What causes the engine warning light to illuminate and the car to shake after wading through water?
1 Answers
It is caused by water entering the engine. Water enters the engine through the air filter, increasing the intake resistance. The presence of water in the combustion chamber affects the normal operation of the engine's ignition system, preventing proper combustion and leading to the issue. Here are some methods to avoid vehicle wading: 1. Suggestion one: When parking, try to find a relatively higher place to park. During the rainy season, pay extra attention while driving. When encountering a waterlogged area, the first priority is to clearly judge whether the vehicle can pass. Under uncertain conditions, never drive recklessly. 2. Suggestion two: It may cause the engine to stall due to water exposure. When driving through waterlogged areas, whether it's a manual or automatic transmission vehicle, generally, do not cut off the fuel supply, do not shift gears, and do not slow down the vehicle.
