The three-way catalytic converter warning light cannot be permanently eliminated. When the vehicle's three-way catalytic converter is functioning properly, the warning light will not illuminate. If the light comes on, it indicates a fault in the three-way catalytic converter, requiring inspection and repair. Below is relevant information about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Function of the Three-Way Catalytic Converter: It converts harmful gases emitted by the engine into harmless carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water, which are then expelled from the vehicle. The three-way catalytic converter is a crucial component of the vehicle. If damaged, it can lead to excessive emissions, reduced vehicle performance, and increased fuel consumption. 2. Symptoms of a Faulty Three-Way Catalytic Converter: (1) Clogging of the three-way catalytic converter can cause poor exhaust flow, leading to decreased power and increased fuel consumption. (2) Difficulty in engine ignition or the formation of carbon deposits due to incomplete combustion of gasoline. (3) Increased odor from the exhaust and possible abnormal exhaust noises.

How to Fix an Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction?

Electronic parking brake malfunctions typically manifest as either the inability to engage or release the brake. Solutions include: 1. If the electronic parking brake fails to engage, try restarting the vehicle and attempting again. If unsuccessful, a detailed inspection or repair at a repair shop or 4S store is necessary; 2. If the electronic parking brake cannot be released, rendering the vehicle immobile—a relatively rare scenario—call for roadside assistance; 3. If the malfunction occurs after replacing the rear brake pads, it is advisable to visit a repair shop or 4S store for a recalibration of the electronic braking system. For other faults, inspect the circuit at the fuse or electronic parking brake switch. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking brake functionality through electronic control, operating on the same principle as mechanical handbrakes by utilizing friction between the brake disc and pads to control parking braking, with the only difference being the shift from a lever-operated handbrake to an electronic button control.

Is Car Armor Useful?

Car armor is useful as it provides better protection for the vehicle's chassis and offers some sound insulation. Car armor, also known as chassis armor, is technically referred to as automotive chassis anti-collision, anti-rust, and sound insulation coating. It is not actual armor but a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating applied to the car's chassis, typically 2mm to 4mm thick. The functions of chassis armor include: 1. Anti-corrosion: It effectively resists corrosion from sewage, oil stains, and other substances on chassis components, extending their lifespan. 2. Anti-friction: Chassis armor can withstand minor undercarriage scrapes and reduce the impact and friction from small stones and debris kicked up during high-speed driving. 3. Noise reduction: Due to the rubber asphalt coating and its thickness, it can partially isolate noise transmitted from the chassis.

What Causes Manual Transmission Vehicle Shaking During Start-Up?

Reasons for manual transmission vehicle shaking during start-up: 1. Normal phenomenon: When the clutch is released to the semi-engaged position, the vehicle may exhibit shaking, known as the car's creeping phenomenon. If starting on a slight slope without applying throttle, the shaking will be more noticeable; 2. Driver issue: Improper coordination between throttle and clutch, either insufficient throttle application or too rapid clutch release. The solution is to apply some throttle before fully releasing the clutch, which improves power delivery, makes starting easier, and reduces shaking; 3. Vehicle malfunction: Problems in any of the three systems - intake system, ignition system, or fuel system - can cause shaking during start-up. Examples include uneven engine cylinder operation due to poor fuel delivery, uneven operation from dirty throttle body restricting airflow, damaged high-tension wires or faulty spark plugs, and unstable engine operation.

Why is there water dripping under the car?

Reasons for water dripping under the car: 1. If it occurs after running the air conditioning for a while, it is a normal phenomenon. This happens because moisture in the cabin condenses on the evaporator and forms water droplets, which are then drained outside the car through a collection tray and drain pipe; 2. It could be due to a damaged windshield washer fluid pipe caused by scraping the undercarriage—simply replace it at a repair shop; 3. If the water is colored, it indicates a leak in the cooling system, which should be inspected and repaired. Inspection and troubleshooting methods: 1. Check if the coolant level in the radiator is low, inspect the cooling system pipes for looseness or damage, and look for any undercarriage scratches at the bottom of the radiator; 2. Ensure the coolant reservoir is not overfilled (overflow may occur when temperatures rise); 3. Check the windshield washer fluid reservoir, pipes, and connections for looseness or damage.
