The flashing oil light in the Mingtu is due to common faults in the low-voltage circuit and high-voltage circuit. Common causes of low-voltage faults: Insufficient battery charge; poor or incorrect wiring connections; poor battery grounding; damaged distributor or Hall sensor; damaged ignition switch or poor wiring connections. Most diagnostic methods for low-voltage circuit faults involve using an ammeter or voltmeter to check each wire sequentially to eliminate the fault point. High-voltage wire detachment or leakage; cracked or punctured distributor cap; burnt or punctured distributor rotor; excessive or insufficient spark plug electrode gap; excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs; damaged spark plug insulator; damaged ignition coil or disconnected wiring. Common causes of high-voltage faults: Most high-voltage circuit faults are diagnosed using the high-voltage spark test method. This involves removing the central high-voltage wire from the distributor or a cylinder's high-voltage wire, placing the wire end 3-6mm away from the engine block, and starting the engine to test for sparks. A strong spark indicates that the ignition system is working normally. Methods to reset the engine fault light: Start and turn off the vehicle three times consecutively; disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it.

Does ETC need to be transferred after the car is transferred?

ETC does not need to be transferred after the vehicle is transferred. There are three ways to handle ETC after vehicle transfer: When the vehicle transfer is completed and the license plate number remains unchanged, you can go to the bank branch where it was originally processed to complete the information change procedures; When the vehicle is transferred and the license plate number is changed: complete the unbinding procedure, and then reapply for ETC for the new vehicle according to regulations; After the vehicle transfer occurs, cancel the ETC. ETC's deduction principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on the highway. Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer network technology is used to conduct background settlement with the bank, achieving the purpose of vehicles not needing to stop at the road and bridge toll station to pay the road and bridge fees. All of this is based on the principle of passing first and deducting fees later. Benefits of installing ETC: Save time: eliminates the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and environmentally friendly: green and low-carbon, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, which can reduce noise and exhaust emissions and reduce pollution; Save wear and tear: save costs, reduce the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, reduce wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on tolls; Improve efficiency: the efficiency of ETC lanes can theoretically be increased by 2-3 times or more, making traditional ETC updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council clearly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key urban agglomerations will be basically realized, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC will be greatly increased," and clearly proposed in the main indicators of comprehensive transportation development during the "13th Five-Year Plan" the goal of "achieving a 50% ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles by 2020." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage and the usage rate of ETC passenger vehicles, the future will also promote the use of ETC for trucks, explore the deep integration of the ETC system with the development directions of smart transportation such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination, and provide car owners with comprehensive travel services. This means that more application scenarios will support ETC applications. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front stopping, in order to prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, a distance of more than 10 meters should be maintained from the vehicle in front to prevent automatic sensing from paying the fee for the vehicle in front. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, and the fee deduction will also fail. Unauthorized disassembly or movement of the OBU device, or the ETC electronic tag falling off or loosening, will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was processed or the highway service office for testing. If the loosening or falling off is not caused by human factors, it only needs to be reactivated. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance will also cause the fee deduction to fail. You can follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and pass by using cash or swiping the card. The windshield of the car is too thick, resulting in poor sensing. Especially for vehicles that have been repaired after an accident and have had their windshield replaced, or friends who have modified the front windshield need to pay attention.

Can You Directly Add 95 Gasoline Before Using Up 98 Gasoline?

It is possible to add 95 gasoline before completely using up 98 gasoline. Occasionally mixing them is fine, but it is not recommended to do so frequently. If the car owner intends to switch gasoline grades, it is best to wait until the fuel gauge light comes on before refilling, or to extract the remaining gasoline and then switch to another grade, rather than mixing them directly. Different grades of gasoline have different octane levels. The higher the grade, the higher the octane level, and the better the anti-knock performance. Knocking is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. When the piston is in the compression stroke, it moves upward to compress the combustible mixture, causing the temperature and pressure of the mixture to rise. If the gasoline's anti-knock performance is poor, the combustible mixture may ignite before the spark plug fires, leading to knocking. The burning mixture pushes the piston downward while the piston is still moving upward, resulting in reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and potential engine damage. The gasoline grade represents its anti-knock performance. The higher the grade, the higher the octane level and the better the anti-knock performance. 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane, while 98 gasoline contains 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. Anti-knock performance refers to the gasoline's ability to resist knocking during combustion in the engine. It is the primary indicator of gasoline's combustion efficiency. Knocking occurs due to abnormal combustion in the engine. The octane level is the measure of gasoline's anti-knock performance; the higher the octane, the stronger the anti-knock capability. Higher compression ratios and combustion chamber pressures require gasoline with better anti-knock performance to prevent knocking. Occasionally using the wrong gasoline grade is not a problem as long as you switch back to the correct grade afterward. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower grades, using a higher grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane level may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher grades, using a lower grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane level lowers the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If the mixture ignites before the spark plug fires, it creates resistance during the upward stroke, making the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.

Comparison Between TPR Wheels and Rubber Wheels

TPR tires are tire products that do not require high wear resistance or strength, whereas rubber tires used in vehicles demand high load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and mechanical strength. Below is additional information: TPR tires: Primarily used for casters, cart wheels, and toy tires, these products do not require high load-bearing capacity or wear resistance. They are typically made of pure TPR material or a composite of TPR with other materials like PP or ABS through injection molding. Rubber tires: Usually vulcanized rubber tires, these are used for various vehicle tires. Due to the high requirements for load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, and mechanical strength in vehicles, the material quality of rubber tires is crucial. Therefore, in addition to vulcanization, materials like steel wires and nylon fabric are incorporated into rubber tire products to enhance impact resistance and anti-burst performance.
