You can continue driving with a broken speed sensor, but it's best to drive at a relatively slow speed to the nearest auto repair shop for maintenance or replacement. After all, a faulty speed sensor will directly affect the vehicle's driving safety system, leading to a decline in the car's stability performance. At this time, aggressive driving poses significant safety risks. Here is some additional information: Speed Sensor: The speed sensor is usually installed in the drive axle housing or transmission housing. The speed sensor signal line is typically encased in a shielded jacket to eliminate electromagnetic and radio frequency interference caused by high-voltage ignition wires, car phones, or other electronic devices. This ensures uninterrupted electronic communication and prevents driving performance degradation or other issues.

What is the violation for code 1111?

Can a C2 license drive manual or automatic transmission vehicles?

C2 is for automatic transmission. Here is some knowledge about the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: Different transmissions: Manual transmission vehicles are equipped with manual gearboxes, while automatic transmission vehicles have automatic gearboxes - this is the most fundamental difference between them. Different levels of driving difficulty: Manual transmission requires the driver to coordinate the clutch and manually shift gears according to driving speed. Automatic transmission only requires controlling the accelerator and brake during driving, without needing to shift gears as the system will automatically change gears based on driving speed. Different braking methods: Manual transmission vehicles can decelerate through methods like foot braking and gear shifting, while automatic transmission vehicles decelerate by pressing the brake pedal.

How to Start an Electric Motorcycle?

Take out the vehicle's remote control, locate the unlock button on it, and press this unlock button with your finger. Insert the vehicle's key and turn it to the 'on' position to start the motorcycle. Precautions: During the starting process, do not twist the throttle of the vehicle. Always unlock first before turning the key. Fully Charge Before Use: Since many electric vehicles have been sitting in stores for several months or even over half a year, they must be fully charged before use. After charging, it's best not to use the vehicle immediately; let it sit for about ten minutes. When charging the battery separately, ensure it is securely installed on the electric bicycle to prevent damage from vibrations while riding.

What causes severe shaking when holding the brake in D gear?

It is most likely caused by damaged engine mounts. Severe clutch wear: When stopping in D gear, slippage can also occur because wear reduces the friction between the two. Sliding friction generates abnormal vibrations and rapidly increases the clutch temperature. Therefore, when stopping in D gear at relatively low temperatures, regular resonance or abnormal noises may occur. Torque converter wear: After severe wear, abnormal slippage cannot be ruled out. Additionally, issues such as worn or loose power output shafts, transmission gear or bearing problems, or engine carbon buildup causing idle shaking may contribute. When in D gear, the engine needs to output power, and the RPM will be slightly higher than idle speed. However, if the throttle, intake/exhaust valves, spark plugs, or fuel injectors have severe carbon buildup, air intake, fuel injection, and combustion efficiency will deteriorate at low RPMs.

Why Does a Manual Transmission Car Jerk When Starting?

Manual transmission cars may jerk when starting due to the following reasons: Improper operation: The jerking sensation during startup could be caused by improper operation. Many people experience a couple of jerks when releasing the clutch after engaging the gear. The most direct reasons are releasing the clutch too quickly or not matching it with the throttle. Spark plugs overdue for replacement: Jerking might also occur if the spark plugs are not igniting smoothly. Spark plugs generally need to be replaced every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Transmission clutch slipping: Slipping of the transmission clutch can also cause jerking during startup. Check if there is a burnt smell or excessive dirt in the transmission, and replace the transmission fluid if necessary.

Can halogen headlights be replaced after three years of use?

Halogen headlights can be replaced after 3 years of use. Service life: Ordinary halogen car headlights typically have a service life of only 500 hours. Replacement cycle: With an average daily usage of 2.5 hours, the replacement cycle for headlights is 200 days. Headlights don't necessarily need to be replaced only when they stop working; they should be replaced when the brightness becomes insufficient or dim. Replacement recommendations: More expensive headlights aren't always better. You should choose models suitable for your vehicle. Additionally, xenon headlight modifications have strict requirements for the lighting system wiring. Poor-quality headlights have a short lifespan and cannot guarantee stable quality. High-quality headlights offer good light distribution and high brightness, while inferior ones lack sufficient brightness, poor focus, and short projection distance.
