Does Keyless Start Require Self-Check?
2 Answers
Keyless start does not require self-check. Keyless Start: The Keyless Start System (Keyless-Start-System) allows you to start the vehicle without inserting or turning a key. Simply keep the key in your bag or pocket and press the button inside the car to ignite the engine. This provides greater convenience and enhances the sense of luxury and technology. Introduction to Vehicle Self-Check: Most vehicles are equipped with a self-diagnostic system. It automatically checks the working status of various components in the transmission and control systems. When a fault occurs, the warning light on the dashboard will flash to alert the driver. Pressing a button will display the fault code on the dashboard.
I've run an auto repair shop for twenty years, and many car owners have asked about this. Keyless start vehicles certainly need a self-check, just like the dashboard lights flashing when turning the key in older cars. When you get in the car, don't rush to press the brake—first press the start button twice. At this point, you'll hear the fuel pump whirring, and all the warning lights on the dashboard will light up for about six or seven seconds before turning off. This is the computer checking critical components like the engine, airbags, and ABS. Especially during cold winter starts, wait until the temperature gauge starts moving before pressing the brake to ignite—it's much better for engine protection. I've seen many people rush to start and drive off immediately, only to end up with cracked catalytic converters. It's just not worth it.
