When the positive and negative terminal lights of the vehicle are illuminated, it indicates a malfunction in the car's charging system, and the vehicle should not be driven. The possible causes of this issue are as follows: 1. Generator Belt: If the generator belt is aged, carbonized on the surface, or has insufficient tension, it may slip and produce abnormal noises, causing the generator to lose rotation and trigger the warning light. 2. Damaged Generator Bearing: A damaged generator bearing can lead to idling, and the rotor and stator of the generator may come into contact, causing friction and overheating. In such cases, the bearing needs to be replaced. 3. Battery Connection Wires: If the battery connection wires are loose or corroded, they should be reconnected securely if the issue is poor contact. However, if the wires are corroded, they must be replaced.

How to Park When Waiting at a Traffic Light?

Here are the parking methods for manual and automatic transmission cars when waiting at a traffic light: 1. Automatic transmission traffic light parking method: For short stops, such as encountering a brief red light at an intersection, simply press the brake. However, if the stop lasts more than 2 minutes, shift to N (Neutral) gear to protect the transmission and prevent the transmission fluid from overheating. If the stop exceeds 5 minutes, it's best to turn off the engine and shift to P (Park) gear, which is both environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient. 2. Manual transmission traffic light parking method: When waiting at a red light with a manual transmission, the first step is to stop before the crosswalk, then shift to neutral, engage the handbrake, and bring the car to a complete stop. Never leave it in first gear. Then, release the clutch with your left foot to give it a brief rest.

What to Do When the Oil Light on the Dashboard Comes On?

When a yellow light on the dashboard comes on during vehicle use, it indicates that the vehicle's engine requires maintenance or servicing. Generally, it is necessary to promptly visit a vehicle repair shop for maintenance or servicing. If a red light comes on, immediately go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair, as the fault is very serious. Reasons why the oil indicator light on the car dashboard comes on: 1. Excessive oil viscosity: The viscosity of the oil is closely related to its quality. The higher the viscosity, the stronger the oil's resistance to high temperatures, and vice versa. However, higher viscosity is not always better; the oil grade should match the engine. 2. Insufficient oil volume: If the oil volume is insufficient, the oil pump's pumping capacity will decrease, or it may fail to pump oil due to air entering, leading to a drop in oil pressure. This can cause increased wear on the crankshaft and bearings, as well as the cylinder liners and pistons, due to poor lubrication. 3. Malfunction of the oil bypass valve: The oil bypass valve maintains normal oil pressure in the main oil passage. If its pressure-regulating spring softens or is improperly adjusted, or if the valve seat and steel ball's mating surface wears out or gets stuck and fails to close tightly, the oil pressure will decrease.

How to Find the Engine Number of a Car?

The engine number is usually found on the outer surface of the engine block, or on the vehicle's nameplate or the nameplate inside the engine compartment. You can also check the engine number on the car purchase invoice; the factory certificate includes the engine number; for commercial vehicles, the operation permit can be used to check the engine number; the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate contains the engine number; the public security authority's registration records have the engine number; the vehicle insurance card lists the engine number; the simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's administrative green book or the vehicle registration certificate. The engine number is like a person's ID number, representing each vehicle. It stores very important information about the vehicle. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the attributes of the engine, for a batch of identical products. It indicates information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power, etc. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer, model, and production number of the engine. It is important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, refers to the production number of the engine, with each engine having a unique number that is different from all others. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed and must be approved and filed by the industry standard's regulatory body. Middle part: Consists of the cylinder count symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. Rear part: Composed of structural feature symbols and usage feature symbols. Tail part: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed within the same product series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol. The rear part and the tail part can be separated by a hyphen (-).
