There may be unstable engine idling; momentary stalling or engine shutdown may occur when starting the vehicle or decelerating to a stop while driving. Here are some related solutions: 1. External force damaging the wheel speed sensor wiring harness: For models manufactured before 2011, the wheel speed sensor wiring harness did not have extra length reserved, which often led to the harness being torn when the steering wheel was turned to its limit. The issue can be resolved by modifying the wheel speed sensor bracket to create extra length for the wiring harness, preventing future damage after replacement. 2. False damage: Dirt on the sensor head or contamination by magnetic materials can cause the wheel speed sensor to malfunction. If the wheel speed sensor frequently fails after driving through water, mud, sand, or similar conditions, it is likely due to dirt buildup and can be cleaned.

How to Deal with Abnormal Tire Pressure Signal in BYD Song Max?

BYD Song Max abnormal tire pressure signal is caused by abnormal tire pressure, unreset tire pressure monitoring, or damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. The illumination of the tire pressure monitoring indicator indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will be triggered if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset in this situation. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, the tire pressure warning light will also illuminate. For sensor damage issues, only replacement with a new component is possible.

Additionally, its one-way visibility feature serves to protect personal privacy. 2. Anti-theft and anti-shatter: Thieves with handheld tools can break car windows within five seconds to steal valuables. Anti-shatter window film can extend the time required to break the glass from seconds to nearly a minute.

Are Quick Tire Repair Nails Useful?

Quick tire repair nails are useful. Here is some relevant information about tires: 1. Main materials of tires: The main material of tires is rubber. The characteristic of rubber is that it ages after prolonged use or storage, leading to significant changes in the physical properties of the tire, such as hardness and wear resistance. If an aged tire continues to be used, it may affect vehicle performance at best, or cause a tire blowout at worst. 2. Tire lifespan: Generally, all-season tires or economical tires have a lifespan of 3-5 years, with a mileage of about 50,000 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, a tire's lifespan of one year after leaving the factory is sufficient for use. However, for high-performance tires, the lifespan is only 20,000-30,000 kilometers.

What is the fuel consumption per hour when idling in place?

Generally, engines below 1.6L consume approximately 0.6 liters of fuel per hour when idling, while 2.0L engines consume about 1 liter. Prolonged idling can cause significant damage to the vehicle. Here are the related details: 1. Idling can lead to oil burning: During idling, the throttle opening is small, and the vacuum inside the intake manifold is high, making it easy for oil vapor to be drawn into the intake manifold. Some of it deposits inside, especially in turbocharged models. 2. Idling can cause carbon buildup: Extended idling results in a richer air-fuel mixture, which can lead to carbon deposits in the engine. Additionally, during stop-and-go driving at low speeds, the engine alternates between enriching and reducing fuel injection, which also promotes carbon buildup.
