Transmission fluid level can be checked using the transmission dipstick. Introduction to transmission fluid: Transmission fluid, also known as gear oil, is a type of transmission lubricant used for lubricating various gears in the transmission, reduction gearbox, and differential. It helps prevent gear surface wear, sintering, and other issues, prolongs service life, and improves power transmission efficiency. Operating in relatively low-temperature environments, transmission fluid is strongly alkaline. Transmission fluid replacement cycle: Generally, automatic transmission vehicles require transmission fluid replacement every 3-4 years or when the mileage reaches 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Manual transmission vehicles may need earlier replacement, and specific intervals can be referred to in the vehicle maintenance manual. Exceeding these time or mileage limits will significantly reduce the lubrication effectiveness of the transmission fluid, and the transmission temperature will correspondingly increase during operation.

Why does the car feel sluggish and slow to accelerate?

Here are the reasons why the car feels sluggish and slow to accelerate: Carbon buildup in the engine. Carbon deposits blocking the intake valves can affect the amount of air intake. Reduced air intake with unchanged fuel injection leads to fuel wastage and decreased power. Spark plugs need replacement. If the spark plug electrode gap widens, severe carbon buildup occurs, or part of the electrode burns away, it can result in insufficient ignition energy. Insufficient energy leads to improper ignition timing, delayed ignition, incomplete combustion, increased fuel consumption, faster carbon buildup, and reduced power. Clogged intake or fuel system. Typically, this happens when the air filter or fuel filter is not replaced for a long time, becoming too dirty and causing restricted air intake or fuel supply, which in turn reduces power.

What does BCM failure mean?

BCM failure refers to a Body Control Module malfunction. The inspection method involves connecting the ADC input port to the input of a comparator, with the comparator circuit's output linked to the MCU's interrupt capture IO port. If a rising edge interrupt is detected, it indicates a short circuit fault. Below is an introduction to BCM: 1. The Body Control Module, abbreviated as BCM, in automotive engineering refers to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) used to control the vehicle's body electrical systems. It is one of the essential components of a car. 2. Common functions of the Body Control Module include controlling power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, headlights, turn signals, anti-theft locking systems, central locking, and defrosting devices. The BCM can connect with other vehicle ECUs via a bus.
