hot. Do not touch a halogen bulb or
lamp while it is on or shortly after it has been turned-off. Handle the
separately- mounted bulb carefully. It contains gas under pressure. The bulb
may shatter if scratched and dropped. Do not touch the glass envelope. The
oil from your skin may damage it. Keep the bulb out of reach of children.

II. Safety and Signaling

A. Horn and Horn Relay

Most Cars have two horns at the front of the car. Horns are electrically-
operated noise-makers used by the driver to provide a loud warning
signal. Pressing a horn button in the steering wheel or column grounds
thee circuit connecting the battery to the horn relay. This closes contact
points in the relay and connects the horns—through the relay—to the
battery. The electric current then causes a diaphragm in each horn to
vibrate and produce the sound.

Date Developed: Document No.

September 2023
DRIVING NC II
Developed by: Pag 13 of vii

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

B. Vehicular Security Systems
An anti-theft or security alarm system causes the horn to sound and the lights to
flash if someone tries to break into the vehicle. There are several different ways to
trigger the alarm. Typically, the driver sets the alarm by operating a switch when
leaving the vehicle. Then opening or forcing the hood, trunk, tailgate, or any door
triggers the alarm.
Many vehicle security systems include a starter interrupt. This prevents the
starting the engine after any forced entry, even if the ignition switch is by passed.

C. Seat Belts
Seat Belts restrain the vehicle occupants if there is an accident. After entering the
car, the driver and passengers each fasten a lap or lap-and-shoulder belt. The belt
then helps hold that person in the seat during a collision or rollover. Inertia-
sensitive retractors lock the belt in place when an impact occurs.
A passive restraint provides protection without requiring any action by the driver
or passenger. Two types of passive restraints are air bags and motorized seat
belts. These are front-seat shoulder belts that move into position automatically.
After entering the car and closing the door, the driver turns on the ignition key.
The electric motor then pulls a cable or tape connected to the belt. The belt travels
forward and out of the way when the door opens. In some cars with an air bag on
only the driver’s side, the seatbelt for the front-seat passenger automatically
tightens in a crash. This provides the passenger with additional protection.
D. Air bags
Air bags are also called supplemental inflatable restraints (SIR). They are balloon-
type devices that inflate automatically to protect the driver (and front-passenger in
some vehicles) if a front-end crash occurs. The airbag prevents the occupant from
being thrown forward and injured by striking the steering wheel or wind-shield.
The seat belt and air bag together provide maximum protection against injury in a
collision.
When the ignition key is turned on, the readiness indicator light should come on
for about six seconds. Any other operation of the light indicates a malfunction. The
system is powered directly from the battery. This allows the air bag to inflate with
the ignition key in any position, including OFF and LOCK.
If a front-end crash occurs, two of the four sensors must activate to trigger the air
bag. This helps prevent a short circuit in a sensor or wiring from causing an
unwanted inflation. When the sensors detect a collision, an electric spark below
the inflator in the steering hub ignites a small canister of gas. The gas in turn
ignites the propellant (sodium azide) in the inflator.
The burning propellant creates nitrogen gas. This fills the air bag stored above in
the inflator in the steering wheel hub. As the bag inflates, it pushes through both

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 the air-cushion container and the steering wheel trim cover. Deployment time,
from impact to full inflation, is about 50 milliseconds (0.050 second) or less.
Some systems include a capacitor that will trigger the system if the battery or
battery cables are damaged by the impact.

E. Air-Bag Replacement
An air bag inflates only once. Then remove the deployed air bag and clean the
inside of the vehicle. This is necessary because of the powder emitted as the air
bag deploys. Install a new air bag module. Follow the air-bag service procedures in
the vehicle service manual.
Caution:
Be careful when working on vehicles with air bags. You could accidentally trigger
thee system. A deploying air bag could injure you if you are not belted in the
normal seated position.
F. Windshield Wipers and Washers
Windshield wipers clean the windshield so the driver can see clearly while driving
in rain or snow. The wiper blades are moved back and forth by linkage connected
to a motor on the firewall in the engine compartment. A switch on the steering
column or instrument pane connects the motor to the ignition switch. The motor
will run when the ignition key is in the ON or ACC position.
The windshield-wiper switch has at least two or three speeds. Many cars have
intermittent windshield wipers. These include an adjustable time delay between
blade movements. The wiper blades will move across and back. Pause, and then
repeat the action.
The windshield washer is a part of the windshield-wiper system. When the driver
presses a button, liquid windshield-washer fluid squirts on the windshield. This
allows the blades to clean more effectively. Some cars have heated wind-shield
washer nozzles. This prevents ice from clogging the small holes in cold weather.
The rear window in some cars has a similar wiper-and washer-system. It works
automatically when the windshield washer operates.

