When my Honda CR-V shows the wrench light, I usually reset it myself. First, sit in the car, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine. Then press the TRIP button on the dashboard several times, and a wrench icon or maintenance menu will appear on the screen. Press and hold the TRIP button for about 5 seconds, and the light will turn off. After resetting, it will recalculate the mileage reminder for the next service. Remember, the wrench light indicates that the vehicle’s preset maintenance interval has been reached, such as an oil change reminder every 5,000 km. If you don’t reset it periodically, the light will stay on, possibly causing you to miss important maintenance. I recommend resetting it immediately after servicing to keep the system accurate. I usually do this when changing the oil myself, saving the hassle and cost of visiting a repair shop. Car maintenance is crucial for keeping the engine running smoothly and extending its lifespan.

Dealing with the wrench light is quite simple, let me share the steps. Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. Then use the TRIP button on the dashboard to switch to the maintenance interface, locate the wrench indicator, and hold the TRIP button for a few seconds until the light goes off. After resetting, it will restart the reminder cycle, ensuring you don't forget timely maintenance. Every time I do it myself, I find the process quick and it enhances my understanding of the car. The purpose of the wrench light is to remind you of regular checks, such as oil or filter changes. Ignoring it may lead to minor issues accumulating, like increased carbon deposits. I recommend learning to DIY to save extra costs while maintaining your car well. Regular maintenance not only saves money but also ensures driving safety, especially during long trips.

I've also encountered the wrench light issue on my CR-V, and resetting it is super easy. Turn the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. Then press the instrument button to enter the menu, navigate to the wrench icon, and hold down the TRIP reset button—the light will go off. This only takes a minute or two. I always feel relieved after doing it. The wrench light indicates it's time for maintenance, and resetting it makes the system start counting anew. Ignoring it will leave the light on, potentially causing you to overlook actual problems. I recommend doing this after every maintenance to keep your car in good health.

Can a Small Spoiler Pass the Annual Inspection?

Adding a spoiler to a car will not pass the annual inspection. During the annual inspection, the vehicle will be checked to see if it has been modified, altered, or reconstructed. The inspection also verifies whether the vehicle's registration, license plate, and records match the actual condition of the car and if any changes have been made without proper approval and modification procedures. Unless the vehicle modifications, alterations, or technical transformations have not undergone the necessary approval and modification procedures. Relevant information about the annual vehicle inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: The annual vehicle inspection is a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Purpose: The annual vehicle inspection helps to promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourages better maintenance of the vehicle, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Where to Check the Vehicle Inspection Time?

Vehicle inspection time can be found on the duplicate of the vehicle license. Here is an introduction to the vehicle inspection time: 1. Validity period: The "Inspection Valid Until Year Month" on the duplicate of the vehicle license indicates that the annual inspection date is three months before the expiration of the validity period (including the current month). The vehicle annual inspection date is calculated by month, and it is not considered overdue if the inspection is conducted in the last full month of the validity period. 2. Consequences of overdue: Vehicles that have not passed the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving such a vehicle is considered illegal, and the vehicle may be impounded. Moreover, if an overdue vehicle is found on the road, the traffic police department will impose corresponding penalties based on the overdue period. For overdue periods within one year, 3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. Overdue periods exceeding one year will face more severe penalties.

How to Adjust the Ignition Timing Advance Angle of a Car?

Changing the ignition timing advance angle of a car involves using mechanical centrifugal and vacuum adjustment devices. Below is an introduction to the methods for adjusting the ignition angle: 1. Centrifugal Ignition Advance Adjustment Device: When the engine speed changes, it automatically alters the phase relationship between the breaker cam and the distributor shaft, thereby adjusting the ignition timing advance angle. As the speed increases, the centrifugal force acting on the weights overcomes the spring force, causing them to move outward. Through linkage mechanisms, the cam is advanced by an angle on the shaft to increase the ignition timing advance angle. This device is effective when the crankshaft speed ranges from 400 to 1500 rpm. 2. Vacuum Ignition Advance Adjustment Device: It automatically adjusts the ignition timing advance angle when the engine load, i.e., the throttle opening, changes. Changes in throttle opening affect the surrounding vacuum level, which in turn, through the vacuum chamber and its linkage, causes the distributor housing, fixed plate, and contacts to retreat relative to the cam by an angle, thereby increasing the ignition timing advance angle. This device does not function when the throttle is fully open or nearly closed.
