There are issues. Once the wheel speed sensor is damaged, it not only causes certain deviations in the speed display on the dashboard but also leads to unstable engine idling and reduced acceleration performance. Secondly, when the vehicle starts or slows down to stop while driving, it is prone to momentary stalling, which may directly cause the engine to shut off, significantly affecting driving safety to some extent. Classification of wheel speed sensors: 1. Magnetic wheel speed sensor: Designed based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, it features a simple structure, low cost, and resistance to mud and dirt, making it widely used in modern car ABS anti-lock braking systems. 2. Hall-effect wheel speed sensor: Made using the Hall effect principle, the Hall-effect wheel speed sensor has also found extensive applications in automobiles. It is characterized by output signal voltage amplitude unaffected by rotational speed, high frequency response, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference.

What is the symbol for coolant?

The coolant symbol is highly recognizable. Below the coolant symbol are two wavy lines representing water, with a thermometer inserted between them. Modern vehicles use water-cooled engines, which rely on the continuous circulation of coolant to dissipate excess heat. Relevant information about antifreeze is as follows: 1. Introduction: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine cylinder block or cylinder head. 2. Function: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced radiator efficiency; ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.

How to Avoid Stopping Midway in Subject 2?

Here are methods to prevent stopping midway during the Subject 2 test: 1. During the test, when passing over uneven ground or seams between cement blocks in the testing area, slightly increase the speed. 2. When turning the steering wheel to its limit, slightly release the clutch to prevent stopping midway; when straightening the wheel, slightly press the clutch to control the speed. Below are reasons for stopping midway in Subject 2: 1. Inadequate mastery of the clutch, causing the speed to fluctuate and suddenly stop. 2. Insufficient flatness of the testing area. Small pits or slight slopes, though minor, can cause the car to stop briefly. 3. When turning the steering wheel to its limit, the angled front wheels create significant resistance, causing the car to stop briefly.

What to Do When the Windshield Gets White Spots from Pebble Impacts?

While driving at high speeds, it's inevitable for the windshield to be hit by small pebbles on the road, leaving marks. Here are the solutions: 1. Owners with financial means can opt for professional automotive beauty shops to perform cosmetic repairs. 2. Alternatively, you can purchase glass repair fluid and perform the repair yourself; however, this is only suitable for damages within a 2cm size range. Damages exceeding this area require windshield replacement. Notes: Some cracks and dents on the windshield can be repaired, while others cannot. If the crack is too long or the dent is too large, repair might not be possible due to limited repair effectiveness. However, small marks caused by pebbles on the car windshield can be fully repaired.
