When the OBD light is on in a diesel car, it indicates that the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard or there is an engine malfunction. Below are the relevant details: Introduction: If a fault occurs, consider replacing the carbon dioxide sensor and cleaning the three-way catalytic converter. Additionally, repair the three-way catalytic converter. Extended Information: When the vehicle starts and performs a self-check, the engine malfunction indicator light will illuminate. If the engine malfunction indicator light stays on, it suggests there may be a mechanical issue with the engine. There are many reasons why this fault light stays on, and it is generally difficult to diagnose and resolve on your own. It is best to stop the vehicle and, if necessary, take it to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. When the vehicle starts and performs a self-check, the coolant temperature indicator light will illuminate, showing two possible colors: a blue light indicates the coolant temperature is too low, while a red light indicates the coolant temperature is too high.

Does China V Emission Standard Include Three-Way Catalytic Converter?

China V emission standard vehicles are equipped with three-way catalytic converters. Below is relevant information about three-way catalytic converters: 1. Function: The three-way catalytic converter, installed as the most crucial external purification device in a vehicle's exhaust system, transforms harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. 2. Working Principle: When high-temperature vehicle exhaust passes through the purification device, the catalyst in the three-way catalytic converter enhances the activity of CO, HC, and NOx gases, promoting specific oxidation-reduction chemical reactions. CO oxidizes into colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas at high temperatures; HC compounds oxidize into water (H2O) and carbon dioxide; and NOx reduces into nitrogen and oxygen. These three harmful gases are converted into harmless substances, thereby purifying vehicle exhaust.

What is the general height of a tank truck?

The general height of a tank truck is 3.9 meters. Below are the characteristics of tank trucks: 1. Comfortable and spacious: Tank trucks combine the comfort of a sedan with considerable luggage space, featuring a stable and mature appearance. 2. Economical and practical: Tank trucks are a derivative of sedans developed under the trend of people's admiration for nature and enthusiasm for travel. Compared to SUVs and MPVs, they have lower purchase prices and usage costs, along with a more compact body for easier driving and parking. 3. Weight reduction: Frameless tank trucks lack center beams, side beams, and cross beams between the two bolster beams. The tank body is welded together with the draft sill and bolster beams, eliminating the need for connecting devices between the tank body and the frame, as well as straps. This reduces the weight of the tank truck and maximizes the load-bearing capacity of the tank body's metal materials.

What to Do If the Driver's License Is Lost?

Go to the local traffic police station or the online service hall to apply for a replacement. The process for replacing a lost driver's license is as follows: 1. There is no need to report the loss of the driver's license; you can directly apply for a replacement: Bring your ID card, residence permit or temporary residence permit (if in a temporary residence), and the photo collection receipt to the vehicle management office where the license was issued. Fill out a lost declaration, and then you can proceed with the replacement. 2. Cases where the new driver's license can be obtained on the same day: The photo collection receipt needs to be obtained from a specialized photo studio that can take ID photos. Just ask for a digital photo collection receipt for the driver's license. The vehicle management office can also take the photo, but the price is definitely higher than outside. It is recommended to take the photo in advance at an external photo studio.

Can 205 rims accommodate 225 tires?

From the perspective of vehicle safety, it is not advisable to replace the original 205 tires with 225 tires. It is recommended to maintain the same tire specifications as those originally equipped on the vehicle. If there is a need to change the tire specifications, it is essential to visit a professional modification shop for tire upgrades or consult the vehicle manufacturer. Size specifications: 205 refers to the tire width of 205mm, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire's height to its width, meaning the height is 60% of the width. A smaller number indicates a flatter tire. R denotes the tire construction, indicating that the tire is of radial construction, meaning the cords are arranged radially within the tire body. 16 represents the rim diameter. Advantages of switching to 225: Due to the increased tire width, the vehicle's grip performance improves, driving stability is enhanced, braking performance is better, and safety is increased. Disadvantages of switching to 225: Increased tire width leads to higher fuel consumption, slightly reduced acceleration, and minimal change in noise levels.
