MITO Light Auto L5 study plan

Map the four-stroke cycle and label intake, compression, power, and exhaust events on a hand-drawn diagram, including valve timing relative to piston position

Distinguish gasoline and diesel combustion by ignition method, compression ratio range, and fuel delivery strategy, and state one diagnostic symptom unique to each

List the major components of a fuel, air, and exhaust path in order, and explain the function of each in one sentence

Calculate engine displacement and compression ratio from bore, stroke, and clearance volume figures for three worked examples

Compare manual, torque-converter automatic, continuously variable, and dual-clutch transmissions on power path, efficiency, and typical failure points

Trace torque flow through a final drive and differential and explain how gear ratio affects engine speed and wheel torque

Interpret three coolant and lubrication system symptoms (overheating, oil pressure warning, coolant loss) and rank their likely causes

Explain the role of the ECU in shift scheduling and fuel trim, and describe what a long-term fuel trim reading indicates

Identify the components of a MacPherson strut, double-wishbone, and torsion-beam suspension and state one alignment angle each affects

Explain camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle, and predict the handling or tire-wear symptom of a deviation in each

Describe the hydraulic and electric power steering architectures and list two failure symptoms for each

Label the parts of a disc and drum brake assembly and explain the function of the proportioning or ABS valve

Diagnose five brake fault scenarios (pulsation, pull, spongy pedal, drag, noise) by matching each to likely causes and a confirming test

Sequence a brake inspection procedure from wheel removal to measurement of pad, rotor, and drum wear against specification

Explain how to check and interpret brake fluid condition and why moisture contamination matters

Apply a structured diagnostic process to a chassis complaint, stating the symptom, hypothesis, test, and conclusion

Explain battery construction, state of charge, and how to perform a load test and parasitic draw test safely

Trace the starter and charging circuits from battery through relay, solenoid, and alternator, and describe a no-crank versus no-charge diagnosis

Demonstrate correct use of a multimeter for voltage, resistance, and current, and state when each measurement is appropriate

Interpret a basic wiring schematic, identify series and parallel circuits, and calculate resistance and current in two examples

Describe sensor and actuator roles for at least four common sensors and the signal type each produces

Build a preventive maintenance schedule covering fluids, filters, belts, and inspection intervals, and justify each interval

Explain how to read and act on diagnostic trouble codes, including the difference between a code and a root cause

Describe the steps of a road test and the observations to record for drivability, braking, and steering concerns

Select the correct measurement tool for five inspection tasks and state the acceptable tolerance check for each

Classify light automobiles by body style, drivetrain layout, and gross vehicle weight rating, and explain how classification affects inspection requirements

Identify the major vehicle systems and describe how each of the six exam domains connects to a single vehicle

List workshop hazards and the control measures for each, including lifting, fuel handling, and high-voltage precautions

Explain environmental compliance obligations for waste oil, coolant, refrigerants, and battery disposal

State the correct personal protective equipment and lockout practice for three workshop tasks

Review all six domains using a weighted checklist and log a confidence rating for each objective

Re-attempt missed practice items from weeks 1 through 7 and record the reason for each correction

Complete two timed mixed-domain practice sets and analyze error patterns by domain

Summarize the five weakest objectives into a final one-page revision sheet and recite it from memory
