What Causes the Malfunction Light to Illuminate After a Vehicle Inspection?
1 Answers
During the inspection, the vehicle undergoes tests such as exhaust emissions and braking performance, where inspectors may forcefully apply the brakes or pull the handbrake sharply. This can easily trigger the malfunction light to alert the owner. Additionally, during the exhaust emission test, the drive wheels need to operate on rollers, which can easily activate the vehicle's anti-skid system. Therefore, the lights that typically illuminate after an inspection are the ESP and ABS malfunction indicators. Here is some additional information: 1. Initial Inspection: The inspection conducted to apply for a vehicle license plate is referred to as the initial inspection. Its purpose is to verify whether the vehicle meets the conditions for obtaining a license plate. 2. Definition: National regulations stipulate that vehicles must periodically pass tests including exhaust emissions, exterior appearance, lights, brakes, and chassis, and must have no traffic violation records to receive an inspection compliance sticker. All inspection dates are based on the registration date listed on the vehicle's license, and safety technical inspections must be conducted within the specified periods from the date of registration, commonly referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review."