III. Driver Information and Safety

A. Instrument Pane
The instrument panel contains the indicators—gauges, lights, and
displays—the driver needs to operate the car. These are usually
grouped for easy reading by the driver in an instrument cluster. Some
driver-operated controls mount on the instrument panel, or above
or below it in a console/ these include the headlamp switch,
heating and air-conditioning controls and the controls of the radio and
tape and compact-disc player.

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 Automotive instrumentation may take the form of analog gauges or
electronic displays. Analog gauges show thee condition being monitored by
movement of thee pointer on the gauge. Several analog gauges are group
into an analog instrument cluster. In an electronic cluster, the various
readings and conditions displays a numbers or a bar-graph display. Both
types of the instrument clusters inform the driver of any conditions
including:
1. Vehicle speed
2. Distance traveled
3. Engine temperature
4. Engine oil pressure
5. Battery charge or discharge
6. Amount of fuel in fuel tank.
Some cars have a hybrid instrument cluster. It includes both analog gauges
and electronic displays, along with other indicating devices and warning
lights. This may illuminate a symbol or a message such as DOOR AJAR or
TAIL LAMPOUT.

B. Head-up Display
Images containing driving information are projected onto the windshield.
The information includes displays of vehicle speed, turn-signal indicators,
high-beam indicator, and low-fuel warning. These images appear
suspended in space near the front bumper. The driver’s eyes do not need to
move from the road or refocus to view this information.
Only certain information from the instrument panel appears in the head-up
display. A warning CHECKGAUGES messages appearing on the windshield
alerts the driver that a gauge on the instrument panel needs attention.
Controls allow adjustment of the head-up display brightness and vertic
allocation in the windshield.
C. SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER
A speedometer in the instrument cluster shows the driver how the fast the
vehicle is moving. Many speedometers are driven from the transmission
output shaft by a set of gears. Thee driven gear fastens to a flexible shaft or
speedometer cable. It runs from the transmission output shaft to the back
of the speedometer head.
Inside the speedometer, the cable turns a shaft with a small magnetic field
produces a varying pull on the metal ring surrounding the magnet. A pointer
attaches to the metal ring. As magnetic field spins, it causes the ring to
overcome a light spring and swing with the magnetic field. This moves the

September 2023
DRIVING NC II

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

 pointer which then indicates car speed. The faster the car speed, the faster
the magnet spins, and the farther the pointer moves.
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has traveled. It is a row
of numbers, usually located in the speedometer shaft. Its motion is carried
through the gears to the mileage or kilometer number rings. These turn to
show the distance traveled by the vehicle.
Some vehicles have an electronically-driven speedometer and odometer. A
vehicle-speed sensor (VSS) on the transmission output shaft sends vehicle
speed signals through wiring to the speedometer. This eliminates the
speedometer cable. The speed signals operate a small electric stepper motor
which turns the odometer number rings. Cars with an electronic instrument
cluster have a digital speedometer and odometer display. When the key is
off, the body control module (BCM) stores the odometer reading. The
odometer reading is not lost when the battery is disconnected.
D. Speed-Control System
The cruise control or speed-control system helps the vehicle to automatically
maintain a speed selected by the driver. When set at any speed above
about225 mph [40 kmph], the driver’s foot can be removed from the
accelerator pedal. An actuator motor, vacuum servo then opens and closes
the throttle, as needed to maintain the speed. However, steep grades up or
down may cause vehicle speed to vary.
Tapping the clutch or brake pedal operates a switch that
disengages the system. Touching the RESUME button or switch causes the
vehicle to return to the former speed setting. Depressing thee accelerator
pedal for passing does not affect the setting. Depressing the accelerator
pedal for passing does not affect the setting. When the pedal is released, the
system returns the vehicle to the preset speed. To disengage and turn off the
speed-control system, move the OFF-ON switch to OFF.
E. Networks and Multiplexing
Some cars have several microprocessors which control the various electronic
systems. One way to reduce duplication and wiring is to have these
controllers communicate with each other. When this happens thee
group of interconnected components and systems becomes a network. For
example, a sensor is wired to one controller. If then shares the information
with all other controllers that require it. The vehicle has fewer sensors, and
the amount of wiring and number of connections is greatly reduced.
F. Other electrical and Electronic Devices
The automobile may contain other electrical and electronic devices in
addition to those already described. These include power seats, power
windows, heated windshield, voice alert systems, voice command systems,

