Exam 22: Hybrid Transmissions

The Honda ____________system can be used with a conventional automatic transmission, a manual transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

In a hybrid vehicle, during which stroke of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) does the electric motor creates less torque.

Which function uses a small, electric transmission hydraulic pump that prevents a delay in the engagement of the transmission?

Most hybrid vehicles use regenerative braking to ensure that not all of the energy that was used to accelerate the vehicle is lost during braking.

Toyota and Lexus series-parallel hybrids use a transaxle that contains two electric motor/generators, a final drive gear set, a differential, and planetary gear set.

Which of these systems uses an electric motor with an ICE so that the overall displacement of the ICE can be reduced?

In Mode 1 of a two-mode hybrid, the electric motor/generators, in combination with the planetary gear sets, allow the transmission to operate as a type of ________, keeping the engine operating in its most efficient rpm range.

Which of the following is NOT a function of a hybrid vehicle?

Technician A says the electronic continuously variable transmission is used in Toyota and Ford hybrid vehicles. Technician B says the variable-diameter pulley continuously variable transmission (CVT) is the most common type of CVT being used in vehicles today. Who is correct?

Technician A says that all high-voltage cables on a hybrid vehicle are wrapped in high-visibility pink plastic for easy identification. Technician B says that all high-voltage cables are wrapped in orange plastic for easy identification. Who is correct?

Automotive hybrid vehicle arrangements, such as diesel-electric hybrids and fuel cell electric hybrids, are now available from major automotive manufacturers.

Technician A says torque assist refers to using electric motor torque to slow the vehicle when needed. Technician B says an electric motor is capable of creating its maximum torque as soon as it begins spinning. Who is correct?

A ________ drive system is defined as a system that uses two or more power sources, such as an internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric motor, to propel the vehicle.

Technician A says vehicles with continuously variable transmissions are becoming more common. Technician B says a hybrid drive system system uses two or more power sources. Who is correct?

Technician A says all hybrid vehicles use continuously variable transmissions (CVT). Technician B says a system that uses two or more power sources is a hybrid drive system. Who is correct?

When a driver presses on the accelerator pedal in a hybrid vehicle, the PCM commands the ________ to apply electricity to the electric motor until the vehicle reaches speeds up to approximately 40 miles per hour (64 kilometers per hour).

Two technicians are discussing Toyota and Lexus hybrids. Technician A says Toyota and Lexus hybrids use a power-splitting device that could be considered a type of CVT. Technician B says these types of hybrids use voltages from 200 to 650 volts, depending on the application. Who is correct?

What is used to prevent a delay in the engagement of the transmission when the hybrid vehicle engine is restarted from idle stop?

Which of the following manufacturers uses a set of transfer gears inside their series-parallel hybrid transaxle to connect the two electric motors/generators to the internal combustion engine (ICE)?

Technician A says that two-mode hybrid transmissions can use two electric motors to propel the vehicle. Technician B says that the two-mode hybrid transmission can use one motor to propel the vehicle and one to charge the battery. Who is correct?
