There are mainly 7 reasons for the engine warning light in a Volvo S90: Sensor failure: The sensors mentioned here include coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Fuel quality issues: If fuel and engine oil are not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear and trigger the warning light. Poor combustion of air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon deposits or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, and fuel line blockage can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: Intake turbocharging pipes and turbochargers can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, high oil consumption, reduced power, metal noises, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If there are problems with the car's intake, it may lead to engine pipe blockage, and in severe cases, trigger the engine warning light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can cause intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust faults can also trigger the engine warning light. The rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing failures are all causes of exhaust problems, with the catalytic converter being the most common. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or engine fuel system failures can easily cause catalytic converter issues. Anti-theft system failure: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally and trigger the engine warning light. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, whether there is shaking, black smoke, etc. If so, try not to restart the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the "on" position without pressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light on the dashboard turns off. If the warning light does not turn off, visit a service station as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service station can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, obtain fault information, and perform targeted repairs.

Will insurance cover engine water damage without wading insurance?

If the engine is flooded without wading insurance but the vehicle has comprehensive insurance, the insurance company will not compensate because the comprehensive insurance clause clearly states that engine damage caused by water ingress is an exclusion. In July 2020, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission issued guidelines for comprehensive auto insurance reform. After the reform was officially implemented, the main coverage of comprehensive insurance includes wading insurance liability. At that time, if the engine is flooded without wading insurance but with comprehensive insurance, the insurance will cover it. Compensation conditions: (1) If the engine of the insured vehicle is damaged due to the following reasons while being used by the insured or their legally permitted driver, the insurer will compensate according to the insurance contract: 1. During heavy rain or flooding, the insured vehicle's exhaust pipe or intake pipe is submerged, and the driver continues to start the vehicle or uses inertia to start the vehicle; 2. After heavy rain or flooding, the vehicle is started without necessary treatment. (2) In the event of an accident covered by this additional insurance, the insurer will compensate for necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by the insured or their representative to prevent or reduce the loss of the insured vehicle through rescue and protective measures. The maximum compensation amount for this expense is limited to the insured amount of the vehicle loss insurance.

What is the fuel tank capacity of Guangben in liters?

Guangben has a fuel tank capacity of 60L. Here is more information: 1. Generally, small cars have a fuel tank capacity of 35-45 liters, while medium-sized cars have a fuel tank capacity of about 55-75 liters. After filling up the tank, the car can usually travel about 500 kilometers. The size of the fuel tank depends on the car's displacement and fuel consumption; larger fuel consumption means a larger tank, and smaller fuel consumption means a smaller tank. 2. The design of a car's fuel tank capacity generally allows for a driving range of 400-600 kilometers. Lighter cars with smaller displacements have correspondingly smaller fuel tank capacities, while heavier cars with larger displacements naturally have larger fuel tank capacities. However, the maximum driving range on a full tank is mostly between 400-600 kilometers.

What does Michelin tires mean?

Michelin tires: 1. Unidirectional tires: Mount the tire on the rim according to the rotation arrow indicated on the tire sidewall. The rotation direction on the tire sidewall should match the vehicle's forward direction. 2. Asymmetric tread tires: When mounting the tire on the rim, ensure the side marked with 'outside' faces outward. If the tire side has white raised letters or a sidewall protection layer, install that side outward.
