What are the reasons for the Lavida's engine shaking and the engine fault light coming on?
1 Answers
There are mainly 7 reasons for the Lavida's engine fault light coming on: Sensor failure: The sensors mentioned here include the water temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake temperature sensor, oxygen sensor, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine fault light to come on. 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 fault light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the fault light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockage can all cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Turbocharging issues: The intake turbocharging pipeline and turbocharger can also cause the engine fault light to come on. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leakage, high oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust pipe. Intake issues: If the car's intake system has problems, it may cause engine pipeline blockage, and in severe cases, trigger the engine fault light. A dirty air filter that is not cleaned regularly can lead to intake problems. Exhaust issues: Exhaust faults can also cause the engine fault light to come on. The rear oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing failures are all potential 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 fuel supply system failures can easily lead to 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 fault light. If the engine fault light comes on, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally, whether there is shaking, black smoke, etc. If so, avoid restarting 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 depressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the fault light on the dashboard turns off. If the fault light remains on, visit a service station as soon as possible. The service station can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.
