The following are the reasons why a diesel generator fails to start: 1. The engine oil circuit is not smooth. It is necessary to check whether the engine oil circuit is unobstructed. If you hear a squeaking sound from the fuel injector, it proves that the oil circuit is fine. 2. Cylinder compression. Check the cylinder compression. If the flywheel can still rotate after releasing the decompression device, then there is a problem with the cylinder compression, and the cylinder piston and piston ring damage need to be replaced. Lubricating oil should be replaced in time, and too thick lubricating oil is also not conducive to the smooth start of the engine. Check whether there is air in the oil pump. If there is air in the oil pump, the diesel engine will not start. 3. In winter, when the temperature is too low, the diesel vehicle may not start in the morning. It is very difficult to start the vehicle in the morning. At this time, you need to pay attention. First, turn the car key to the "on" position, and the dashboard will show a glow plug and diesel preheating warning light. Wait for about 10 seconds. This is the glow plug indicating insufficient heat. Then step on the clutch and accelerator, turn the key to the end while adding fuel, and observe whether the fuel supply is smooth. Usually, the fuel supply is not smooth at this time.

Where is the tire pressure sensor located on the Baojun 510?

The tire pressure sensor on the Baojun 510 is located in the instrument cluster's onboard computer. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time during vehicle operation and alerts the driver to tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. It transmits the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module via wireless transmitters, then displays the data for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver when the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotational speed between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: This system combines the advantages of the two aforementioned systems. It equips direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and includes a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.
