How to deal with the failure to start a Haval H6?
2 Answers
If your Haval H6 fails to start, it is recommended to check the battery and electrical circuits. When troubleshooting, the first step is to read the fault codes. The reasons why a Haval H6 may not start are as follows: 1. The fuel is exhausted, and the fuel gauge shows below the red line, naturally making it impossible to start. 2. The battery is dead, possibly due to reasons such as leaving the headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, DVD players, etc., can also cause vehicle circuit failures. 3. Incorrect gear position. When starting an automatic transmission vehicle, the gear must be in the P or N position. If it is in the R or D position, the vehicle will not start.
Last time I encountered a situation where my Haval H6 wouldn't start, and a step-by-step troubleshooting approach proved very effective. First, check if there are any flashing lights on the dashboard. If there's no light at all, it's likely the battery is dead—try jump-starting it with a neighbor's car. If the dashboard lights are normal but there's no response when attempting to start, remember to check if the gear is in P or N position—automatic transmissions won't start if placed incorrectly. Then, listen for sounds: if you hear clicking but the engine doesn't turn over, the starter might be stuck; try gently tapping it with a rubber hammer a few times. If the starter spins quickly but the car doesn't fire up, the fuel pump might have failed—try turning the key to the 'on' position and listen for the fuel pump's humming sound. Lastly, don't forget about key fob issues—replacing the battery might just solve the problem. If none of these methods work, don't force it—calling a tow truck for professional repair is the safest option.
