p2138 fault code indicates that there is a problem with the throttle or accelerator pedal sensor of the car. The solution is to first detect the cause of the fault, then repair it at a repair shop or 4S store, and finally clear the fault code. More information about car faults is as follows: 1. Throttle fault. When the throttle fails, the vehicle will show symptoms such as engine shaking, unstable idle speed, weak acceleration, and difficulty in cold start. In this case, the throttle needs to be cleaned again, especially the oil sludge attached to the throttle. If the throttle is damaged, it needs to be replaced in time. 2. Accelerator pedal sensor problem. When the accelerator pedal fails, the vehicle will show problems such as weak acceleration, severe jerking, and no response when stepping on the accelerator. In this case, the accelerator pedal sensor should be checked, and high-quality fuel should be used daily.

Can I renew my driver's license in another province when it expires?

You can renew your driver's license in another province before it expires, but not after. According to the regulations on the use of driver's licenses, you are not allowed to directly apply for renewal in a non-local area when your driver's license expires. However, you can first transfer it to your place of residence and then handle the renewal procedures together. For out-of-province renewal of a driver's license, you need to process it before the license expires. After expiration, you can only apply for renewal at the vehicle management office in the issuing location of the driver's license. To process an out-of-province renewal of a driver's license, you need to bring the driver's license, the original and a copy of the driver's ID card, three one-inch color photos of the driver, and a physical examination report issued by a county-level or above medical institution to the vehicle management office to fill out an application form. Generally, the renewal process takes about one to three days.
