1. Abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel while stationary: This is likely caused by the friction between the horn wire transmission spring steel plate and the steering wheel. The sound usually comes from inside the car and is a rustling metal friction noise. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. 2. If the abnormal noise occurs while driving: The sound usually comes from the front suspension outside the vehicle. If it's a sharp squeaking sound, it may be due to excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in, causing tire scrubbing noise when the front wheels don't turn parallel during steering. If it's a clicking or rattling sound, it indicates excessive wear of the car's half-shaft CV joint, which needs replacement. Typically, noise when turning left indicates damage to the right-side CV joint.

How Long is the Lifespan of a Ternary Lithium Battery?

Theoretically, the lifespan of a ternary lithium battery is 2000 charge-discharge cycles. If charged once a day, its lifespan can last for 5-8 years or even over a decade. Below are specific details about ternary lithium batteries: 1. Battery Material: The anode of a ternary lithium battery is mostly made of graphite, while the cathode is made of ternary materials. Some ternary lithium batteries use nickel, cobalt, and manganese for the cathode, while others use nickel, cobalt, and aluminum. 2. Advantages: Ternary lithium batteries have better low-temperature performance and higher energy density compared to lithium iron phosphate batteries, but their safety is not as good as that of lithium iron phosphate batteries.

What is the difference between 12V and 24V car fans?

The difference between 12V and 24V car fans lies in their compatible voltages and application environments. Here are the details: 1. Differences: A 12V car fan can only be matched with a 12V DC power source and cannot be adapted to a 24V DC power source. A 24V car fan plugged into a 12V power source will noticeably slow down or even fail to work. 2. Application environments for 12V and 24V power sources: 12V voltage is typically used for engines with small compression ratios and displacements. 24V power sources are suitable for large vehicles with high compression ratios and large displacements. Because large vehicles have high compression ratios and significant friction coefficients in various parts, the starting force is hindered, so high-voltage and high-current starters are required for ignition.

What is the Difference Between New Energy Vehicles and Electric Vehicles?

New energy vehicles and electric vehicles differ in the following aspects: 1. Battery: New energy vehicles use lithium batteries, while electric vehicles generally use lead-acid batteries. Most new energy vehicles support fast charging, whereas electric vehicles do not. 2. Manufacturing process: New energy vehicles are produced according to automotive manufacturing standards, whereas electric vehicles, although following automotive processes, still have significant differences compared to cars. 3. Materials and components: The components of electric vehicles are inferior to those of cars, such as body door panels. Both new energy vehicles and electric vehicles use steel plates with a thickness of 1.5mm. 4. Power motor: New energy vehicles mostly use permanent magnet synchronous motors, while electric vehicles commonly use DC or AC motors.

What does OBD fault mean?

OBD stands for "On-Board Diagnostics". When a fault occurs in systems or related components connected to the control system, it can send warnings to the driver. The OBD device monitors multiple systems and components including the engine, catalytic converter, particulate trap, oxygen sensors, emission control system, fuel system, and EGR. Additional information: Below are details about OBD faults: 1. Identifying the source of the fault to clear the OBD indicator light can be somewhat challenging. The simplest method is by reading the fault codes, because OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which has the capability to detect and analyze emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes. Therefore, by reading the fault codes, we can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. 2. OBD connects various emission-related component information to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which has the capability to detect and analyze emission-related faults. When an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and alerts the driver through the malfunction indicator light. The ECU ensures access to and processing of fault information through a standard data interface.

What lights to use when going straight through an intersection in Subject 3?

In the voice command lighting test of Subject 3 driving exam, when hearing the instruction "go straight through the intersection", the examinee should use low beam headlights; another scenario is when prompted to pass through an intersection without traffic lights, then the examinee should alternately switch between high and low beams twice. Exam tips: 1. Upon hearing "approaching intersection", the examinee should brake to reduce speed, observe traffic conditions from both sides, and pass safely. At signalized intersections, follow traffic light instructions. If traffic congestion prevents movement, stop the vehicle behind the safety line and wait - stopping within the intersection is prohibited. 2. If there's a crosswalk, follow crosswalk operation requirements simultaneously. 3. Following the five essentials of defensive driving: "left foot not constantly pressing, right foot not idly pressing" - when not accelerating, the right foot shouldn't rest on the accelerator pedal but should hover over the brake pedal. When stopping to yield, always engage the handbrake first before shifting to neutral. Never stop while holding the clutch in gear when waiting. Restarting must use half-clutch technique before releasing the handbrake. 4. During night tests, "alternate between high and low beams" should be demonstrated more than twice as a signal.
