The symptoms of a faulty oil pressure sensor are: the oil warning light will stay on constantly, and it becomes impossible to monitor the real-time oil condition. The oil pressure sensor is used to detect the engine's oil pressure, so when it fails, you cannot know the real-time oil status. If you continue driving when the oil pressure is too high or when there's insufficient oil, it can cause significant damage to the engine, potentially leading to complete engine failure. The functions of the high and low pressure settings in a car's oil pressure sensor are: low pressure prevents bearing seizure due to insufficient oil; high pressure prevents excessive oil from overloading the oil pump and reduces mechanical resistance, thereby improving the vehicle's power output.

What is the Solution for Engine Auto Start-Stop Malfunction?

Engine auto start-stop malfunction can be resolved by: 1. Checking if the system is turned off; 2. Inspecting and repairing the auto start-stop system wiring. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving and restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. The working principle of the engine auto start-stop is: by equipping a traditional engine with an enhanced motor that has idle start-stop functionality, the engine completely shuts off when the vehicle meets the conditions for idle stop. When the vehicle needs to start moving again, the idle start-stop motor system quickly responds to the driver's start command, rapidly restarting the engine for seamless transition.
