Can a Flooded Car Be Driven?
1 Answers
Flooded cars can only be driven after being repaired. After a car is flooded, many electronic components may be damaged, rendering the vehicle inoperable. Key electronic components include the ECU, TCU, and various sensors—without these, the car cannot function properly. The ECU acts as the engine's brain, collecting various data and processing it to control the engine through actuators. Without the ECU, the engine cannot operate correctly. Similarly, if sensors fail, the ECU cannot gather necessary data, leading to engine malfunction. The TCU is the computer for the automatic transmission, which also collects data and controls gear shifts. Without the TCU, the transmission cannot shift properly, making the car undrivable.
