What are the causes of ECM communication failure?

ECM failure indicates a malfunction in the power module or engine. Additional information: 1. The control system of an electronically controlled engine: Simply put, it consists of three components: sensors, the electronic control unit (ECU), and actuators. The ECU serves as the "brain" of the system and is essentially a dedicated microcomputer controller for the engine. 2. How ECM works: During operation, the ECM collects data on various engine operating conditions through sensors (including temperature sensors, pressure sensors, rotation sensors, flow sensors, position sensors, oxygen sensors, knock sensors, etc.), which are then transmitted to the ECU via dedicated wiring. After receiving these signals, the ECU analyzes them to determine the operational status of various engine components.

What to Do When the Steering Wheel Shakes at 120 km/h on the Highway?

Perform a tire balance. Below is a related introduction about steering wheel shaking: 1. Reasons for steering wheel shaking: First, it could be due to uneven tire tread causing the steering wheel to shake. Unstable tires will start to vibrate when the car reaches a certain speed, and this vibration will be transmitted upwards through the car's drivetrain, leading to steering wheel shaking. Second, it could be caused by uneven surfaces on the brake discs or pads, resulting in shaking. 2. Methods to handle steering wheel shaking: Check if the tire tread is cracked. Aging tire rubber hardens and cracks, indicating that the tire has reached its replacement limit. Cracked tires have reduced grip and are prone to bursting due to external impacts while driving. Also, check if the tread is cut or punctured by nails. After a tire impact, promptly inspect the tread for bulges. Visit a tire repair shop to perform a tire balance using a tire balancing machine to identify the unbalanced areas and the required counterweights.

What to Do When Keys Are Locked in the Car?

There are several solutions when keys are locked in the car: 1. The simplest method is to break the car window, but the subsequent repair costs are relatively high. 2. You can call a professional locksmith to unlock the car. 3. You can retrieve the spare key to open the car door. 4. If the car key is inside the car, the trunk can be opened because the proximity allows it to sense the key. You can directly open the trunk and climb into the car from there to retrieve the key. 5. There is a horizontal rubber strip on the right door of the car, which serves as a shock absorber to prevent glass damage. When the car key is locked inside, you can remove this rubber strip to find a lever in the gap. Lift the lever to open the door and retrieve the key.

What are the reasons for the car remote control not responding when pressed?

Car key not responding reasons: 1. The battery in the car remote key is dead, causing the car remote control to malfunction. The solution is to replace the car remote control battery. It's particularly important to note that for some car models, replacing the remote control battery requires re-matching the key. 2. Other electronic signal interference causing the car remote key to malfunction. The solution is to move the car to a different location and try locking it again, which usually resolves the issue. Also, if the car remote key responds but cannot control the car, be cautious as there might be criminals nearby using signal jammers to interfere with the car remote key, intending to steal the vehicle. 3. The car remote key got wet, leading to a short circuit and malfunction. The solution is to disassemble the remote control and let it dry out. In most cases, the remote control will resume working. 4. Many high-end vehicles use keyless start systems. While this system is very convenient, if the keyless start transmitter fails, the car cannot be started even after the doors are opened.

What does it mean when the engine fault indicator light turns yellow?

Possible reasons for the engine fault indicator light turning yellow are as follows: 1. Poor fuel quality: Fuel quality is the primary factor causing the engine fault light to illuminate. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by its octane rating—the higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance. For example, 97-octane gasoline has an octane rating of no less than 97. Leaded gasoline can cause lead poisoning in oxygen sensors. Poor fuel quality is the main cause of insufficient engine combustion, leading to the engine fault light turning on. 2. Abnormal fuel pressure: If the fuel pump's supply pressure fails to reach the required level, it can result in inadequate atomization by the fuel injectors, affecting the engine's normal operation. When combustion is insufficient, the engine fault light will turn yellow.

What Does the Automobile Three Guarantees Refer To?

Automobile three guarantees is the abbreviation for "guarantee of repair, replacement, and refund." This policy is a commitment by retail businesses to the products they sell and also serves as a protection for consumer rights. Guarantee of repair means that within the "three guarantees" period, any malfunction caused by quality issues of the automobile product will be repaired free of charge after technical appraisal by a "technical service center" or an "authorized service station." Guarantee of replacement means that within the "three guarantees" period, if quality issues arise that cannot be repaired, after appraisal by the "center" or "authorized station," qualified parts or assemblies can be replaced free of charge. Guarantee of refund means that within the "three guarantees" period, if major quality issues occur and the product still fails to meet its main technical performance indicators after the first two measures, the user may submit a written request for a refund. After appraisal and confirmation by the "center," the seller can process the vehicle return by charging a depreciation fee (1 yuan per kilometer for trucks and 1.5 yuan per kilometer for vans) based on the usage time and mileage.
