New energy vehicles are afraid of being flooded. Here is some extended information: 1. New energy vehicles have better wading and sealing capabilities than fuel-powered vehicles, making them theoretically safer to drive in rainy weather. However, prolonged driving wear can also cause damage to some sealing components, potentially reducing the IP67 waterproofing capability. Therefore, vehicles should not be submerged in water for extended periods, as water ingress into the battery and circuits is possible, and the corrosive nature of rainwater may also damage the vehicle's interior. 2. If the vehicle has already been flooded, you should immediately leave the flooded area and then clean out the accumulated water inside the vehicle. If the vehicle can no longer continue to operate and is stuck in a flooded area, the power supply should be cut off immediately.

How to Read a Tire Pressure Gauge?

The method to read a tire pressure gauge is as follows: 1. The tire pressure gauge has two scales, one is in imperial units (pounds per square inch), and the other is in metric units (kilograms per square centimeter); 2. Observe where the pointer points to determine the pressure. The hazards of overinflated tires include: 1. Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance and tire lifespan; 2. Decreased resistance to punctures, increasing the risk of a blowout; 3. Accelerated wear on the central tread pattern, reducing tire lifespan, increasing vehicle vibration, and affecting the lifespan of other components; 4. Excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the tire while driving, thereby decreasing puncture resistance; 5. Increased susceptibility to punctures from sharp objects like nails or glass, leading to internal cracks or blowouts upon impact.

What are the symptoms of a failed charcoal canister?

Symptoms of a failed charcoal canister include: abnormal driving noise, jerking during sudden acceleration, noticeable gasoline odor, weak acceleration, fluctuating engine idle speed, engine stalling, and difficulty starting. The functions of the charcoal canister are: 1. To reduce gasoline evaporation from the fuel tank and carburetor; 2. To absorb fuel particles through active materials inside the canister. The principle of the charcoal canister is that after the engine is turned off, gasoline vapor mixes with fresh air inside the canister and is stored in the activated charcoal canister. When the engine starts, the solenoid valve between the activated charcoal canister and the intake manifold opens, allowing the gasoline vapor in the activated charcoal canister to be drawn into the cylinder by clean air under the vacuum of the intake pipe for combustion.

What is the method for testing the quality of the carbon canister solenoid valve?

The method for testing the quality of the carbon canister solenoid valve is: 1. When the vehicle experiences fuel pump nozzle tripping during refueling, the carbon canister is filled with gasoline, there is weak acceleration, jerking, unstable idle speed fluctuating up and down; 2. If the engine stalls and cannot start, or there are abnormal noises while driving, it indicates that the carbon canister solenoid valve is damaged. The solutions for a damaged carbon canister solenoid valve are: 1. Clean the fuel tank exhaust system; 2. Clean or replace the carbon canister solenoid valve. The working principle of the carbon canister solenoid valve is: It controls the purging function of the carbon canister through pulse width modulation. The ECU computer, based on different engine operating conditions, grounds the solenoid valve circuit at a certain frequency to open or close it. The ECU computer controls the vacuum purging of the carbon canister by operating the normally closed solenoid valve.

How long does it take to charge a car battery after jump-starting?

After jump-starting a car with a dead battery, it needs to be charged for 2 to 3 hours. The maintenance methods for the battery are: 1. Charge the battery promptly when the ammeter indicates insufficient power; 2. Adjust the electrolyte density according to the standards for different regions and seasons; 3. Add distilled water or a special replenishing fluid when the electrolyte is low; 4. The total duration of starting the car each time should not exceed 5 seconds; 5. If the battery is not used for a long time, start the car periodically; 6. Regularly check if the small holes on the battery cover are ventilated; 7. Inspect the positive and negative terminals for oxidation; 8. Check all parts of the circuit for aging or short circuits.
