It is normal for a car to display odo, which is the total mileage display function of the car. When this function is enabled, a yellow odo light will appear on the vehicle's dashboard. The car odo odometer is a common digital instrument. It works by engaging the transmission gear of the vehicle's counter drum wheel with the worm gear on the speedometer drive shaft, causing the vehicle's counter drum wheel to rotate. Its characteristic is that when the upper-level drum wheel completes a full rotation, the lower-level drum wheel rotates one-tenth of a turn. The function of the car odo is to force a downshift to increase engine speed and enhance acceleration capability, which is useful for short-term overtaking on highways. However, using it in urban areas will increase fuel consumption. After activating the odo function, the highest gear is limited to the 3rd gear.

How Many Chances Are There for Subject 2 and Subject 3 Tests?

Subject 2 and Subject 3 can each be scheduled for a maximum of five times. Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 offer five opportunities for test scheduling. If the number of scheduled attempts for either Subject 2 or Subject 3 exceeds five, you will no longer be able to schedule the test, and all previously passed test subjects will be invalidated, requiring you to re-register and start over from the beginning. Subject 3 is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and is the abbreviated term for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test. The road driving skills test generally includes: preparation before starting, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning at intersections, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving, among others. The test content varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed.

What can be connected to OBD?

OBD interface itself is not designed for external connections. External devices may affect the vehicle itself through the OBD interface due to their own malfunctions or issues. OBD is a diagnostic system extended for vehicle fault detection, primarily to monitor the engine status and exhaust conditions. In its early stages, OBD could only report faults via indicator lights. Later, OBD became capable of reporting various real-time data and standardized fault codes, revolutionizing automotive fault diagnosis and repair methods. OBD devices monitor multiple systems and components, including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate filter, oxygen sensors, emission control systems, fuel system, EGR, etc.