mobile telephones, and electronic navigation systems. Some of these
and other electrical and electronic devices are described below.
1. Electric seat adjusters are motors under the seat that operate by
pushbuttons or levers to move the seat forward and back, or up or down.
Some also change the inclination and shape, or contour, of the seat.
2. The window regulator has a motor in the door that raises or lowers the
window as a switch is operated.
3. The voice alert system uses a computerized voice which says, “The door
is ajar,” “The key is in the ignition lock,” or ‘the headlamps are on. ”These
and other messages inform the driver of conditions that need attention.
4. The voice command system causes the car to respond in some way to a
spoken command. This may be “Tune thee radio,” “Lower thee window,” or
“Dial a phone number.” There are many other voice-command possibilities.
One includes using a voice command to unlock the car door and operate the
ignition instead of using a key.
5. The keyless entry system has a panel of buttons on the driver-side door.
To unlock the door, the buttons must be pressed in the proper order. This
code takes the place of the key. Some keyless entry systems can also be
operated from up to 33 feet [10 m] by a small hand-held transmitter.
Pushing a button on the transmitter will lock all doors, unlock all doors, or
open the trunk. Another button— the PANIC button- acts as a theft
deterrent or anti-theft device. Pushing the panic button with the ignition of
activates the horn and flashes the headlamps.
6. Electronic navigation systems display a map on the instrument panel
which shows the location of the vehicle on the road. The location point
moves on the map as the vehicle travels on the highway. It also shows the
route to the destination. In some systems, a satellite orbiting in space—
22,000 miles [35,400] above the earth—pinpoints vehicle location.
7. Radar braking uses radar to sense how fast a vehicle is closing on the
vehicle ahead. The brakes apply automatically to slow the vehicle if
necessary to maintain a safe distance. Someday radar braking may be
combined with throttle control into intelligent cruise control. This could
keep traffic moving at a preset speed while radar braking maintains safe
intervals between vehicles.

 Information Sheet 2.1-2
Hand Tools

Hand tools

Automotive service work requires a great variety of tools. The proper

tools properly used enable to do a job with safety, speed, and efficiency.
This information sheet covers hand tools. Your hand supplies the
energy to use them. They include striking, turning, gripping, and cutting
tools. They also include tube bending and flaring tools.

A. Striking tools

1. Hammers - a hammer is a hand tool used for striking. The ball-peen

hammer is the one used most in the shop. Grip the hammer on the end of
the handle. Swing it so the hammer face strikes the object or surface
squarely. Avoid hitting the object a tan angle. Use rawhide, plastic, brass,
and rubber hammers to strike easily marred surfaces. A dead blow hammer
has a hollow head partially filled with small metal shot. This recess
rebounding.

B. Turning Tools
1. Screwdrivers - Use the proper screwdriver to drive or turn screw.
Screwdrivers are made in a variety of sizes, shapes, and special purpose
designs. The most common type has a single flat blade for driving screws
with slotted heads there are also Torx -head and Phillips-head screws.
Always select a screw driver of the proper types and size for
the job. When using a single-blade screwdriver, the blade shouldcompletely
fill the screw slot. This helps prevent damage to the screw head.
2. Wrenches - long-handled tool with fixed or adjustable jaws. You use a
wrench to turn bolts, nuts, and screws to work on both USC, and metric
fasteners, you need both USC and metric wrenches. A 3/8- to 1-inch USC
set and a 6- to 119-mm metric set will handle most jobs. You need these
sizes in sets of open-end, box, and combination wrenches.
a. Open-end wrench - usually has a jaw opening at a 15degree angle to a
handle. Turn the bolt or nut as far as the space permits. Then flip the
wrench over for further turning of the fastener.
An open-end wrench has a different size on each end. Make sure the wrench
fits snugly against the flats. These are the sides of a nut or bolt head. A
loose fit may break or spring the jaws of the wrench. Springing jaws spread

