Here are the reasons why the Excelle does not respond when stepping on the accelerator: 1. Transmission failure: The transmission is relatively easy to diagnose. If there is a problem with the transmission mechanism, the accelerator pedal cannot be pressed down, and the engine speed will suddenly increase from 2000 rpm to 4000 rpm. Because the power is cut off, the engine suddenly has zero load, and the speed will fluctuate. Common engine problems include issues with the transmission control system. The engine light will come on, and the fault light will definitely store the fault. Use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code. 2. Throttle body: Throttle body failure. 3. Accelerator pedal: Accelerator pedal failure. 4. Brake override system: Modern cars are also equipped with a brake override system. If the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are pressed simultaneously, the brake pedal takes priority, and the accelerator will not respond. Check if the floor mat is secured. If the floor mat accidentally touches the brake pedal, even slightly, it may trigger a brake signal, causing the brake override system to activate.

How Many Years Can a Private Car Be Driven?

A private car can be driven for 20 years without any issues. Here are the relevant regulations regarding the scrapping of private cars: 1. Interpretation of the Scrapping Policy: The 15-year scrapping limit for cars has been abolished and replaced with a guideline of scrapping after 600,000 kilometers. Therefore, as long as the car is well-maintained, driving it for 20 years is generally not a problem. 2. Mandatory Scrapping: The new standard stipulates that vehicles failing safety or environmental standards during an inspection cycle will be mandatorily scrapped. The power inspection project will also replace the current fuel consumption project to phase out vehicles with poor performance indicators.

How to Disable a Car Anti-Theft Lock?

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a period of time, wait for the engine's protection data to clear, and then reconnect it. Typically, a power interruption of about 10 seconds is sufficient. Below are the reasons for anti-theft lock malfunctions: 1. Remote control button damage or failure: Due to frequent use, some buttons may wear out, causing the remote control to become unresponsive. It is recommended to have the remote control inspected and repaired. 2. Low battery in the remote control: Since the positions of the remote buttons vary, some buttons may become unresponsive when the battery is low. It is advised to replace the battery. 3. Central control failure of the anti-theft system: It is recommended to first check the circuit and, if necessary, replace the controller.

Can You Drive Immediately After Getting Your Driver's License?

You can drive immediately after obtaining your driver's license. Here are some precautions for novice drivers: 1. Pay attention to speed: As long as it's not on a highway, it's advisable for beginners to maintain a stable speed around 60 km/h for better control. 2. Frequently check the rearview mirrors: Rearview mirrors help observe the road conditions on both sides and behind the vehicle, especially when changing lanes, reversing, or overtaking. 3. Maintain a safe distance: Keeping a proper distance from the vehicle in front is crucial. If another car cuts in, slow down appropriately to yield. 4. Use lights correctly: Avoid turning on hazard lights randomly. Turn on the side marker lights at dusk, and use fog lights only in poor visibility conditions like foggy weather.

What is Komatsu Power Transmission Oil?

Komatsu power transmission oil is hydraulic oil. Function of hydraulic oil: Hydraulic oil is the hydraulic medium used in hydraulic systems that utilize liquid pressure energy. It plays roles in energy transmission, system lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, and cooling within hydraulic systems. Characteristics of hydraulic oil: It possesses excellent rust prevention and oxidation stability, making it resistant to oxidation and deterioration under high temperature and high pressure conditions, thus ensuring a long service life. It also has good anti-foaming properties, allowing bubbles generated under continuous mechanical stirring to dissipate easily, ensuring stable power transmission and preventing accelerated oxidation of the hydraulic oil.

Is Clutch Fluid the Same as Brake Fluid?

Clutch fluid is essentially the same as brake fluid, and most vehicles use the same type of fluid for both the brake system and the clutch system. Here are some relevant details about clutch fluid and brake fluid: 1. Replacement Interval: As consumable items, brake fluid (clutch fluid) has a replacement interval, typically every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. However, this interval is only a reference, and the actual replacement should be based on the vehicle's specific condition. 2. Function: Both brake fluid and clutch fluid use the same type of hydraulic fluid, which operates on the principle of incompressible liquids to transmit hydraulic pressure, pushing the brake calipers for braking. It differs from other fluids in terms of volatility, boiling point, corrosiveness, oxidation resistance, and flow characteristics.
