What does it mean when the TC light in a car comes on?

The reasons for the TC light coming on in a car are: 1. The camshaft position actuator solenoid valve screen is dirty or damaged, affecting VVT operation; 2. The fuel pump filter screen is clogged, causing insufficient fuel pressure; 3. The throttle body is dirty or malfunctioning; 4. Other engine faults leading to reduced power and ESC warning. TC stands for Traction Control System in Chinese. When the ABS anti-lock braking system detects wheel slippage, it applies braking to the slipping wheel to prevent traction loss. The purpose of the TC system is to maintain the vehicle's intended trajectory in accordance with the driver's control inputs.

What is the composition of automotive windshield washer fluid formula?

Automotive windshield washer fluid formula: By mass, 60% water, 39% ethanol, 0.3% AEO, 0.2% LAS, and 0.5% other additives, mixed to produce automotive windshield cleaner, which appears as a blue transparent liquid with non-irritating ethanol odor and a nearly neutral pH value. The main components of dirt adhering to automotive glass are mud, dust, tree sap, insect resin, oil stains from gasoline/diesel combustion, residual polishing wax, insect remains, etc. Mud and dust can be washed away by water, so the main solvent in automotive windshield cleaner should be water. However, oil stains and animal/plant gums are difficult to remove with water alone, so organic solvents must be added to the cleaner to enhance its solubility for these contaminants.

Is it possible to have a vehicle inspected in a different location? What procedures are required?

Vehicle inspection in a different location is possible. The procedures for out-of-town vehicle inspection are as follows: 1. The applicant only needs to bring the compulsory insurance policy, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, vehicle registration certificate, and the owner's ID card to directly inspect the vehicle in a province other than the vehicle registration location; 2. Present the above documents at an inspection site with inspection qualifications for direct inspection. Starting from September 1, 2018, cross-provincial inspection for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses has been fully implemented. Applicants can directly inspect their vehicles in a province other than the vehicle registration location and apply for the inspection qualification mark without going through the entrusted inspection procedures. In the following cases, the entrusted issuance of the motor vehicle inspection qualification mark will not be approved: 1. The motor vehicle involves outstanding road traffic safety violations and accidents that have not been dealt with; 2. The motor vehicle applying for the entrusted issuance of the inspection qualification mark is a large passenger vehicle.

High Beam or Low Beam on the Highway?

Use high beam on the highway, but switch to low beam when the distance to the vehicle ahead is within 100 meters. Highway lighting choices: Under normal weather conditions, fog lights should not be turned on, whether during the day or at night. Additionally, when meeting oncoming traffic on roads without a median, you should slow down at a distance of about 150 meters and switch from high beam to low beam. If the oncoming vehicle does not switch to low beam, the driver should slow down and use the method of alternating between high and low beams to signal the oncoming driver. If the oncoming driver still does not change the lights, simply continue driving in your own lane. Lighting operation methods: To operate the lights, first ensure the vehicle is in the ignition-on state. Headlights, width lights, and other lights are controlled by the lighting control knob (or button) on the left side of the driver's seat. Turn signals are controlled by the lighting control lever on the left side of the steering wheel.

Is a 4-5 Month Old Car Considered a Stock Vehicle?

A car that has been in the factory for 4 to 5 months is considered a stock vehicle. There are no national regulations defining the number of months for a stock car, but generally, cars that have been in the factory for more than three months are referred to as stock vehicles. As a commodity, cars are bulky, expensive, and incur high storage costs, while also tying up a significant amount of a dealer's capital. Therefore, dealers generally do not allow vehicles to remain in stock for long periods. Due to the automotive industry's emphasis on timeliness, under normal circumstances, new cars can be completed from manufacturing to sale to buyers within one or two months. Hence, cars that have been in the factory for 1-2 months are not considered stock vehicles. For imported cars, due to factors such as transportation cycles, if they are six months or more from the production date, they can also be considered stock vehicles. For stock vehicles that have been sitting idle for months or even a year, most are stored in open-air parking lots, exposed to sun and rain without basic maintenance. As a result, various components such as engine oil, electronic parts, batteries, rubber seals, and tires are prone to aging due to moisture. New cars that have been in stock for less than a year can still be purchased, but it is advisable to request the 4S store to replace the original engine oil and check the production date of the tires. New tires older than two years face the risk of rubber aging, so it is also recommended to ask the 4S store to replace them. Quick methods to identify a stock vehicle are as follows: Check the production nameplate: Typically, there is a vehicle nameplate on the right side (passenger side) of the car, below the B-pillar, which displays the vehicle's production date, engine parameters, and other information. This can be directly viewed. Check the glass: The car glass will have the production date marked on it. The numbers indicate the year, and the black dots represent the month. If the dots are in front, subtract the number of dots from 7; if they are at the back, subtract from 13. The result gives the month. Check the tires: This may not always be 100% accurate in determining if a car is a stock vehicle, but the production date of the tires can provide a rough estimate of the manufacturing time. The four-digit code indicates the week (first two digits) and the year (last two digits).

What Causes a Motorcycle to Lose Power?

Motorcycle power loss is typically caused by mechanical failures or fuel system malfunctions. Below are the specific reasons: Mechanical Failures: Normal wear and tear during motorcycle usage can lead to a decline in power. Key components subject to regular wear in a motorcycle engine include valves, camshafts, rocker arms, piston rings, cylinders, and friction plates. Fuel System Malfunctions: Whether it's an electronic fuel injection system or a carburetor, regular cleaning is essential. Particularly, the air filter must be replaced or its filter element cleaned periodically. Failure to do so can result in reduced engine power and poor uphill performance.