 apart and round off the corners of the hex. This makes use of the proper
wrench more difficult.
Careful:
Never use an open-end wrench to final-tighten a fastener or to free a frozen
fastener. The jaws may spread enough to allow thee wrench to slip. Use a
box wrench or a socket wrench for these jobs.
b. Box-wrench - opening surrounds or “boxes in” the nut or bolt head. An
advantage is that the box will seldom slip off. However, you must lift the box
wrench completely off and then place it back on for each swing. The wrench-
head is thin for use in tight places. The head usually sets at a 15-degree
angle to the body. This provides hand clearance for swinging the wrench.
The most common box wrench has 12 notches or “points” in the head.
This allows turning the fastener if the wrench can swing 30 degrees. A six-
point box wrench holds better on a nut or bolt but needs a greater swing.
The box wrench has different size openings on each end.
c. Combination wrench - has a box on one end and an opened on the other.
The two ends are usually the same size. The box end is more convenient for
breaking loose or final tightening a nut or bolt. But you must lift the box
completely free after each swing. The open end is more likely to slip off.
However, once the fastener is loose, the open end can turn it faster.
d. Flare-nut wrench - is a special type of combination or boxed wrench. It is
used to attach or loosen a flare nut or tubing nut. The ends of the flare-nut
wrench are thicker than on the wrenches. This helps prevent slipping and
rounding off the points on soft-metal tube fittings. The six-point boxed has
one of the flats cut out. The opening is large enough to slip over the tube.
Careful:
Do not turn the flare nut without holding coupling nut. This will usually
twist and break the metal tube.
e. Adjustable wrench - an adjustable wrench has a
movable jaw that you adjust the fit nuts and bolt heads of various sizes.
Tighten thee jaws against the flats of the nut or bolt before applying a
turning force. Adjustable wrenches are normally used only when applying
relatively light torque. They are not always a strong as fixed jaw wrenches
and maybe damaged if excessive torque is applied.
f. Socket wrenches - the most widely used tools. They are like box wrenches
except that the head or socket is detachable from the handle. You assemble
the socket wrench you need from the socket set in your toolbox.
1. SOCKET. The 12-point socket allows you to turn a bolt or nut in tight spots.
However, if a bolt head or nut has rounded corners or excessive resistance to
turning, thee 120point socket may slip. Use a six point socket for these. The

 eight point socket is for turning square heads. These include drain plugs, fill
plugs, and pipe plugs. Deep sockets reach nuts on bolts or studs that are too
long for the standard socket to reach. You remove and install spark plugs with a
spark-plug socket. This is a six-point deep socket with a rubber insert. Thee
insert holds the plug to prevent it from falling out of the socket.
2. HANDLES. Figure 7-8 shows several handles. The ratchet handle has a
mechanism that permits free motion in one direction but lockup in the other.
You select the direction for lockup by moving the reversing lever. Extensions of
various lengths provide access to hard-to-reach bolts or nuts. The universal
joint allows you to turn a nut or bolt while holding the driver at an angle.
Adapters allow you to use a driver with a socket having a different drive size.
Also, various kinds and sizes of screw drivers, Torx drives, Allen wrenches, and
flare- nut wrenches will fit the drivers and adapters.
NOTE:
To work on variety of domestic and imported cars, you need both USC and metric
socket sets.
g. Torque wrench - is basically a special handle for a socket. An indicator on
the torque wrench measures the torque or twisting force. This is the amount
of force applied to a nut or bolt while tightening it. Vehicle service manuals
give the torque specification might be to tighten a bolt to “20 lb. - ft.” this
means to apply a 20 pound pull at a distance of 1 foot from the bolt. Dirty or
damaged threads put a drag on the threads as the bolt or nut is tightened.
This gives a false reading on the torque wrench. It can also result in not
enough tightening. Many torque wrenches read in pound-feet 9lb-ft). Some
read in pound-inches (lb.-in). Use these where you need to accurately apply
a small torque. Twelve pound-inches equals one-pound-foot. The scale on
metric torque wrenches is in kilogram-meters (kg-m), kilogram-centimeters
(kg-cm), or newton-meters (n-m). Newton- meters is the preferred unit. To
convert from USC to newton-meters, multiply pound-feet by 1.35.
h. Torque-Angle Gauge - Tighten torque-to-yield bolts to an initial torque with
a torque wrench. Then final-tighten the bolts by turning them through a
specified angle with a socket wrench. You can easily see a 90-degree turning
angle by watching how a ratchet-handle or breaker-bar moves. For other
angles, use a torque-angle gauge. It accurately measures the turning angle
in degrees. The gauge attaches to the socket driver. The socket attaches to
the gauge. As the handle turns, the degree indicator remains the greatest
angle reached.
C. Gripping tools
1. Pliers - Pliers are hand tools with a pair of adjustable pivoted jaws for
cutting or gripping. There are many styles and sizes of pliers. Combination

