There are 7 main reasons for the engine warning light in the Haval H7: Sensor malfunction: 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 experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: If fuel or engine oil is not added according to the manufacturer's requirements, it may cause engine wear and trigger the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging problems: Issues with the intake turbocharging pipeline or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leaks, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If the car's intake system malfunctions, it may cause engine pipeline blockages, and in severe cases, trigger the engine warning light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can lead to intake problems. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system failures can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues, exhaust camshaft and bearing failures, with the catalytic converter being the most frequent culprit. Using leaded gasoline, lead- or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can easily cause catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the car's electronic anti-theft system fails or the anti-theft controller does not match the engine ECU, the anti-theft system can prevent the engine from operating normally and trigger the warning light. If the engine warning light is on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally and whether there are issues like shaking or black smoke. If so, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Never restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off and wait 5-10 minutes. 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 enter self-check mode after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. Technicians can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.

What does vehicle fuel consumption mean?

Vehicle fuel consumption refers to the amount of fuel consumed per 100 kilometers driven at a certain speed, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer under objective conditions using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the vehicle model when driven at specified speeds. Fuel consumption includes constant-speed fuel consumption and road cycle fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption refers to the fuel economy indicator when the vehicle is driven at a constant speed on good road surfaces, while road cycle fuel consumption is the fuel economy indicator measured when the vehicle is driven on roads according to specified speed and time specifications in repeated cycles, also known as multi-condition road cycle fuel consumption.

Reasons for the Flashing Engine Warning Light and Battery Symbol in the New Sail

New Sail engine warning light and battery symbol flashing indicate a vehicle malfunction. Specific reasons for the flashing engine warning light and battery symbol: Dirty throttle body, carbon buildup in the intake tract, spark plug issues, or it could be due to abnormal fuel pump supply or insufficient battery charge. Problems indicated by the warning light: The engine warning light only indicates an abnormality in a certain system. To determine the specific fault, computer diagnostics are required for interpretation. Throttle body contamination or carbon buildup in the intake tract is often caused by the condensation of engine oil vapor particles on the throttle body, which accelerates battery consumption and leads to the simultaneous illumination of the battery light and engine oil light.
