Guadalupe Mcneil · Answer 1

Technician B

Explanation:

on-board self-diagnostics test mode procedures should be conducted on a warm engine since many DTCs only monitor in closed loop. Therefore, technician A is wrong. Many DTCs will monitor items only when the engine control system is in closed loop. Closed loop operation requires the engine to reach a certain operating temperature before it can be entered. Therefore, technician B is correct.