DRIVING NC II
Developed by: Pag 23 of vii

MELY JOY S. AGEAS

slip-joint pliers may have cutting edges at the back of the jaws for wire
cutting. Tongue -and-groove or groove-and-land pliers such as Channel lock
pliers have the tongues or lands to different grooves changes the distance
the jaws can open. The jaws remain parallel at any setting.

Locking pliers such as Vise-Grip pliers have locking jaws. This makes them
useful as pliers, wrenches, clamps, and small vises. Look the jaws by
turning a screw in the end of the handle. This adjusts the size of the
opening. Closing the handles then locks the jaws into place. To release the
jaws, pull the release lever.
Careful:
Never use gripping pliers on hardened steel surfaces. This dulls the pliers’
teeth. Never use pliers on nuts or bolt heads. The pliers may slip and round
off the edges of the hex. Then a wrench or socket will not fit on the fastener
properly.
2. Pullers - remove parts assembled with an interference fit. This includes
removing gears and hubs from shafts, and bushings from bores or cylinder
liner from engine blocks.
A puller set has many pieces that can fit together to form the puller needed
for the job. There are three basic types of pullers.

D. Cutting Tools
Cutting tools remove metal. They include chisels, hacksaws, files, punches.
Drills, taps, and dies are also cutting tools. Power cutting tools include
grinders, hones, lathes, and boring machine.
1. Chisels - is a cutting tool with a single cutting edge. There are various
sizes and shapes of chisels. Striking the chisel with a hammer makes the
chisel cut metal. Hold the chisel with one hand and the hammer in the
other. Hit the end of the chisel squarely holding the chisel in a chisel holder
or smooth-jaw locking pliers will protect your hand.
Caution:
Always wear eye protection when using a chisel. Never use a chisel with a
mushroomed head. When the hammer strikes the head, a piece could fly off.
The flying metal could cut you or injure an unprotected eye.
2. Hacksaw - is basically an adjustable metal frame that holds a steel saw
blade. The blade is replaceable and has from14 to 32 teeth per inch. Cutting
occurs on the forward stroke as you push the blade across the metal. The
teeth act like tiny chisels and cut off fine shavings or chips. Select a blade
with the proper number teeth per inch for the job. The teeth must be close
enough so at least two teeth are cutting. Teeth that are too close together

clog and stop cutting. The hacksaw blade for general cutting has 18 teeth
per inch.
3. Files - are used for cutting and shaping metal. They have many cutting
edges or teeth. When the cuts are far apart, there are only a few per inch.
This is rough-or coarse-cut file. When the cuts are close together, the file is
a smooth or dead-smooth file. A single-cut file has a series of sharp blades.
A double-cut file has a second series cut at an angle to the first. This creates
a series of sharp teeth. Various sizes and cuts of round, half-round, flat, and
triangular files are used during automotive service work. Always use a
handle with a file. Tapping the end of the handle on the bench tightens the
file in the handle. Keep the file teeth clean with a file card. It has short stiff-
wire bristles that remove chips and dirt from the teeth.
4. Punches - are used to knock out rivets and pins. They also align parts for
the assembly. To remove a rivet, grind off the rivet head. Or cut it off with a
chisel. Mark spots where holes are to be drilled with a center punch. The
punch mark keeps the drill bit centered as it starts cutting you can use the
center punch to mark parts before they are disassembled .Align the punch
marks to reassemble the parts in the same position.
5. Twist drills (Drill bits) - are tools for making holes. The material being
drilled determines the preferred shape of the cutting edges that form the
point. The grooves along the body carry the chips out of the hole. A hand-
held air or electric drill motor, or a drill press, drives the drill bit.
6. Taps and Dies - tap-and-die sets are for cutting USC and metric threads.
Taps cut inside the threads. To tap a hole, determine the thread size needed.
Refer to a tap drill chart and select the size of drill bit required. The hole
made by the specified tap drill will be the proper diameter for tapping.
Dies cut outside threads on rods diestock holds the die. Chamfer or bevel the
rod end so the die starts easily. The basic procedure is the same for both
taps and dies. Apply cutting the lubricant to the surface. Then begin thread
cutting. After every two turns, back off the tap or die and apply more
lubricant.

