The symptoms of a broken odometer sensor are: the odometer will no longer continue to record the mileage. The odometer sensor is the vehicle speed sensor, usually installed near the output shaft of the transmission. The odometer sensor is generally Hall-type. If the odometer is functioning normally, it will intermittently ground the signal line, causing the odometer needle to swing. Nowadays, most car odometer sensors are electronic component-based. The odometer sensor typically has three wires: red, black, and green. The red wire is the power line, the black wire is the ground line, and the green wire is the signal line connected to the instrument panel. The odometer sensor measures the wheel speed based on the principle of speed measurement. According to the wheel diameter, each speed measurement cycle corresponds to one wheel rotation, and the traveled mileage is calculated by accumulating the number of wheel rotation cycles.

Can a Flood-Damaged Car Drive on Highways After Repair?

Flood-damaged cars can drive on highways after repair, but it is not recommended. Here is relevant information: Hazards: For flood-damaged cars, rainwater has caused severe damage, and even after repair, the car cannot fully return to its original condition. There is still a risk of unknown faults. Engine water damage can cause sudden stalling; transmission failure may lead to vehicle slippage or shaking, resulting in accidents; electrical circuit faults can cause short circuits and fires. Precautions: If the vehicle has been repaired after being submerged in water, it can be used. However, during the repair process, it is essential to ensure all necessary repairs are completed. All water-damaged parts should be either replaced or repaired based on their specific conditions. Electrical system wiring connectors should be thoroughly dried and rust-proofed. Check all vehicle fluids for water contamination, and if moisture is present, replace them immediately.

Why Are There So Many Second-hand BYD Han DM Cars?

BYD Han DM has many second-hand cars because it has numerous minor issues and poor resale value, leading many owners to sell them quickly. Here is some information about the BYD Han DM: Vehicle Issues: It is a hybrid model. Hybrid and pure electric models generally have low resale value in the second-hand car market because these models face issues related to range and battery warranty. Plug-in hybrid models like the Han DM and Tang DM also have to deal with charging station problems. Without solving the charging issue, usage can be very inconvenient. Powertrain: Equipped with a three-engine dual-mode powertrain system, consisting of a 2.0TI turbocharged engine and front and rear motors, enabling independent power output for the front and rear wheels. In hybrid mode, the three "engines" work simultaneously, delivering a maximum power of 371 kW and a peak torque of 720 Nm.

What does hybrid system mean?

Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) is a powertrain technology developed by Toyota for hybrid electric vehicles. It is widely used in the following models: Yaris, Auris, Prius, Avalon Hybrid, Highlander Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Estima, Alphard, Lexus RX400h/RX450h, Lexus ES300h, Lexus GS450h, Lexus LS600h/LS600hL, Lexus CT200h, Lexus 300h, Lexus HS250h, and Lexus NX300h. Additional knowledge: System principle: Toyota's HSD system replaces conventional gear transmission with an electrochemical system. New features of the hybrid system: When the vehicle is accelerating or under heavy load conditions, the electric motor can assist in driving the wheels, thereby supplementing the insufficient power output of the engine itself and improving overall vehicle performance. This system has a high degree of hybridization, reaching about 30%, and the technology is now mature and widely applied.
