Clutch Course Part 4 Flashcards
How do you check the condition of the clutch control switch connector?
Disconnect clutch control switch connector under the dash just above the pedal. Visually inspect the connector for bent or corroded pins.
Example: Disconnecting the clutch control switch connector is essential for proper inspection.
What should you do if the clutch control switch pins are not in good condition and have corrosion?
Repair or replace damaged components as needed.
Additional information: Corrosion on the pins can affect the proper functioning of the clutch control switch.
How do you perform a continuity test on pins B and C?
Perform a continuity test between pins B and C with the clutch pedal not depressed. Perform another continuity test with the clutch pedal depressed about 4 inches (10cm).
Example sentence: Continuity tests help determine the status of the clutch control switch.
What should you do if there is no continuity when the clutch pedal is depressed on pins B and C?
Replace the clutch control switch.
Additional information: Lack of continuity indicates a faulty clutch control switch.
How do you perform a continuity test on pins A and C?
Perform a continuity test between pins A and C with the clutch pedal not depressed.
Example: Continuity tests are crucial for diagnosing clutch control switch issues.
What should you do if the continuity test on pins A and C fails?
There may be air in the hydraulic system or a hydraulic fluid leak. Fill and bleed the hydraulic system, check for fluid leaks, and repair or replace any leaking components.
Additional information: Hydraulic issues can impact clutch performance.
What action should you take if the clutch does not operate properly?
Follow the ‘Clutch Control Switch Check’ instructions.
Additional information: Proper clutch operation is crucial for the vehicle’s performance.
How can you determine if the clutch is slipping?
Locate the description of the problem in the following tables to correct the defect.
Example: Clutch slipping can be caused by various factors like wear or contamination.
What should you do if there is no continuity when the clutch pedal is depressed on pins A and C?
Replace the clutch control switch.
Additional information: Lack of continuity indicates a faulty clutch control switch.
How do you check for hydraulic leaks in the clutch actuation system?
Have an assistant press down on the clutch pedal while checking the hydraulic system for leaks.
Example: Checking for leaks in the hydraulic system is essential for maintaining clutch performance.
What should you do if hydraulic leaks are discovered in the clutch actuation system?
Repair any hydraulic leaks as needed.
Additional information: Hydraulic leaks can lead to clutch malfunctions.
How do you check the action of the clutch pedal?
Press the pedal all the way to the floor several times and observe its action.
Example: Checking the clutch pedal action helps identify any issues with the clutch system.
What should you do if the clutch pedal is unusually hard to operate?
Identify the possible cause and remedy the issue accordingly.
Additional information: A hard-to-operate clutch pedal can indicate underlying problems in the clutch system.
