Insufficient refrigerant in the air conditioning system / The refrigerant pressure switch detects low pressure or the pressure switch is faulty; Air conditioning compressor failure; Air conditioning control unit failure; Air conditioning function switch failure; Air conditioning system wiring harness open/short circuit failure. Here is additional information: 1. Air conditioning working principle: The air conditioning system mainly works by compressing gaseous refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure gas through the compressor. The gas then flows through the pipeline into the condenser, where it is cooled by the radiator fan and condenses into high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the dryer reservoir through the pipeline, is dried and filtered, and then flows into the expansion valve for throttling. Its state changes drastically, turning into low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant that enters the evaporator. Inside the evaporator, it absorbs heat from the air flowing through it, lowering the air temperature and blowing out cold air, thereby producing a cooling effect. 2. Refrigerant working principle: The refrigerant itself evaporates into low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant after absorbing heat, and is then sucked into the compressor through the pipeline for compression. As long as the compressor continues to work, the refrigerant circulates continuously in the air conditioning system, producing a cooling effect. When the compressor stops working, the refrigerant in the air conditioning system stops flowing, and no cooling effect is produced.

What Causes a Car's Air Conditioning Compressor to Not Shut Off?

Here are the reasons why a car's air conditioning compressor does not shut off: 1. The car's air conditioning temperature is set too low, causing the compressor to run continuously. 2. The temperature sensor is faulty, leading to the compressor not shutting off. 3. The thermostat on the air conditioning unit's control board is damaged, resulting in the compressor running non-stop. 4. There is a refrigerant leak in the air conditioning system, causing insufficient cooling and the compressor to operate continuously. Below are the troubleshooting methods for a car's air conditioning compressor that does not shut off: If the cooling system works normally after turning on the air conditioning, the issue is likely a faulty thermostat, and the thermostat system should be inspected. Check if the temperature sensing tube connected to the thermostat has come loose. If it has, reattach it to its original position. Over time, the internal contacts of the thermostat may fuse, causing the control fluid inside the thermostat to leak and the thermistor in the electronic thermostat to degrade.

What is the rearview mirror heating symbol?

Rearview mirror heating symbol. Below is an introduction to the rearview mirror heating symbol: 1. Introduction: When the rearview mirror heating switch is turned on, the switch in the green circle is the front windshield defogging and defrosting button; the switch in the red circle is the car rearview mirror heating button. Pay attention to the differences. Although both have three curved upward arrows, the graphics are different. Although the vehicle models vary and the button positions differ, the heating switch patterns are the same. (1) On the electric rearview mirror adjustment combination switch. (2) On the air conditioning control panel. However, no matter the design, the function is largely the same. After pressing the button, the electric heating element behind the rearview mirror glass will rapidly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, generally between 35-60 degrees Celsius. Hot air will emerge from both left and right rearview mirrors, and the water droplets on the mirror surface will gradually evaporate due to the rising temperature, becoming smaller, while the fog will slowly disappear, thereby achieving the effect of heating the mirror, defogging, and defrosting.

What is the difference between GLE and GLC?

GLC is a mid-size SUV built on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class platform and is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz GLK; GLE is a mid-to-large-size SUV built on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class platform, previously known as the ML-Class, and belongs to the mid-to-large-size luxury SUV category. Therefore, the main differences between these two models are their body size, powertrain, and price. Below is an introduction to these two models: 1. Mercedes-Benz GLE: The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a mid-cycle update of the Mercedes-Benz ML, which is a mid-to-large-size SUV in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, positioned above the GLK but below the G-Class and GL-Class. 2. Mercedes-Benz GLC: The Mercedes-Benz GLC can essentially be considered the coupe version of the GLK. The reason the Mercedes-Benz GLC was not introduced until 2016 is primarily because it was developed based on the new-generation GLK, which provides the GLC with more platform advantages, such as lighter weight, more modular components, etc., thereby reducing vehicle development costs.

How to Tell if a Used Car is an Accident Vehicle?

Methods to identify whether a used car has been in an accident are as follows: 1. Check the screws on the hood: Under normal circumstances, whether there are issues with the vehicle's engine or other components in the engine compartment, the hood does not need to be removed. If it has been removed, it likely indicates that the engine was replaced or repaired due to an accident. Therefore, to identify an accident vehicle, check if the paint around the screws on the hood shows signs of damage or has been tampered with. 2. Check the door screws: Under normal circumstances, the doors of a vehicle do not need to be removed. The only reasons for removal would be to replace the entire interior or for thorough cleaning. If you notice that the door screws have been turned, it's best to avoid that car. 3. Check the radiator screws: The radiator usually doesn't have issues. If the radiator has been replaced, it's almost certain that it was damaged in an accident, necessitating replacement. If you find that the screws securing the radiator have been tampered with, there's a high probability that the car is an accident vehicle.

What is the Principle of an Automotive Charcoal Canister?

The principle of an automotive charcoal canister is that during engine operation, the ECU controls the vacuum level in the upper part of the emission control valve based on signals such as engine speed and temperature. When the emission control valve opens, fuel vapor participates in combustion. Below are the precautions and advantages of the charcoal canister: Precautions for the charcoal canister: Owners may encounter difficulty starting the engine due to an overfilled fuel tank, which could indicate an issue with the gasoline evaporation control system where the charcoal canister is located. A constantly open canister purge valve allows all fuel vapor from the tank to enter the intake manifold, causing the ECU to detect an overly rich air-fuel mixture and preventing startup. A constantly closed valve leads to saturation of fuel vapor in the canister, with excess vapor escaping directly into the atmosphere, resulting in strong gasoline odors inside the vehicle. Advantages of the charcoal canister: It utilizes proprietary non-bonded activated carbon technology, replacing traditional methods that use binders like coal tar or starch. Free from binder components, it relies entirely on the affinity between carbon molecules and the unique properties of the raw material. Scientifically formulated, it effectively prevents pore blockage and maximizes the adsorption capacity of its highly developed porous structure.

How Many Points Can Be Deducted During the Probationary License Period?

Under normal circumstances, a driver's license has 12 points that can be deducted within each scoring cycle. Below are some driving tips and precautions for new drivers: Driving Tips for New Drivers: When not pressing the accelerator, keep your right foot on the brake. New drivers may not be very familiar with the car, and in an emergency, they might mistake the accelerator for the brake. While driving, new drivers often struggle with judging the depth of the accelerator, leading to unintentional speeding. Unless on a highway, it's best to maintain a speed of around 60 km/h initially, as this helps with control. As experience grows, the speed can gradually be increased. Precautions for New Drivers: New drivers should practice driving on familiar roads to develop a sense of direction and road awareness. Some drivers lose their sense of direction as soon as they enter the cockpit, forgetting their planned route and ending up driving in circles.
