How high does the water level need to be to affect a sedan?
1 Answers
Water reaching just half of the wheel height can already affect a car. Here are relevant details about water-damaged vehicles: 1. Concept: Refers to cars that couldn't be moved in time by owners during heavy rains and were submerged for extended periods in underground garages or low-lying areas. 2. Hazards: Causes damage to the vehicle's internal electronic control systems. The mixed rainwater is highly corrosive, affecting electrical functions, especially future usage. Since most modern cars are equipped with electronic control systems, water exposure can lead to short circuits in the ECU's internal IC circuit boards and rust formation on connector terminals. This gradually causes metal components to corrode and creates poor circuit connections. In severe cases, it may even result in short circuits and burning.
