The reasons for the tire pressure monitoring not displaying are: 1. The battery of the tire pressure monitoring module is depleted; 2. The inspection port of the tire pressure monitoring module is blocked, preventing the module from detecting; 3. The pairing of the tire pressure monitoring system has failed and needs to be re-paired; 4. The tire pressure monitoring module is damaged, resulting in weak signal transmission. The main factor affecting tire performance is tire pressure. Both underinflation and overinflation can impair tire performance, reduce service life, and ultimately compromise driving safety. The function of tire pressure monitoring is to automatically and continuously monitor tire pressure while driving, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety.

Hi, the tire pressure monitoring system in my car often has issues, and the most common reasons are actually quite straightforward. The sensor battery runs out—once it's depleted, it can't send signals; also, the sensor itself might be damaged, such as from impact or aging, causing it to malfunction. If the onboard receiver is faulty, it won't receive tire pressure data, and nothing will be displayed. Additionally, the system might need a reset, especially after changing tires—if not initialized, the system can't read the information. Strong electromagnetic interference near the vehicle, like parking next to a signal tower, can also disrupt signal transmission. If you encounter this while driving, it's best to first check the tire pressure with a portable gauge to ensure safety, then visit a reliable repair shop as soon as possible to avoid compromising safe driving. Regularly checking the sensor battery lifespan is a good habit that can prevent a lot of trouble.

Why is the turn signal not working?

Check whether the turn signal bulb is damaged and inspect the relay for any faults. The reasons for the turn signal not working are as follows: Check if the electrical hot wire has power: First, inspect whether the hot wire terminal of the flasher relay has power. If there is no power, check for any open circuit between the wire and the power source. If there is power, use a screwdriver to connect the two terminals of the flasher relay. If the turn signal lights up, it indicates a fault with the flasher relay, which should be replaced promptly. Inspect the flasher relay: If the light does not come on, the flasher relay should be checked. Open the cover of the flasher relay and inspect whether the coil and resistor are intact. If the resistor heats up but the contacts cannot close, press the movable contact. If the turn signal lights up at this point, it indicates a fault with the relay, which should be replaced. Fault with the turn signal switch: If the turn signal does not light up, it may be due to a fault with the turn signal switch. Use a screwdriver to connect the hot wire terminal of the turn signal switch with the left and right light wire terminals separately. If the light comes on, it indicates a fault with the turn signal switch, which should be removed for repair or replacement.

What does EPC mean in a car?

The EPC indicator light has two states of illumination: during power-on self-test and under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is monitoring the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the engine is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. In other cases, if the EPC light remains on after the vehicle starts or does not turn off for a long time, the main causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle body, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. The following are detailed explanations of other reasons that may cause the EPC light to illuminate: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will activate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle body fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle body. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake, triggering the indicator light. Fuel system fault: Issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization can cause the light to turn on. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with components like the intake valves may also prompt the EPC light. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the computer. Brake light fault: Situations like non-functional brake lights, faulty brake switches, or brake circuit issues can trigger the EPC light. Solutions for when the EPC light illuminates: Troubleshoot intake system issues, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle body, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant parts. Re-flash ECU-related data. If the EPC light turns on, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to check if the light remains on. If it does not, the issue might be due to temporary interference. If the light persists or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and repair to eliminate potential safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system takes predefined actions to address powertrain issues. Common EPC indicator lights usually display two colors: yellow and red. If the EPC warning light is yellow and the car can still operate normally, proceed cautiously to a repair facility for inspection. If the EPC warning light is red, it indicates a more severe issue. The driver should pull over immediately and contact a professional for repairs. Continuing to drive under such conditions may damage core components or compromise driving safety.

How Many Chances Are There for Driving Test Subject 4?

According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," there is no limit to the number of attempts for Subject 4. If the first test of the day is not passed, an immediate re-test is allowed. If it is still not passed, you need to rebook the test, and no additional fee is required for the re-test. However, it is important to note that the validity period of the Driving Skills Test Permit is three years. If the applicant fails to complete the test within the validity period, the results of the already passed subjects will be invalidated. Subject 4 consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the theoretical test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, Subject 3 was divided into two parts: the road test and the safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as "Subject 4," which evaluates "driving ethics." Subject 4 is the colloquial term for the safety and civilization driving knowledge test under Subject 3 and is not a separate subject. Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4. The safety and civilization driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3. Subject 4 Test Notes: Test Duration: The test lasts 30 minutes. If you answer 6 questions incorrectly (12 points deducted), the test will be terminated. Number of Questions: Depending on the type of license being tested, 50 questions are randomly selected from the corresponding Subject 4 question bank. For car licenses, questions are selected from 800, while for large vehicle licenses, questions are selected from 1023. Each question is worth 2 points. Question Types: The test includes single-choice questions (including true/false questions) and multiple-choice questions. The first 45 questions are single-choice, and the last 5 are multiple-choice. The test includes animation questions, image questions, scenario recognition questions, and text-based questions. Re-test Notes: If Subject 4 is not passed, only Subject 4 needs to be re-tested. The driving school will schedule the re-test, and there is no limit to the number of re-tests. No additional fees are required for Subject 4 re-tests. Subject 4 Test Tips: Strengthen weak areas and identify the reasons for mistakes. For marked questions, do not just memorize the correct answer. Refer to regulations, textbooks, or reference materials to understand the reasons for errors and internalize them. Categorize and summarize questions. Refer to the question bank analysis to group similar questions: Many questions in the bank are similar and easily confused. Analyze and group them. For example, traffic signs for walking, hiking, pedestrian crossing, and pedestrian attention are very similar and easily confused. Learning them in categories reduces mistakes. Use memory techniques: Many questions in the bank involve numbers. Summarizing these numbers makes them easier to remember. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, with Subject 3 divided into two parts. Subject 1 refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test. Subject 3 refers to the road driving skills and safety and civilization driving knowledge test.

What is the appropriate mileage for the first maintenance?

5000 kilometers is the appropriate mileage for the first maintenance. The first maintenance for a new car should be done either after six months or upon reaching 5000 kilometers. From the time a new car leaves the factory until it is delivered to the owner, there is always a period of time involved. Therefore, the oil change cycle should be calculated based on the factory date. Although new cars undergo pre-break-in, the engine may still shed some metal particles that were not completely worn off during initial use, which can affect the lifespan of the engine oil. Owners should perform maintenance at six months or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Routine maintenance items include replacing the oil filter and air filter, which are beneficial for the vehicle.
