It is likely caused by a faulty ABS pump or a dirty throttle body. Below is relevant information about the ESC system: 1. Overview: The Electronic Stability Control system is a new active safety feature in vehicles, representing an extension of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS) functionalities. It additionally incorporates a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor during cornering. The ECU controls the driving and braking forces on all four wheels to ensure lateral stability. 2. Components: This system consists of three main parts - sensors, Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. The ECU monitors vehicle operation status and intervenes in engine and braking system control. A typical ESC system includes wheel speed sensors, steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, yaw rate sensor, brake master cylinder pressure sensor, among others.

When I encountered the Jetta ESC failure and couldn't start the car, it was really frustrating. That time on the highway, the warning light came on, and the car wouldn't start afterward, forcing me to pull over and wait for rescue. After talking with the mechanic, the most common causes are battery aging—the ESC draws significant power, causing voltage drop during startup and triggering system errors that lock the system. Dirty or faulty wheel speed sensors can also mistakenly activate protection, making the system think the car is out of control and automatically disabling ignition to prevent accidents. Don’t forget to check the fuse box—if the ESC-related fuse is blown, simply replacing it might solve the issue. Software problems can sometimes be fixed by resetting with a diagnostic tool, but I recommend avoiding DIY fixes and taking the car to a shop for a proper computer scan. Regular maintenance, like cleaning sensors and replacing old batteries, can prevent such troubles—safety comes first. This experience taught me to pay more attention to dashboard warnings and not wait for major issues to escalate.

Will the Engine Stall When Driving Below 10 km/h in Second Gear?

Driving below 10 km/h in second gear will not cause the engine to stall, for the following reasons: 1. First gear is the speed for starting, typically ranging from 0-5 km/h. 2. Second gear corresponds to speeds between 5-20 km/h. 3. Third gear corresponds to speeds between 20-40 km/h. 4. Fourth gear corresponds to speeds between 40-60 km/h. 5. Fifth gear corresponds to speeds between 60-100 km/h. Methods to determine the correct gear shifting timing are as follows: 1. Upshifting timing: When the engine has ample power, it emits a dull sound. After upshifting, if there is no power shortage or shaking of the transmission mechanism, and the vehicle speed increases quickly with smooth and natural driving, it indicates accurate upshifting timing. 2. Downshifting timing: When the vehicle speed and engine RPM continue to drop, and you feel the car lacks power with the engine compartment starting to shake, it's time to downshift. Downshifting too early will cause noticeable jerking, wasting engine power, increasing fuel consumption, and negatively impacting the lifespan of the engine and transmission.

What is the battery life of the BYD Yuan EV360 in kilometers?

BYD Yuan's battery range is 305 kilometers under comprehensive driving conditions, with a maximum of 360 kilometers at constant speed. The battery life of the BYD Yuan EV360 generally varies between 1 to 8 years. With normal charging from the vehicle's generator and no battery leakage, it can last more than 3 years without issues. BYD battery-related information: 1. Battery Introduction: BYD uses lithium manganese cobalt oxide batteries, which have a high number of charge-discharge cycles and offer better safety compared to other brands' nickel-cobalt-manganese batteries. Unlike electric bicycles that use lead-acid batteries and require daily charging, the battery degradation rate is much slower, so there's no need to worry about battery issues. 2. Battery Replacement: Even if problems occur, the after-sales service directly replaces the entire battery pack assembly. Currently, only the manufacturer has the technology for battery cell testing and matching. The most important part of the battery pack is the battery cell. The intelligent temperature-controlled cooling system has a lifespan consistent with the vehicle, and the IP67-rated sealed housing will not be damaged without collision.

What kind of engine oil should be used for the Corolla 1.2T?

Toyota Corolla 1.2T officially recommends using the original Toyota Genuine Oil: 0W-20 full synthetic oil. In addition to the original oil, you can also choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, and Castrol. However, you should use engine oil with the following grades: 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30. The Corolla 1.2 requires approximately 4 liters of oil for an oil change, usually slightly less than 4 liters. Additional information: 1. If SAE 10W-30 or higher viscosity engine oil is used in cold weather, the engine may be difficult to start. Therefore, it is recommended to use SAE 0W-20, 5W-20, or 5W-30 engine oil. 2. The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the cold-start performance of the oil. Using oil with a lower number before the W makes it easier to start the engine in cold weather. The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristics of the oil at high temperatures. High-viscosity oil may be more suitable for vehicles that drive at high speeds or carry heavy loads.

Which days in 2019 are toll-free on highways?

According to the "Implementation Plan for Exempting Small Passenger Vehicles from Toll Fees on Major Holidays", the toll-free periods on highways are applicable during four national statutory holidays: Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as the consecutive holidays determined by the State Council for these statutory holidays.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring on the Verano?

The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring on the Verano is: Switch the small screen on the dashboard to the vehicle information section; Locate the tire pressure information section and select to perform tire pressure learning; Deflate the tires until you hear the horn sound, and the turn signal on the current tire side turns off while the right turn signal lights up. The deflation sequence should be: front left, front right, rear right, rear left; Observe the tire pressure status of each tire on the dashboard to ensure the pressure is within the normal range of 2.3 to 2.5. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. When the tire pressure is too high, the vehicle's rolling resistance is low, and fuel consumption is reduced, but in emergency situations, hard braking may fail to stop the vehicle promptly, or the braking distance may increase; When the tire pressure is too low, the vehicle's comfort improves, providing a quiet and smooth ride, but rolling resistance increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. Additionally, the vehicle is more prone to standing waves and sudden tire blowouts at high speeds.

What are the causes of the HAVAL H6 hill descent control failure?

HAVAL H6 hill descent control failure reasons are as follows: 1. Fault in PT-CAN related wiring or a certain node: Using a fault detection device, it was found that the electronic parking brake control module (EPB) stored one current fault code: "U111281 ESP CAN signal failure." The electronic stability program control module (ESP) also stored one current fault code: "U100104 CAN passive error." The engine control module (ECM) stored two historical fault codes: "U01018 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. 2. Virtual connection in the gateway internal circuit leading to low network voltage: When HDC is set and the vehicle enters a steep slope, engine braking itself can provide a considerable degree of deceleration effect without the risk of tire lockup. When the steep slope gradient is too large and engine braking is insufficient to maintain the speed limit, HDC can use the ABS system to reduce the gradually increasing speed, maintaining a stable and safe speed downhill. If the driver needs to steer to avoid obstacles during the steep descent, the HDC system will detect this and further reduce the speed limit to 6.4 km/h to ensure complete vehicle control.
