An excessively loose chain can cause skipping. More information about the oil pump chain is as follows: 1. Overview: The automobile engine chain (timing chain and oil pump chain) has a driving sprocket speed as high as 5-7kr/min, far exceeding the limit speed defined by the transmission power curve. In addition to high-speed characteristics, automobile engine chains (hereinafter referred to as automobile chains) are subjected to variable speed and variable load service conditions. Therefore, the failure mechanism and design theory of automobile chains have undergone fundamental changes, opening up a new frontier research field in mechanical design and mechanical transmission disciplines. Early fracture failure of parts and early wear failure of chains constitute key technologies in the industry. 2. Others: With the continuous development of high-speed chain transmission technology, timing chains and oil pump chains have been adopted by more and more new-generation automobile engines. Automobile engine chains have also achieved certain development.

Can You Keep Driving When the Check Light Is On?

The car should not be driven when the check light is on. 'Check Engine' means 'inspect the engine'. The following are the reasons why the engine warning light may come on: Sensor Issues: Sensors include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen levels, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which can trigger the engine warning light. Maintenance Issues: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light coming on. Vehicles have specific maintenance schedules, and if the owner does not adhere to these schedules along with poor driving habits, it can increase the burden on the engine's operation. Fuel and Oil Quality Issues: This includes both fuel and engine oil. The fuel used in cars usually has a specific grade, and engine oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers generally recommend which grade of fuel and type of oil to use. If the owner does not follow these recommendations, it can lead to engine wear over time.

What is the difference between tire aspect ratios of 55 and 60?

The differences between tire aspect ratios of 55 and 60 include performance variation, height difference, and stability distinction. Below are detailed explanations of these differences: Performance variation: Tires with a 60% aspect ratio provide better grip than those with 55%, reduce noise during driving, increase driving speed, and also decrease physical exertion when changing tires. Height difference: Compared to 55% aspect ratio tires, 60% aspect ratio tires lower the vehicle height, which weakens the car's passing capability. Stability distinction: The wider and flatter the tire, the larger its contact area with the ground becomes. This allows for greater load-bearing capacity and more sensitive response to road conditions. Therefore, cars equipped with low aspect ratio tires will have better steering stability and high-speed stability.

What does a range of 500km mean?

Range of 500km means the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at a relatively economical speed is 500km. Definition of range: Generally refers to the total distance a vehicle can travel from a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery until it can no longer move. For new energy vehicles, the maximum battery range refers to the highest distance the vehicle can travel in pure electric mode relying solely on the battery's charge. The battery in new energy vehicles is the key component of the entire power system, providing electricity to the whole new energy system. However, limited by materials and technology, the range provided by the battery is restricted. Vehicle odometer range: Includes two roller counters driven by the same flexible shaft, respectively accumulating the trip distance and total distance. The trip distance usually has four digits and can be reset for short-term counting, while the total distance has six digits and cannot be reset.

What are the evaluation criteria for straight-line driving in Subject 3?

Subject 3 straight-line driving evaluation criteria are as follows: Unstable steering wheel control: During driving, if the steering wheel is controlled unstably and the vehicle cannot maintain a straight-line motion state, it will be judged as unqualified. Not observing through the rearview mirror: If you do not observe the traffic conditions behind on the road through the rearview mirror for more than about 20 seconds, points will be deducted. Not taking deceleration measures: If you do not take deceleration measures when encountering the braking of the vehicle in front, you will also be judged as unqualified. Not detecting road obstacles: If you do not detect road obstacles in time and do not take deceleration measures promptly, points will be deducted. Lack of understanding of the vehicle's driving speed will also result in point deductions.

Which lane should ETC car owners take on National Day expressways?

During the National Day free expressway period, ETC car owners should choose the following lanes: • Enter through ETC lane and exit through ETC lane - no charge • Enter through manual lane and exit through manual lane - no charge • Enter through manual lane and exit through ETC lane - no entry information recorded, barrier won't lift (cannot exit) • Enter through ETC lane and exit through manual lane - passable without charge ETC usage precautions: • The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. Maintain over 10 meters distance from vehicles ahead to prevent accidental payment for other vehicles (in case of faulty or missing ETC devices). • The ETC lane recognition speed limit is 20km/h. Excessive speed will cause reading failure and payment deduction issues. • Any unauthorized OBU device movement, detached/loose ETC tags will deactivate the electronic tag. These can be inspected at ETC service banks or highway offices. Non-deliberate detachment only requires reactivation.

What is the reason for the car tail lights working normally but the brake lights not lighting up when stepping on the brake?

When the tail lights are on but the brake lights are not lighting up, it may be caused by a faulty brake switch, brake light wiring, brake light bulb, or circuit fuse. Solutions for brake lights not working are as follows: Check the brake light bulb: The brake lights are the most frequently used lights on a car, and the bulbs have a relatively short lifespan. When the brake lights fail to illuminate, the first thing to consider is the brake light bulb. Simply replacing the bulb may solve the issue. Check the brake light switch: If the brake light switch is faulty, none of the brake lights will work. During inspection, you can use a wire to bridge the brake light switch. If the brake lights come on, it indicates the switch is faulty, and replacing it will resolve the problem. Check the fuse: If both the bulb and switch are confirmed to be functioning properly, the next step is to check the fuse. Some cars do not have a separate fuse for the brake lights and share one with other electrical devices. In this case, you can check the operation of other electrical devices in the car. Identify any non-functioning devices and replace the corresponding fuse.
