Possible causes for the Jeep Compass air conditioning not cooling include: 1. Insufficient Freon: The Freon level is too low. 2. Compressor issues: Problems with the compressor or expansion valve, leading to abnormal pressure in the air conditioning system. 3. Air conditioning heat dissipation system issues: Problems with the heat dissipation system, severe blockage of the condenser and radiator, resulting in poor heat dissipation and excessively high temperatures, causing the air conditioning to not cool properly. Relevant information is as follows: The Compass air conditioning cooling is controlled by the AC switch on the air conditioning control panel. When the air conditioning is turned on, the AC switch is activated, the compressor electromagnetic clutch engages, and the compressor starts working. The compressor compresses the refrigerant, turning it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which then dissipates heat to the air at the condenser in front of the vehicle, condensing into a high-pressure liquid. After passing through the receiver-drier and being filtered and dried, it reaches the expansion valve, where it is throttled and depressurized into a low-pressure liquid, finally reaching the evaporator inside the vehicle cabin. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator, thereby achieving cooling. For heating, the AC switch is turned off, and hot water from the engine radiator flows to the heater core in the blower unit. The blower forces air over the heater core, producing warm air for heating.

How many points are deducted for lane changing over the line on the highway?

Three points will be deducted, and a fine will be imposed. This behavior is considered a violation of prohibition signs or markings. Below is more information about driving on the highway: 1. Vehicles are not allowed to reverse, drive in the opposite direction, cross the central divider, or stop in the lane on the highway. 2. If driving a medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicle, or a hazardous material transport vehicle on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or if driving any other vehicle exceeding the speed limit by less than 20%, three points will also be deducted. 3. Most sections of the highway have dashed lines, while solid lines are placed at tunnel entrances and exits, tunnel road surfaces, ramps, emergency lanes, and other areas where lane changing is prohibited. These solid lines serve the same purpose as those on urban roads—lane changing or overtaking is not allowed, and drivers must follow the vehicle in front in sequence.

Does Tire Sealant Damage Tires?

Tire sealant can cause damage to tires. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Prolonged use of tire sealant can corrode tires, rendering them unusable: Tire sealant is designed for emergency use only, primarily for immediate repair of punctured car tires to allow continued driving. 2. Situations for using tire sealant and precautions: When a car tire gets punctured while driving and there are no nearby auto repair shops, you can use tire sealant for emergency treatment of the punctured area. Then, drive to the nearest repair shop for proper tire repair. During the repair, ensure the area where the sealant was used is cleaned thoroughly; otherwise, it may cause damage to the car's rims or tires.

Can Aftermarket Catalytic Converters Be Used?

It is best not to use aftermarket catalytic converters. The catalytic converter is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system, converting harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx in the exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The drawbacks of aftermarket catalytic converters include: 1. Poor performance: Aftermarket catalytic converters may not perform as well as the original equipment, leading to non-compliant exhaust emissions; 2. Lack of certification: Unlike OEM catalytic converters produced by vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket ones may not have relevant certification or quality assurance; 3. Shorter lifespan: The quality of aftermarket catalytic converters varies, and their service life may be shorter.

How to Measure the Condition of an Oxygen Sensor?

Methods for measuring the condition of an oxygen sensor are as follows: 1. Check with a decoder: If the oxygen sensor malfunctions, the car's ECU will store a fault code. You can directly use a decoder to detect it. If a fault code appears on the machine, it indicates an oxygen sensor failure. 2. Check the resistance of the oxygen sensor heating element: Under normal conditions, the resistance of the oxygen sensor heating element is 1-5 ohms. Use a multimeter's resistance setting to measure the resistance between the two ends of the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector to determine if there is a malfunction. 3. Check the power supply of the oxygen sensor heating element: When using a multimeter to check the oxygen sensor heating element, start the engine and measure the power supply voltage at both ends of the oxygen sensor wiring harness connector. The normal voltage should be above 11V.

What to do if the car is scratched and dented?

The solutions for scratches and dents on the car are as follows: 1. If the scratch is deep, exposing the primer or leaving a deep groove, you need to first apply putty to smooth it out, then apply red putty, followed by spraying primer to check the effect, and finally spray the paint (computer-mixed paint to avoid color difference). This process takes 1-2 hours and yields excellent results, making it impossible to tell that the paint was repaired. 2. If the car is insured, you can directly call the insurance company to report the incident and have them send someone to repair it. The insurance company may also provide free repairs for the vehicle. However, it is crucial to protect the scene and call promptly; if there is no scene, the insurance company may reduce the compensation amount.

How to Determine the Distance Between the Left and Right Corners of the Car Front and Obstacles

Methods to determine the distance between the left and right corners of the car front and obstacles mainly include the following scenarios: 1. If the obstacle is a pedestrian: When you can see the pedestrian's heels, the distance between the car and the pedestrian should be about 4 meters. 2. If you can see the pedestrian's knees: The distance between the car and the pedestrian should be about 2.5 meters. 3. If the obstacle is another car: Focus on the front car's bumper. The rear of a sedan is generally about 42 centimeters from the ground. When you can see the lower edge of the front car's tire, the distance between the front car and your car should be about 4.6 meters.
