Electric power steering does not require power steering fluid. Below is an introduction to automotive power steering fluid: 1. Introduction: Automotive power steering fluid is a special liquid used in the power steering pump of a vehicle's power steering system. Through hydraulic action, it makes the steering wheel very light and easy for the driver to control the driving direction. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the power steering system automatically provides assistance, reducing the driver's steering effort. The power steering fluid is a medium oil added to the power steering system, which plays a role in transmitting steering force and cushioning. 2. Classification: Common types of power steering fluid include brake power steering fluid, steering power steering fluid, clutch power steering fluid, etc.

What Causes High RPM When the AC is On?

High RPM when the AC is on can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Engine control logic error, unable to receive the AC activation signal: When the system cannot determine whether the AC is on, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) mistakenly interprets it as a temporary high load and attempts to compensate for idle resistance by increasing RPM. When the engine RPM drops, it cannot handle the load from the AC compressor, causing it to increase RPM again. This back-and-forth results in unstable idle. 2. AC control circuit error, unable to send the AC activation signal: Similar to the first point, since the system cannot determine the AC's status, the ECU continuously adjusts the idle RPM, leading to unstable idle. 3. AC circuit malfunction, causing intermittent AC operation: When the AC is off, the AC compressor belt runs without load, so it does not affect the engine load. However, intermittent operation of the AC compressor forces the engine to continuously adjust idle RPM, resulting in unstable idle.

What are the reasons why the Haval H2 cannot start?

Haval H2 one-button start not responding is generally due to the following reasons: Smart key battery is low; car battery voltage is insufficient, dead, or damaged; gear not returned to P/S position when parking; improper operation. Function of one-button start: The one-button start device is part of a smart car, a button device that simplifies the starting process and can also turn off the engine. This device can be retrofitted at the original car key lock position or as an independent panel. Starting method of one-button start: The starting method is software-based one-button start. There are three main points to note when installing a car one-button start system (the wiring plug under the ignition switch, the position of the button, and the handling of the steering lock), and it has multiple functions.

Why does the brake make noise when not pressed but not when pressed?

The reasons why the brake makes noise when not pressed but not when pressed are as follows: 1. New pads installed on old rotors—old rotors usually have grooves, and the new pads may contact the upper and lower edges of the old rotor, causing noise. Solution: Chamfer the edges of the brake pads or resurface the rotor to resolve the issue. 2. New pads installed on new rotors—if the new rotor or new pad has excessive unevenness, poor bedding-in between the rotor and pad, or uneven wear on one side, it may cause noise. Solution: After using the brakes for some time, the rotor and pad will bed in properly. If the unevenness is severe, reinstallation may be required. 3. Poor retraction of the brake caliper, causing drag and premature volatilization of the organic material in the brake pads, leading to noise after some use. Solution: Inspect and maintain the caliper, check if the brake pads are intact, and replace them if they are burnt.
