What Are the Common Vehicle Fault Repairs?
1 Answers
Common vehicle fault repairs are as follows: 1. Dead Battery: A dead battery may be caused by two reasons: either the battery has reached the end of its lifespan or has malfunctioned, or the headlights were left on, leading to power depletion. You can start the car using one of the following three methods: towing or pulling to start; borrowing power from another vehicle; or using a downhill slope to start. The method of using jumper cables to borrow power from another vehicle involves: preparing two relatively thick wires, usually red and black if purchased from the market. Connect one end of the red wire to the positive terminal of the charged battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Connect one end of the black wire to the negative terminal of the dead battery and the other end to a metal part of the charged vehicle. Start the charged vehicle first to help start the dead vehicle. It is important to note that the supplying vehicle should be running, and the connections should be made in the order of positive first, then negative; after starting, disconnect the negative first, then the positive. This prevents accidental short circuits if the positive terminal touches the car body after connecting the negative. 2. Low Oil Alarm: If the oil warning light (red) comes on, unless it's a sensor malfunction, it usually indicates the engine is low on oil. Continuing to drive with insufficient oil can cause the piston to damage the cylinder, leading to sudden engine shutdown, which is not only dangerous but also results in high repair costs. If the fuel tank is accidentally damaged and leaks, and there is no repair shop nearby, you can chew gum and stick it over the leak. Once the gum dries, it can tightly seal the leak, serving as an emergency fix. 3. Tire Blowout: A tire blowout is an unexpected and dangerous situation during high-speed driving. If a blowout occurs, stay calm and avoid jerking the steering wheel. Firmly hold the wheel to maintain control and slow down gradually. After stopping safely, set up a warning triangle behind the car to prevent secondary accidents, then replace the tire with the spare.
