Only early-production purely mechanical cars do not require chips. Modern cars do need chips. Below is an introduction to automotive-related content: Automotive Chips: Automotive-grade chips, automotive components. Automotive-grade refers to the specification standards applicable to automotive electronic components. Relevant Policies: On March 1, 2021, Chen Hong, a National People's Congress representative and Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of SAIC Group, focused on independent innovation in intelligent connected vehicles, proposed the "Proposal on Improving the Domestic Production Rate of Automotive-grade Chips to Enhance the Autonomous and Controllable Capability of the Domestic Automotive Supply Chain," as well as the "Proposal on Strengthening Automotive Data Security and Privacy Protection in the Digital Ecological Environment." With an eye on green and low-carbon transformation and development, he also proposed the "Proposal on Accelerating Policy Support for the Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Industry to Assist the Green and Low-carbon Development of the Automotive Sector," and the "Proposal on Improving the Policy System for the 'Battery-Swapping' Business Model of New Energy Vehicles."

What is the Volkswagen air conditioning channel number?

Volkswagen air conditioning channel numbers are 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13. Meaning of each number: Number 0 indicates the AC switch is ON (air conditioning is activated), number 7 indicates the AC switch is OFF or there is a switch/signal malfunction. Number 1 represents low air conditioning pipeline pressure, while number 2 indicates high pipeline pressure. Number 5 means the ignition switch is ON, AC switch is ON, but engine speed is zero. Number 6 represents ECON mode with heater activated. Number 12 indicates rapid acceleration/engine starting state where air conditioning won't cool. Number 13 means the system detects low voltage and will shut down the air conditioning. Function of automotive channel numbers: Automotive channel numbers allow technicians to input specified values during maintenance for quick basic settings, making fault diagnosis more convenient.

Why does an automatic transmission always start in 2nd gear?

Automatic transmission always starting in 2nd gear is caused by a faulty transmission separator. Here is an introduction about the transmission: Introduction: The transmission, also known as a gearbox, is an automotive component used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, and can fixedly or stepwise change the transmission ratio between the output and input shafts. Function: It can be categorized into stepped, continuously variable, and integrated transmissions, with functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and changing gear ratios. Principle: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations; while automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

Is It Dangerous to Drive on the Highway After a Tire Repair?

Driving on the highway after a tire repair can be dangerous. Here is an introduction to tire repair: Introduction: The principle of car tire repair is to use glue for vulcanization (the bonding of rubber relies on vulcanization, including the combination of the tire tread and the tire body), so that the repair patch and the tire rubber layer fuse together to compensate for the hole. Usage: Cold repair glue can bond the patch and the tire without heating, so when repairing the tire, more glue is not necessarily better—just the right amount is sufficient. Hot repair is necessary because non-cold repair glue is used, and heating is required during the repair process to promote vulcanization, which is done using an electric iron-like device for heating.

What are the reasons for a diesel engine emitting black smoke and automatically shutting down?

The reasons for a diesel engine emitting black smoke and automatically shutting down are as follows: Poor diesel quality: The diesel used does not meet the standard performance requirements, leading to poor fuel combustion and black smoke. Blocked air intake: A blocked air intake cannot provide sufficient air during diesel combustion, resulting in incomplete combustion and black smoke from the diesel engine. Insufficient compression: Insufficient compression means the required pressure does not meet combustion requirements, worsening combustion conditions and causing black smoke. Changes in combustion environment: Long-term use of the diesel engine and other factors can alter the shape and volume of the combustion chamber, further reducing the quality of the fuel-air mixture, preventing the formation of a good mixture and worsening combustion conditions, leading to black smoke.
