The PSM failure in cars is not serious. It is merely a stability management system malfunction. Timely repairs when this failure occurs are sufficient, and it does not affect the daily use of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about the car's PSM: 1. Cause of failure: The PSM failure in cars is generally caused by faults in the PSM system's related programs, issues with the ESP combination sensor wiring, or faults in the ESP sensor itself. Repairing this system requires replacing the relevant components. 2. Working principle: This system uses multiple sensors to monitor real-time information such as driving direction, speed, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration, and then calculates the vehicle's actual driving direction. Once the vehicle shows signs of oversteering or understeering, the PSM will independently brake the corresponding wheels to prevent the car from deviating from the correct driving direction.

Where is the OBD port on the Haima S5?

The OBD port of the Haima S5 is located inside the storage compartment below the left side of the steering wheel. After opening the storage compartment, lift the cover upwards with force to remove it, and you will see the OBD interface. Here is some information about OBD: 1. OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to "On-board Automatic Diagnostic System" in Chinese. 2. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check if the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. 3. When a system failure occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate. At the same time, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in memory. Through a specific procedure, the fault code can be read from the PCM. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.

Does XPENG support CarPlay?

XPENG does not support CarPlay, as XPENG vehicles fundamentally do not require CarPlay. Below is an introduction to XPENG Motors: 1. Overview: XPENG Motors' pure electric drive system centers around the motor, battery, and electronic control. The motor controller, DCDC, and charger are located in the front compartment, while the battery system is positioned beneath the floor of the passenger compartment. The initial version of XPENG's motor achieves a power density of 10kW/L, with a target of 14.5kW/L, surpassing the domestic average by more than double. 2. Exterior Design: XPENG Motors incorporates interstellar design elements, with an LED light strip running across the front of the vehicle, giving it a futuristic and highly recognizable appearance. The design of the hood and bumper also highlights some curved elements, making it more fashionable and avant-garde compared to competitors. Additionally, the side profile features very smooth lines, and the fastback design at the rear emphasizes the coupe-like attributes.

What is the tutorial for replacing the bulb of the new Excelle?

The tutorial for replacing the bulb of the new Excelle is: 1. First, open the engine compartment cover, and you can see the light cover near the lamp socket in the engine compartment. 2. Rotate the light cover counterclockwise and remove it, then rotate the lamp socket counterclockwise to detach it. Replace with a new bulb, insert it into the socket, and rotate clockwise to secure. 3. Rotate the lamp bracket clockwise until it cannot be turned anymore, then install the light cover and rotate clockwise to complete the installation. Extended content: The method for replacing the new Excelle's position light: 1. First, open the engine compartment cover, and you can see the light cover near the position light in the engine compartment. 2. Bend the wire on the cover to the left (for the right position light, bend it to the right), then remove the cover. 3. The green and black wire is connected to the position light. Pull it out, remove the original bulb, and insert the new one (there are positive and negative poles; if it doesn't light up, rotate it 180 degrees and insert again). 4.

Does the Malibu XL's brake discs rust?

The Malibu XL's brake discs can rust. They are prone to rusting after damp or rainy weather. If the car's brake discs are slightly rusted, they can be polished and buffed; severe rusting may require replacement of the brake discs. Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the car moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force—when you press the brake pedal, it clamps the disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. The advantages of disc brakes are as follows: 1. Disc brakes dissipate heat better than drum brakes, reducing the risk of brake fade and failure during continuous braking. 2. The thermal expansion of brake discs along the thickness direction is minimal, so heat-induced size changes do not increase the brake pedal travel. 3. Disc brake systems respond quickly, allowing high-frequency braking, making them more suitable for ABS requirements. 4. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes lack friction self-boosting effects, ensuring more balanced braking force between the left and right wheels. 5. Better drainage in disc brakes reduces the likelihood of poor braking due to water or mud. 6. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes have a simpler structure, making automatic gap adjustment easier and maintenance more straightforward.
