Electronic Stability Control System failure is serious and should be repaired at a 4S store as soon as possible. Here is relevant information: 1. ESP fault light: If the ESP fault indicator light on the car's dashboard remains lit after the vehicle starts, it is likely that the vehicle's ESP has malfunctioned. If the ESP light comes on while driving, it is necessary to slow down, avoid excessive steering and turning, and find a nearby 4S store to check the cause as soon as possible. 2. ESP composition: The ESP system mainly consists of three parts: sensors, actuators, and the electronic control unit (ECU). Sensors generally include wheel speed sensors, steering wheel angle sensors, lateral acceleration sensors, yaw rate sensors, brake master cylinder pressure sensors, etc. Actuators generally include traditional braking systems and hydraulic regulators.

Does idling with the AC on harm the car?

Yes; The air conditioning compressor is driven by the engine, while the blower fan is powered by the battery. When the car is idling, it may not necessarily charge the battery. Excessive power consumption by the blower fan can lead to long-term battery depletion. Hazards of idling with the AC on: 1. Engine damage: Starting the AC immediately after the engine starts increases the engine load, which can damage the engine over time. Turning on the AC when the interior temperature is very high makes it difficult to cool down quickly. Instead, open the doors and windows, turn on the external circulation to release the hot air inside. Once the interior and exterior temperatures are similar, close the windows and doors, turn on the AC and switch to internal circulation. This method lubricates the engine and improves AC cooling efficiency. 2. Carbon monoxide poisoning: During prolonged traffic jams or waiting, if the AC is left on, the engine remains in idle mode, which also places a heavy burden on it. Moreover, incomplete fuel combustion during idling produces high concentrations of carbon monoxide. If the surrounding air circulation is poor (e.g., in a garage), the carbon monoxide emitted by the engine can enter the car and cause poisoning to the occupants.

What's the Cause of the Clunking Noise from the Chassis?

Car chassis can bear the power of the engine and ensure normal driving. The possible causes and solutions for the clunking noise from the chassis are as follows: 1. Ball joint wear or loose ball joint screws. Solution: Tighten the bolts and replace new connecting rods or ball joints. 2. Aging or damage to the control arm rubber bushings. Solution: Replace new swing arm bushings or the entire swing arm assembly. 3. Shock absorber oil leakage or damage. Solution: Replace the shock absorber. 4. Noise from the strut mount rubber or thrust bearing. Solution: Replace the strut mount rubber or thrust bearing, or apply grease. Some noises are caused by loose screws on the shock absorber. 5. Noise from the stabilizer bar bushings. Solution: Replace new stabilizer bar bushings. 6. Loose connecting fasteners. Solution: Tighten the loose bolts.

What is the validity period for driver's license renewal?

The renewal period for a driver's license is divided into three time frames: 6 years, 10 years, and permanent. Normally, the initial driver's license is valid for 6 years. After 6 years, it can be renewed to a 10-year validity license, and after 10 years, it can be renewed to a permanent license. Things to note when your driver's license expires: 1. Renewal time: You can apply for a new license up to 90 days before the expiration date at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued. 2. Expired for 1 year: If you fail to renew your license on time, you can still apply for a new one within 12 months after expiration, provided you have not driven a motor vehicle during this period. Otherwise, you will be penalized for driving without a license, facing a fine of around 2000 yuan and 15 days of detention. 3. Expired for 3 years: If your license has been expired for more than 12 months but less than 36 months, you will need to retake the subject one exam to renew your license. Driving during this period is also prohibited. 4. Expired for more than 3 years: If your license has been expired for more than 36 months, it will be revoked, and you will need to reapply for a new driver's license from scratch.

Should You Replace the Tire If the Shoulder Is Punctured by a Nail?

If the tire shoulder is punctured by a nail, it's better to replace the tire directly rather than repairing it. This area is constantly squeezed and deformed during driving as it comes into contact with the ground, so even if repaired, it may not last long before leaking air again. Therefore, if the tire shoulder is punctured, it's best to replace the tire outright and avoid further repair attempts. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The tire is the only part of the vehicle that comes into contact with the ground, directly affecting the driving stability and safety of the vehicle. If the puncture occurs in the tread area (the part that contacts the ground), it can still be repaired. However, if the sidewall is punctured, it is strongly recommended not to repair it. 2. Modern car tires are mostly radial tires, primarily composed of the carcass ply and rubber. The carcass ply consists of crisscrossing cords (some also include steel wire mesh), which mainly bear the load, while the rubber provides sealing and flexible deformation functions. 3. When a tire is punctured and leaks air, it is mainly due to damage to the inner liner, which can be repaired. However, if the carcass ply is damaged, it directly affects the tire's strength. The more cords that are broken, the greater the risk of a blowout.

Why is the outer side of the front tire severely worn?

It is related to inaccurate four-wheel alignment data. This requires replacing the worn tires and then performing a four-wheel alignment. Some models experience this issue because they only have independent front suspension, while others have independent suspension that cannot be adjusted, requiring professional inspection and repair. Other wear conditions are as follows: 1. Early wear on the central part of the tire (tread crown): The main reason is over-inflation. Properly increasing tire pressure can reduce rolling resistance and save fuel. However, excessive inflation not only affects the tire's shock absorption performance but also causes excessive deformation, reducing the contact area with the ground. As a result, normal wear is concentrated on the central part of the tread, leading to early wear. 2. Excessive wear on both sides of the tire (shoulders): The main reasons are under-inflation or long-term overload driving. When tire pressure is low or the load is heavy, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, causing both sides of the tire to engage with the ground and leading to early wear. If tire pressure is 20% above or below the rated value, mileage loss can range from 20% to 25%. 3. Excessive wear on one side of the tire: The main reason is inaccurate front-wheel alignment. When the camber angle of the front wheels is too large, the outer side of the tire experiences early wear. Conversely, if the camber angle is too small or absent, the inner side of the tire will show early wear.
