What are the reasons why the Magotan cannot start?
2 Answers
The Magotan may fail to start due to various reasons. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons why the Magotan cannot start: 1. Smart key battery dead: When the smart key of the vehicle runs out of battery, the key's transmission power is low, making it difficult for the in-car sensor to detect the corresponding signal, thus preventing the one-button start from completing the ignition. 2. Gear not in P position: For automatic transmission vehicles, manufacturers generally specify in the manual that the gear must be in the P position before starting. 3. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel lock is an anti-theft feature. In the locked state, the one-button start function cannot complete the ignition. 4. Insufficient battery voltage, dead battery, or battery damage: When the vehicle is used for a long time without timely charging, the battery may run out of power, leading to failure to start normally.
My Magotan wouldn't start last time, and after struggling for a while I found the issue was with the battery. Battery aging or insufficient voltage are common causes, especially after driving for several years when electrode corrosion or electrolyte drying occurs. If you only hear a clicking sound when starting but the engine doesn't turn over, it might be a stuck starter or relay failure. I've tried gently tapping the starter housing which sometimes helps. The fuel system is also crucial - for example, a worn fuel pump causing low pressure, or clogged injectors preventing fuel delivery. Don't forget that weak key signals can trigger anti-theft lockout - just replace the key battery. Before starting, check interior light brightness to assess battery level. Regular maintenance helps avoid these issues.
