Here are the relevant reasons for the malfunction light illumination: Node failure: There is a fault in the PT-CAN related wiring or a certain node. Using a fault detection tool, the electronic parking brake control module (EPB) stored one current fault code: "U111281-ESP-CAN signal failure"; the electronic stability program (ESP) module also stored one current fault code: "U100104-CAN passive error"; the engine control module (ECM) stored two historical fault codes: "U01018-Lost communication with TCU" and "U012687-Lost communication with SAS"; no fault codes were stored in other modules. Analyzing the fault codes, it is inferred that there is a fault in the PT-CAN related wiring or a certain node. Gateway internal fault: A loose connection in the gateway's internal circuit causes low network voltage. Measuring the battery voltage, the voltage when the ignition switch is off is 12.6V, the voltage when starting the engine is 10.9V, and the charging voltage is 14.3V, indicating the battery is normal. Based on repair experience, it was decided to first check the network voltage of the SAS (safety airbag module). Disconnecting the SAS wiring connector, the voltage on terminal 2 (CAN-H) was measured at 2.73V, and the voltage on terminal 3 (CAN-L) was 2.31V, which is normal.

The Difference Between Independent Suspension and Non-independent Suspension

The differences between independent suspension and non-independent suspension are: 1. Different structures: Independent suspension means each side's wheels are individually connected to the body via elastic suspension; Non-independent suspension means both sides' wheels are connected by an integrated frame, with the wheels and axle together suspended under the body. 2. Different characteristics: Independent suspension reduces overall body impact and improves wheel traction; Non-independent suspension features simple design structure, lighter weight, and smaller space occupation. Additionally, their classifications differ: Independent suspension mainly includes MacPherson strut, double wishbone, multi-link, etc., and most modern cars adopt independent suspension systems; Non-independent suspension commonly includes torsion beam, trailing arm, and leaf spring types.

What is the fuel tank capacity of a 2012 Passat?

The 2013 Passat, launched in 2012, comes with 11 variants, all featuring a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicle is equipped with 1.4L, 1.8L, 2.0L turbocharged, and 3.0L naturally aspirated engines. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed wet dual-clutch, and 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearboxes. All variants are front-wheel drive. The 2014 and 2015 Passat models also have a 70-liter fuel tank. Starting from the 2016 model, the fuel tank capacity of the Passat decreased slightly: the 2016 and 2017 models have a 69-liter tank, the 2019 and 2020 models have a 66-liter tank, and the 2021 and 2022 models feature a 68.5-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with 'E' and 'F'. When the needle is close to 'E', it indicates low fuel, while nearing 'F' means the tank is nearly full.
