Emission malfunction light may illuminate due to the following reasons and corresponding solutions: 1. Poor fuel combustion state, unburned or incomplete fuel combustion, engine knocking, excessively high engine temperature - requires throttle valve cleaning. 2. Low-quality fuel - since engines have high fuel quality requirements, poor fuel may cause dirt accumulation inside engine cylinders, requiring carbon deposit removal. 3. Cold starts during sudden temperature drops - the emission light may illuminate due to ECU temperature calibration issues during startup, which stabilizes when temperature remains constant. 4. Carbon deposits on piston tops causing poor atomization, weakened spark plug performance, or ignition coil failure leading to poor ignition. 5. Oxygen sensor malfunction (either the sensor itself or its circuit) or control unit failure - requires oxygen sensor inspection.

Why does the car indicate that hill start assist is unavailable?

When the car indicates that hill start assist is unavailable, it is usually due to a faulty wheel sensor. The wheel speed sensor is used to measure the rotational speed of the car's wheels. For modern vehicles, wheel speed information is essential, as systems such as the vehicle dynamic control system, electronic stability program, anti-lock braking system, and automatic transmission control system all rely on this data. Common types of wheel speed sensors include magnetic induction wheel speed sensors and Hall-effect wheel speed sensors. A magnetic induction wheel speed sensor typically consists of a magnetic sensing head and a toothed ring. The sensing head includes components like a permanent magnet, pole shaft, and induction coil, while the toothed ring is a moving part usually mounted on the wheel hub or axle, rotating with the wheel. The wheel speed sensing head remains stationary, with a specific gap maintained between its magnetic pole and the toothed ring's end face.

What are the methods for removing old car paint?

Methods for removing old car paint: 1. Use a scraper to remove old paint. The scraper is used where the old paint film has peeled or cracked. Insert the tip of the scraper between the peeling layers or into the cracks to remove the old paint film piece by piece; 2. The heating method can also be used to remove old paint, which involves using the high temperature of a flame to soften or vulcanize the old paint film, making it easier to remove with tools like scrapers; 3. Chemical removal of old paint involves using paint strippers to eliminate the old coating. Paint strippers rely on chemical reactions to remove old paint. Different paint films require different strippers. When using paint strippers, pay attention to ventilation, labor protection measures, and chemical storage issues.