 A. Cooling System Flush
Overheating in engines is often caused by a poorly performing cooling system. This
can lead to a lack of performance or worse, the potential failure of your engine and
transmission resulting in expensive repair bills. Our Cooling System Flush is
designed to safely break down and remove rust and scale deposits from the cooling
system. This specialty service then replaces up to 95% of the old coolant and refills
the system with quality, long life fluid. Specialty conditioning treatment is added
to help maintain the cooling system in optimum condition.

KEY ITEMS:

• Check radiator for damage or leaks

• Check hoses and thermostat operation
• Drain and flush cooling system
• Refill radiator with coolant and conditioner
• Pressure test cooling system and test for leak

B – Brakes - A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by absorbing

energy from a moving system. It is used for slowing or stopping a moving vehicle,
wheel, axle, or to prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of
friction.

A –Air- mixture of gases that composes the atmosphere surrounding Earth. Air is
the life sustaining of vehicle tire and must always be checked before running the
vehicle.
The following must be checked.

a. Tire pressure

Tire Service

Why is it important?
Tires may wear differently depending on their position on the vehicle, your driving
style and the condition of your suspension. Regularly rotating your tires can
evenly distribute their wear — helping you get the most miles out of your tires
while maximizing traction on all four wheels.

What is the service?
Changing the position of the tires on your vehicle is according to your vehicle and
tire manufacturers’ recommended rotation pattern.
Benefit to you:
Tire Rotation Service – Helps maximize the life span of your tires.

G- Gas – Natural gas vehicle (NGV) is an alternative fuel vehicle that uses
compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Natural gas vehicles
should not be confused with vehicles powered by LPG (mainly propane), which is a
fuel with a fundamentally different composition.

-Especially during long drives, a full gas tank is important. Imagine how
troublesome it would be if you run out of fuel while you’re stuck in traffic or
driving along the road where a gas station is nowhere in sight.

E- Early Warning Device -a device that signals the occurrence of some

undesirable event.

4 reasons why carrying an Early Warning Device:

1. Safety - EWD is designed for safety purposes. It warns other motorists that
there’s a stalled vehicle ahead, which could lessen the odds of an accident.
2. Road Courtesy - Placing EWD won’t just keep you safe when you pull over to the
side but, it will also protect the approaching motorists. In this way, you are
being courteous towards other road users, and at the same time, you are
promoting road safety.
3. Responsible Car Owner - If all of us are responsible car owners or drivers, car-
related accidents could be reduced to a minimum. Be a responsible driver by
practicing road safety and courtesy. As such, you should always have the
essential tools inside your car – especially the EWD.

4. Required by the Law - Yes, it is required by the law. The Memorandum Circular
No. VPT-2012-1609 or the Revised Rules on the Implementation of the
Early Warning Device Requirement states that EWD is a mandatory accessory
for all motor vehicles, except motorcycles and tricycles. The memorandum goes
on by stating that “a pair of EWD…shall be carried at all times.” So, you might
want to buy EWD right now if you still don’t have one inside your car.

T-Tools – a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry
out a particular function, any instrument or simple piece of equipment that you
hold in your hands and use to do a particular kind of work.

S- Self -Human error is the leading cause of road accidents. Accident Recording
and Analysis System cites fatigue, sleepiness, drunkenness, and medical problems
like asthma and dizziness as examples.

The following must be checked

1. Check yourself! If you’re sick, dizzy, tired, sleepy, or drunk, you better let
somebody else take over the steering wheel.
2. Also, check your documents before you hit the road. Your driver’s license, LTO
registration papers, and proof of car insurance should be within reach when you
