Q1. A service manager at a fleet garage in Regina is approving a new bulk drum of synthetic automatic transmission fluid for the lube room, which sits beside the parts washer and a space heater. Before the drum is moved in, an apprentice is asked to find the product's fire data on the WHMIS 2015 Safety Data Sheet. Which section lists the flash point, autoignition temperature and flammability limits?
Worked Explanation: On a WHMIS 2015 (GHS) Safety Data Sheet, flash point, autoignition temperature, vapour pressure and flammability limits are listed in Section 9, Physical and Chemical Properties. Section 5 covers how to fight a fire, Section 2 the hazard classes and pictograms, and Section 8 exposure limits and PPE.
Q2. You need a replacement BCM for a car built in June 2025 with push-button start and no heated steering wheel. The parts catalogue lists: part 101, built up to March 2025, key start; part 102, built up to March 2025, push-button start; part 103, built from April 2025, key or push-button start, without heated wheel; part 104, built from April 2025, with heated wheel. Which part fits this car?
Worked Explanation: The car was built in June 2025, so only the parts listed from April 2025 apply. It has no heated wheel, so part 103 fits. Part 102 is for cars built up to March 2025, and part 104 is for cars with a heated wheel; a newer number is not a replacement unless the catalogue says it supersedes. Part 101 is for key start up to March 2025.
Q3. A compact car with column-mounted electric power steering drifts left on a level road, and the wheel pulls left when released. Alignment and tire pressures are in spec, and swapping the front tires changes nothing. Parked with the engine running and hands off the wheel, the scan tool shows steering torque at 2.1 N·m to the left and the EPS motor giving left assist; the service information says 0 ± 0.3 N·m. What is the most likely cause?
Worked Explanation: With hands off, the torque sensor should read 0 ± 0.3 N·m. A 2.1 N·m reading makes the module add left assist, which steers the car left. Stability control does not brake a wheel while the car is parked, a binding joint or low voltage does not create a torque reading with hands off, and the tire swap ruled out the tires.
