Methods to resolve the P2178 fault code: 1. The P2178 fault code indicates that the system (air-fuel ratio) is too rich when leaving idle. Possible causes include a faulty mass airflow sensor or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, excessively high fuel pressure, a faulty fuel pressure regulator, faulty fuel injectors, a faulty oxygen sensor, or a faulty electronic control module (PCM or ECM). It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected at a 4S shop before clearing the fault code; 2. A car fault code is a code generated by the vehicle's computer (ECU) after analyzing a fault. Most fault codes are caused by sensor malfunctions or poor sensor performance, but some mechanical faults cannot be read by the ECU; 3. When a car engine develops a fault, the diagnostic computer will display the fault code after scanning. Using this code, the technician can accurately identify the faulty component and proceed with repairs.

What does an 'i' inside the dashboard circle mean?

An 'i' inside the dashboard circle indicates that the handbrake is engaged. The functions of the handbrake are: 1. When parking, pulling up the handbrake keeps the vehicle stationary, preventing it from rolling downhill; 2. While driving, pulling up the handbrake during a turn can create a drifting effect; 3. In emergency situations, the handbrake can be used as a brake. The consequences of driving with the handbrake engaged are: 1. Accelerated wear of the brake disc and hardening of the brake pads due to overheating, leading to reduced braking performance; 2. Excessive wear of the handbrake brake pads, potentially causing damage to the drive shaft; 3. Locking of the rear wheels and snapping of the handbrake cable, which may result in skidding or rollover.
