p0321 fault code solutions are as follows: 1. The causes of the p0321 fault code include engine speed sensor failure, sensor wheel failure or mismatch, electronic control module (PCM or ECM) failure, etc. If it is an engine speed sensor failure, you can measure the resistance between the two pins of the sensor (the normal value should generally be between 0.7-1.2). If it exceeds the specified resistance range, it indicates that the sensor is faulty and the speed sensor should be replaced. 2. The engine speed sensor is an inductive sensor used to identify the engine speed. Together with the Hall sensor, it identifies the top dead center of cylinder 1 ignition to determine the fuel injection timing and ignition timing. It obtains the engine speed and accurate crankshaft angle position (input system). The troubleshooting method for speed sensor failure is as follows: Using an oscilloscope for waveform detection is the most effective. The engine control unit does not receive the speed signal or the received signal is unstable. The reasons include the following: 1. The distance between the sensor and the target wheel is too large. 2. The sensor wire is short-circuited or open-circuited. 3. The sensor is damaged.

How to Turn on Brake Assist?

Brake assist is automatically activated and does not require manual operation by the driver. It is enabled by default as soon as the vehicle starts. The brake assist system includes electronic brake assist and brake force assist systems. It can detect the driver's braking force and speed, then increase braking power during emergency stops to reduce stopping distance. Functions of brake assist: 1. Prevents wheel lock-up when braking; 2. When the vehicle experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, it reduces engine speed while applying brake control to individual wheels to prevent dangerous loss of vehicle control.

Why Does the Car Turn Signal Flash Quickly?

The reasons for a car turn signal flashing quickly are: 1. Loose bulb or poor plug connection; 2. Inconsistent turn signal bulb power or model; 3. Faulty combination switch or instrument cluster. Car turn signals are lighting fixtures on vehicles that serve as warning tools for various driving signals. They are categorized by function into: low beam, high beam, front position light, front fog light, rear position light, reverse light, brake light, rear fog light, and license plate light. The functions of car turn signals are: 1. To alert pedestrians or other vehicles of an upcoming turn; 2. On highways, to indicate the direction of overtaking or lane changing; 3. When flashing simultaneously, to indicate an emergency situation, alerting other vehicles to pay attention.

How to Charge the Car Battery During Long-Term Parking?

To charge the car battery during long-term parking, you should start the car once a month and let it run at medium speed for about 20 minutes. The functions of a car battery are: 1. To supply power to the starting system, ignition system, electronic fuel injection system, and other electrical components when starting the engine; 2. To provide power to the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. The car battery acts as a voltage stabilizer for the entire vehicle's electrical system. Methods for maintaining the car battery include: 1. Regularly clean the dust and oil from the battery terminals and apply special grease to protect the wiring harness; 2. Periodically check the battery's accessories and connecting circuits; 3. Minimize the use of electrical equipment inside the car after turning off the engine; 4. Inspect the car battery through the observation hole on it and replace it regularly.

What Causes Insufficient Power When Accelerating a Car?

Car acceleration power insufficiency can be attributed to: 1. Use of low-quality gasoline leading to incomplete combustion; 2. Faulty or inaccurate ignition system; 3. Clogged air intake system; 4. Blocked fuel injectors or damaged injector components; 5. Insufficient cylinder pressure. Solutions for addressing car acceleration power insufficiency include: 1. Inspecting fuel pressure and replacing the fuel filter; 2. Checking the ignition system; 3. Verifying if the engine is operating with a misfiring cylinder; 4. Ensuring unobstructed intake and exhaust pipelines. The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle or air valve, forms part of the vehicle's fuel supply system. By regulating the pedal depression amount, it controls the engine throttle opening, manages air intake volume, while the computer regulates fuel injection, thereby governing engine speed.
