Glossary Chart Codes For Car Repair by AutoReportNG2: 4:45pm On Feb 22, 2017 |
This car repair term abbreviation table has been created by ASE certified mechanics to help you understand the acronyms of the automotive industry. Though many manufactures have there own set of acronyms these are the most common. If the following definition does not make sense visit more research must be done using the manufactures name along with the abbreviation. Most of these definitions have to do with various sensors and switches used in today's car. CAR TERM ABBREVIATION LIST A A - Amperes ABS - Anti-Lock Brakes ABRS - Air Bag Restraint System AC - Alternating Current A/C - Air Conditioning ACCS - A/C Cycling Switch ACCUM - Accumulator ACCY - Accessory ACT - Air Charge Temperature Sensor ADJ - Adjust or Adjustable ADV - Advance AFS - Airflow Sensor A/F - Air/Fuel Ratio AI - Air Injection AIR or A.I.R. - Air Injection Reactor AIS - Air Injection System Alt. - Alternator or Altitude ALDL - Assembly Line Data Link Amp - /amp/amps: Ampere APS - Absolute Pressure Sensor ASCS - Air Suction Control Solenoid ASD - Auto Shutdown ASDM - Air Bag System Diagnostic Module ASV - Air Suction Valve A/T - Automatic Transmission/Transaxle ATC - Automatic Temperature Control ATDC - After Top Dead Center ATF - Automatic Transmission Fluid ATS - Air Temperature Sensor AWD - All Wheel Drive Aux. - Auxiliary Avg. - Average AXOD - Automatic Transaxle Overdrive (Ford Models Only) B B+ - Battery Positive Voltage BAC - By-Pass Air Control BAP - Barometric Absolute Pressure Sensor BARO - Barometric Batt. - Battery Bbl. - Barrel (Example: 4-Bbl.)
