Once when I was driving a Honda Accord, I encountered an issue where the dashboard lights were extremely bright and the air conditioning failed. I quickly checked and found the ELD indicating overvoltage, which was actually a problem with the engine's alternator regulator. Since it manages the entire electrical system, unstable output can easily burn out bulbs and electrical components. The lesson I learned is that this fault is quite common, possibly caused by corroded or worn wiring leading to a short circuit. In severe cases, it can even cause the car to break down midway. So now, during regular maintenance, I always ask the mechanic to test the voltage readings. A simple check with a multimeter can detect problems early, preventing minor issues from turning into major repairs. It's best not to tinker with it yourself—just drive to a professional auto repair shop for inspection. Safety first, after all.

As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen quite a few cases of Honda ELD reporting high voltage. It's usually caused by a stuck voltage regulator in the alternator, leading to uncontrolled charging that can make the battery overheat or even bulge - definitely not a minor issue. During daily driving, you might notice severe flickering lights or malfunctioning electronics. In such cases, immediately pull over to check fuses and wiring connections; tightening any loose ones can provide temporary relief. For prevention, I recommend checking dashboard warning lights monthly to avoid more expensive problems like blown audio systems. Last time at the repair shop, replacing a small component cost less than 500 yuan - money well spent for peace of mind.

Honda's ELD (Electrical Load Detector) function monitors circuit load. Excessive voltage is mostly caused by the alternator's over-output or poor grounding feedback. I've encountered cases where owners complained about headlights suddenly brightening and then turning off. First, check if the alternator belt is slipping, then use a voltmeter to measure the battery terminal reading—it should normally be below 14.5 volts. A higher reading indicates a regulator malfunction. Long-term neglect can damage the control module, so timely inspection of grounding points and wire corrosion is crucial. For simple DIY, you can try cleaning the connectors, but for actual repairs, it's best to have a technician adjust it to ensure overall driving safety isn't compromised.

My Honda's ELD keeps showing high voltage, and my biggest concern is the risk of battery explosion or frying the navigation system, which would be costly to repair. Last time, I spent over a thousand replacing a sensor. The safety hazards while driving are significant, especially at night on the highway when the lights started flickering uncontrollably. I immediately stopped to check the wiring and found that a loose connector was the main culprit. I recommend not overloading electrical devices, such as plugging multiple gadgets into a car charger, as the increased load can also trigger such issues. Regular maintenance and consulting an electrician for inspections can prevent problems and save a lot of money in the long run.

Can Historical Traffic Violation Records Be Cleared?

Historical traffic violation records on a driver's license can be cleared. Typically, once the demerit points are processed and the fine is paid, the violation record will disappear. If the violation is not handled at the traffic police station, the record will remain visible. According to traffic regulations, after a motor vehicle violation occurs, it generally takes 3 to 7 days to be queried online or receive an SMS notification, with the latest not exceeding 13 working days. If the violation is confirmed on-site by a traffic officer and signed, the vehicle owner must go to the local traffic police station within 15 days of the violation to handle it. Failure to do so within 15 days will result in a daily 3% late fee, but the late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. For violations captured by electronic monitoring cameras, the vehicle owner can check the violation record on the traffic website and then go to the local traffic police station to handle it within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. There is no need to handle it within 15 days, but it is advisable not to exceed the demerit point cycle of the driver's license to avoid accumulating 12 points in the next cycle due to untimely clearance. The vehicle owner can bring their driver's license and vehicle registration to any traffic police station in the violation area for processing. If there are no demerit points, the fine can be paid directly at ICBC or online, such as through Alipay. However, if there are demerit points, the owner must first confirm the violation and points deduction at the traffic police station before paying the fine.

How to Tell if a Car is Burning Oil?

Methods to determine if a car is burning oil: 1. Check for blue smoke from the exhaust pipe: When starting the car, observe whether blue smoke comes out of the exhaust pipe. If present, it indicates oil burning, though this phenomenon can be hard to detect; 2. Inspect the inside of the exhaust pipe: Black deposits on the inner walls of the exhaust pipe suggest that some oil has mixed in during operation, indicating oil burning. The severity can be judged by the amount of deposits; 3. Check for carbon buildup on spark plugs: This method is difficult to assess and usually requires a visit to a repair shop. If oil burning occurs, carbon deposits on spark plugs will be more noticeable.

What causes the Buick Excelle to have weak acceleration and jerking during sudden acceleration?

The reasons for the Buick Excelle's weak acceleration and jerking during sudden acceleration are ignition coil failure and spark plug failure. When a cylinder misfires, the gasoline and air mixture in that cylinder cannot be ignited and will be expelled through the exhaust pipe. Spark plugs ignite gasoline by producing sparks and largely determine the engine's performance. Ignition coil failure: The corresponding cylinder of the faulty ignition coil will not work, causing idle vibration, weak throttle response, inability to accelerate, and the malfunction indicator light to turn on. If the ignition coil leaks electricity, the engine may or may not vibrate at idle, but it will definitely vibrate and lose power when accelerating. Sometimes, power interruption during acceleration causes weak acceleration and shaking. When a cylinder misfires, the gasoline and air mixture in that cylinder cannot be ignited and will be expelled through the exhaust pipe. However, since the exhaust pipe temperature is very high, the mixture will combust upon reaching the exhaust pipe due to the high temperature. This combustion generates a large amount of heat, which can clog the catalytic converter's pores, leading to catalytic converter failure. Additionally, a damaged ignition coil can cause severe engine vibration, making the car feel powerless like a tractor when accelerating; shaking and inability to shift into higher gears; the malfunction light will turn on: the car jerks backward when accelerating, then surges forward, the engine sputters, idles roughly, and the exhaust emits a strong gasoline smell. Spark plug failure: Common spark plug issues include carbon buildup, which reduces the mixture concentration in the car, leading to incomplete combustion and insufficient power. Another issue is the widening of the gap between spark plugs, which decreases engine efficiency. Spark plugs ignite gasoline by producing sparks and largely determine the engine's performance. Based on heat range, they can be classified as cold-type or hot-type spark plugs. Based on electrode material, they can be categorized as silver alloy or platinum alloy spark plugs. The most commonly used type in cars is the standard spark plug. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. When they fail, the car may not start or have difficulty starting, requiring prompt repair.
