Question 1 |
The thermostat on a mid efficiency gas furnace with a hot surface ignition system is placed on a call for heat. The burners do not light, but the igniter does glow. Which of the following would be the next step to take when troubleshooting the system?
A | Test the flame sensor |
B | Test the gas valve and gas manifold pressure |
C | Test the primary limit control and the fan control |

Question 2 |
The draft pressure switch on a mid efficiency furnace is not allowing the ignition system to energize. Which of the following is a possible problem?
A | A dirty filter |
B | A defective indoor blower |
C | A defective induced draft motor |
D | A defective flame rollout sensor |
Question 3 |
A high efficiency gas furnace will not stay in operation. The unit runs for approximately 5 min then is shut down by the main furnace controller with an open pressure switch flash code. Which of the following is not a proper test to perform in this situation?
A | Check the induced draft motor |
B | Check the furnace filter |
C | Check for a restricted flue pipe |
D | Both A and C |
Question 4 |
A service call is made on a mid efficiency furnace. On a call for heat, the induced draft motor will not operate. What is the proper troubleshooting procedure that should be taken?
A | Check for control voltage at the O and C terminals at the circuit board |
B | Check for control voltage across terminals W and C at the circuit board |
C | Check control voltage at the induced draft relay |
D | Both B and C |
Question 5 |
A high efficiency furnace that uses a furnace controller will not energize the blower motor after a preselected 45s “time on” setting. Which of the following would be the most correct troubleshooting procedure?
A | Measure the resistance across the furnace controller low speed terminal and common |
B | Measure the resistance across the furnace controller high speed terminal and common |
C | Measure voltage to the motor and test the run capacitor |
D | Measure amperage to the blower motor and test the run capacitor |
Question 6 |
When servicing a mid efficiency furnace, the thermostat has been turned to the off position, but the burners remain lit, and the induced draft motor continues to operate. Which of the following would be the most correct troubleshooting procedure?
A | Determine if the thermostat is open and check voltage at the gas valve |
B | Check for voltage at the indoor blower motor |
C | Replace the control module |
D | Check the ignition system |
Question 7 |
On a high efficiency furnace that uses a furnace controller, the indoor blower motor will not de energize after it’s preselected “off delay” setting. Which of the following is a logical repair for the system?
A | Replace the run capacitor |
B | Replace the blower motor |
C | Replace the control module |
D | Change the speed settings on the control module |
Question 8 |
The burners on a furnace cycle for approximately 3 to 4 min. during a call for heat, the system does not provide adequate heat for the home. Tech A has determined that a new thermostat has been installed and the heat anticipator was incorrectly adjusted. Tech B cleans and positions the flame sensor and claims this was the fault. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 9 |
A gas furnace has been recently converted to LPG gas on a call for heat, the furnace is not firing correctly and is starting to soot up. What would be the most likely cause for this problem?
A | Low LPG pressure |
B | Too long of a burner cycle |
C | Wrong orifice size installed |
D | All of the above |
Question 10 |
When inspecting a gas furnace, it is noticed that the burner flames are very small in height. What action should be taken by the technician?
A | Replace the gas valve |
B | Replace the orifices |
C | Check gas pressures and adjust primary air shutters if needed |
D | Contact the utility company to replace the gas meter |
Question 11 |
A customer is experiencing loud, delayed ignitions from his furnace. Tech A says that it’s possible that the gas valve is not opening or closing properly. Tech B claims that it’s possible that after the furnace had been cleaned, the burners were not properly aligned. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both techs are correct |
D | Both techs are incorrect |
Question 12 |
A customer called in complaining that his indoor blower would not stop running. What is the most possible cause of this problem?
A | A defective blower motor run capacitor |
B | Contacts stuck open on the fan control |
C | Contacts stuck closed on the fan control |
D | Both a and c |
Question 13 |
After diagnosing a no heat call, it has been determined that the induced draft motor is not operating. Tech A claims that it is the fault of an induced draft pressure switch. Tech B states that the indoor blower relay module is defective. Which tech is correct?
A | Tech A |
B | Tech B |
C | Both tech A and B are correct |
D | Both tech A and B are incorrect |
Question 14 |
The burners on a gas fired furnace are continuously lit, and setting the thermostat to the “off” position makes no difference. What is a possible problem for this fault?
A | A defective gas valve |
B | A defective fan control |
C | A limit control stuck in the closed position |
D | A shorted secondary winding on the transformer |
Question 15 |
A customer complains that she has no heat and that the furnace does nothing at all. She says that it is a mid efficiency furnace with an induced draft motor and spark ignition system. Which of the following would be a likely place to start troubleshooting?
A | Check the fan door switch |
B | Check for a blown fuse |
C | Check for a defective furnace switch |
D | All of the above |
Question 16 |
On a hot surface ignition system, the igniter does not glow. What would be the most likely cause of this fault?
A | A bad flame sensor |
B | A bad gas valve |
C | A bad closed pressure switch |
D | A bad igniter |
Question 17 |
On a spark ignition system, the spark is occurring but its pilot will not light. Which of the following would you check?
A | Test terminals PV and MV/PV for 24 v |
B | Test for continuity of PV coil |
C | Test for gas to the pilot line |
D | All of the above |
Question 18 |
The thermocouple of a furnace has just been replaced, but the pilot light continues to go out. What test should a tech perform next?
A | Ensure that the pilot flame is engulfing the tip of the thermocouple by 3/8” |
B | Test continuity of the main valve |
C | Test for voltage to the main gas valve |
D | Check for an open limit control |
Question 19 |
An existing thermocouple has been tested with a millivolt meter and has registered at 13 millivolts. Which of the following would be the correct action to take?
A | Make sure that the thermostat is calling for heat |
B | Replace the thermocouple |
C | Replace the pilot gas valve |
D | There is no problem with the thermocouple, and it should be left alone |
Question 20 |
What is an acceptable voltage of a thermocouple?
A | 30 millivolts |
B | 20 millivolts |
C | 10 millivolts |
D | 5 millivolts |
