Causes of intermittent malfunction of the Cruze tachometer: speedometer issue, wheel speed sensor problem, odometer sensor fault. Detailed explanation of causes: Speedometer issue: The speedometer in the instrument cluster malfunctions, causing the needle to stop moving. Wheel speed sensor problem: The vehicle's wheel speed sensor fails, resulting in the tachometer not functioning. Odometer sensor fault: The vehicle's mileage sensor malfunctions, leading to the tachometer not working. Tachometer function: Function: The tachometer is typically located within the instrument panel and operates based on magnetic principles. It receives pulse signals generated when the primary current in the ignition coil is interrupted, converting these signals into displayable RPM values. The faster the engine rotates, the more pulses the ignition coil generates, resulting in higher RPM readings on the display.

What causes the abnormal noise after braking?

The reasons for abnormal noise after braking are: 1. Metal hard spots on brake pads: Small metal particles on the brake pads can produce a sharp noise when braking. Try slamming the brakes a few times or sanding/replacing the brake pads; 2. Severely worn brake discs: After prolonged use, deep grooves may form on the brake discs where the pads make contact, causing noise during braking; 3. Small stones or water film between the brake disc and pad: If driving on gravel roads, in sandy conditions, or right after washing the car, check for and remove any small stones or press the brakes several times to eliminate the water film.

Does the 48V Mild Hybrid System Belong to New Energy?

48V mild hybrid vehicles are not classified as new energy vehicles. Below are relevant extended contents: Introduction to 48V Mild Hybrid Vehicles: 48V mild hybrid vehicles cannot operate purely on electric power. They function by increasing the standard voltage of vehicle equipment to 48V, enabling the support of higher-power onboard systems. This allows better integration with other vehicle systems and optimizes engine start-stop, acceleration, and braking conditions. Introduction to New Energy Vehicles: These are vehicles that use fuel sources other than gasoline or diesel as their power source. They are categorized into: hybrid electric vehicles, which use both conventional and unconventional fuel sources; pure electric vehicles, which rely solely on electric motors for power; and fuel cell electric vehicles, which use hydrogen fuel as their power source.

What is the method for cleaning a car radiator?

The method for cleaning a car radiator is: 1. Use a professional car radiator descaler which can clean without disassembly, even while the car is running; 2. Directly pour the cleaning agent into the car's water circulation system and let it soak, then idle or drive for 20 to 30 minutes; 3. Drain the descaler from the radiator and system, then rinse repeatedly with water to effectively remove scale, rust, sludge, and various harmful substances from the engine's water circulation system. The car radiator is located behind the air conditioning condenser. Opening the engine compartment will reveal the radiator's upper cover, and removing the front bumper cover will clearly show the radiator's position.
