What does ECO mean on a Cadillac car?

ECO refers to the car's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by 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 economical mode has been activated. The Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable 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 serves merely 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 use the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, the Eco mode can be enabled. However, it is unnecessary to activate the Eco mode when the speed exceeds 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 the Eco mode but also affect the vehicle's power. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine's computer prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not operate.

What are the symptoms of a faulty mass air flow sensor?

The obvious symptoms of a faulty mass air flow sensor are: the engine warning light will illuminate, accompanied by decreased engine power, difficulty starting the engine, unstable operation, increased fuel consumption, rough idling, poor acceleration, intake manifold backfiring, and black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Below is additional information: 1. Working principle of the mass air flow sensor: The mass air flow sensor converts the intake air flow information into electrical signals, which serve as the basic signal for fuel injection calculation. These signals are transmitted to the engine control unit (ECU) for processing to determine all functions related to engine speed and load, such as injection timing and ignition timing. If the mass air flow sensor or its circuit malfunctions, the ECU cannot receive accurate intake air volume signals, leading to improper fuel injection control. This results in either excessively rich or lean air-fuel mixtures, causing abnormal engine operation. 2. Classification of mass air flow sensors: There are various types of mass air flow sensors. Common ones can be categorized by their structural types, including vane-type, core-type, hot-wire, hot-film, and Karman vortex types. Regarding the price of mass air flow sensors, most cost around two hundred yuan, but the exact price depends on the product brand, structure, and vehicle model. Generally, high-end vehicle models use more expensive mass air flow sensors, with prices ranging from several hundred to over a thousand yuan.

What is the difference between SP-grade and SN-grade engine oil?

SP-grade and SN-grade engine oils differ in their thickness and viscosity at certain temperatures, which is due to variations in phosphorus content. SN-grade engine oil has relatively lower phosphorus content, while SP-grade oil has a higher viscosity value, indicating that SP-grade oil forms a stronger oil film than SN-grade, offering better protective performance. The following provides an introduction to engine oil: 1. Definition of engine oil: Engine oil is the lubricant used in engines, composed of base oil and additives. As a type of machinery, engines have specific requirements for lubricants that align with general machinery, such as appropriate viscosity, certain levels of oxidation resistance, wear resistance, corrosion prevention, and viscosity-temperature properties. 2. Function of engine oil: With a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³), engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption and cushioning for the engine.
