Car fault codes are error codes reflected by the vehicle's computer ECU after a malfunction occurs. Generally, fault codes are caused by sensor malfunctions or poor sensor performance, but some mechanical faults cannot be read by the ECU. Examples of fault codes: P0107: Intake pressure sensor input voltage too low; P0108: Intake pressure sensor input voltage too high; P0109: Intake temperature sensor circuit malfunction or intermittent intake pressure sensor circuit; P0110: Intake temperature sensor circuit intermittent fault; P0111: Intake temperature sensor wiring malfunction; P0112: Intake temperature sensor circuit voltage too low; P0113: Intake temperature sensor circuit input voltage too high; P0114: Intake temperature sensor circuit intermittent fault; P0115: Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit malfunction; P0116: Engine coolant temperature sensor malfunction; P0117: Engine coolant temperature sensor voltage too low; P0118: Engine coolant temperature sensor voltage too high.

Last time I was driving, the check engine light came on and displayed a P0420 error code, which really startled me. Car error codes are essentially small tags recorded by the vehicle's computer system when it detects a fault. For example, P0420 indicates an issue with the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. If you ignore it, it could lead to increased fuel consumption or even engine damage, resulting in expensive repair costs later. I immediately went to a repair shop for inspection, and it turned out the catalyst efficiency was low—a simple cleaning fixed it. These codes follow a standardized design: P stands for powertrain issues, C for chassis faults, etc. Vehicles produced after 1996 support the OBD-II interface, so you can spend a few dozen dollars on a scan tool to read the codes yourself, saving both time and money. I recommend car owners pay regular attention to these small alerts, especially when lights flash, and stop to address them immediately. Learning some basic knowledge can help you stay calm when facing unexpected situations.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Parallel Parking?

Because the key points of parallel parking are controlling speed with the clutch and judging position through the rearview mirrors, this maneuver is generally not too difficult. With continuous practice, you should be able to master it within three days. Parallel Parking Technique - Adjusting the distance between the car body and the edge of the parking space: Typically, 30cm is the optimal distance, which can be observed from the driver's seat. When the edge line of the parking space aligns with one-third of the engine hood, it is approximately 30cm. Steering: When you see the right rear wheel parallel to the side line of the parking space, immediately turn the steering wheel in the correct direction. Observe the left rearview mirror, and when the inner corner appears, straighten the steering wheel immediately. After reversing, continue to observe the left rearview mirror. When the left rear wheel touches the edge line of the parking space, immediately turn the steering wheel to the left. Observe both left and right rearview mirrors, and when the car body is parallel to the edge lines of the parking space on both sides, return the steering wheel to the straight position.

What does fuel consumption of 10 liters mean?

Fuel consumption of 10 liters means: The amount of fuel required for a car to travel 100 kilometers is 10 liters. "Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers" can serve as a standard for measuring a vehicle's fuel economy. "Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers" is also affected by various factors such as vehicle condition, road conditions, and driving habits. Methods to reduce fuel consumption per 100 kilometers include: 1. Ensure proper tire pressure. Regularly check tire pressure to avoid underinflation or overinflation. 2. Maintain consistent speed and gear to prevent incomplete combustion in the engine. 3. Develop good driving habits and avoid rapid acceleration by stomping on the gas pedal. 4. Warm up the car moderately. Prolonged idling to warm up the engine increases fuel consumption. Instead, warm up the car by driving slowly for about one kilometer.

What is the real fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Tharu 1.4T?

For the Tharu 2.0T, the real fuel consumption range is 8.02~10.73L/100km, with an average consumption of 9.37L/100km. Overall, the Tharu's fuel efficiency performance is quite good. Below is an introduction to the Tharu: 1. In terms of space, the dimensions are 4453/1841/1632mm (length/width/height), with a wheelbase of 2680mm and an unladen ground clearance of 182mm. 2. In terms of power, the Tharu is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, with maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW respectively, and peak torques of 175Nm, 250Nm, and 320Nm.

Can You Continue Driving When the Vehicle's Coolant Temperature is Too High on the Dashboard?

You should not continue driving when the vehicle's coolant temperature is too high on the dashboard. Continuing to drive can easily lead to increased mechanical wear of the engine, overheating and aging of the wiring, and even smoke or spontaneous combustion in the engine compartment. If there is a fault in the cooling system, it can easily cause the coolant to boil, and excessive internal pressure may result in the radiator cracking or pipes bursting. The following are the steps to handle excessive coolant temperature: 1. When the coolant temperature light turns red, you should pull over and stop driving as soon as possible to check the vehicle's condition. 2. Do not rush to open the radiator cap. Check if the cooling fan is running and look for signs of blockage or damage to the radiator. 3. After the vehicle's coolant temperature has decreased, open the radiator cap to release pressure. If you find the coolant level is low, you can add new coolant or distilled water as an emergency measure.

What does ECO mean in the Highlander?

ECO in the Highlander refers to the vehicle's economic driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economic mode has been activated. ECO mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it merely serves as a reminder function. The ECO system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active ECO driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. In daily driving, we can generally activate the ECO mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO but also impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the ECO mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function in such scenarios.

What does it mean when the electronic power steering warning light comes on?

When the yellow "EPS" warning light or "steering wheel" shaped warning light illuminates on the dashboard, the following symptoms may occur: heavy steering, abnormal steering noise, steering wheel vibration, and poor steering wheel return capability. Possible causes of electronic power steering system failure include: 1. Excessive air in the power steering system. 2. Foreign objects in the hydraulic lines causing steering pump flow blockage. 3. Loose steering connections leading to steering fluid leakage. Below is relevant information about this component: On the steering shaft there is a hub with grooves that rotates when turning the steering wheel. There are four equally spaced grooves around the hub. When the turn signal is activated, a plastic lever on the turn signal switch gets pushed into the path of these grooves. As the hub continues rotating clockwise, these grooves strike the plastic lever, causing it to oscillate and allowing each groove to pass. When the steering wheel returns left, the hub rotates counterclockwise, pushing the plastic lever in the opposite direction. This forces the spring-loaded roller out of the switch housing's groove, causing the turn signal lever to snap back to its central position.
