Throttle pedal signal 1 and 2 voltage inconsistency may be caused by electronic throttle sensor failure. The electronic throttle pedal contains two ICs, serving as primary/secondary pedal sensors. The factory-provided reference voltage values can be used as benchmarks - the primary IC should measure approximately 800mV when idle and around 4900mV at full depression. Significant deviation from these reference values (either too high or too low) indicates potential electronic throttle pedal malfunction. Electronic throttle working principle: The electronic throttle transmits pedal position and movement signals through position sensors. These signals are received and interpreted by the ECU, which then issues control commands to adjust the throttle valve opening angle accordingly. Symptoms of electronic throttle pedal failure: Damaged electronic throttle pedals will trigger warning lights on the dashboard, cause pedal stiffness and abnormal noises during operation, and may fail to return to position after depression. Additionally, faulty throttle pedal sensors prevent the ECU from detecting pedal input, leading to unstable idling, throttle sticking, unresponsive acceleration, and ultimately rendering the vehicle inoperable.

Why does Audi indicate that the auto start-stop is unavailable?

Start-stop system failure is not necessarily a fault of the auto start-stop system itself; it could be due to issues with the braking system or air conditioning system, among others. A specific repair plan can only be provided after a comprehensive analysis using a diagnostic tool to read fault codes and data streams in conjunction with the fault symptoms. Generally, faults in the auto start-stop system do not affect the normal driving of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to relevant information: 1. The function of the auto start-stop device is typically controlled by the engine management system. This device can be installed in both manual and automatic transmissions. During the engine shutdown process, when the vehicle encounters congestion or a red light, the driver presses the brake until the vehicle stops and keeps the brake pressed without releasing it. 2. In addition to operating the clutch, shifting gears, and braking according to conditions, the driver must also meet several other requirements, such as the engine speed being below 1200r/min, coolant temperature between 25°C and 100°C, brake vacuum above 550mbar, battery temperature greater than or equal to -1°C but less than 55°C, and the difference between the set air conditioning temperature and the actual air outlet temperature being below 8°C.

What series is the Crown car?

Crown is a mid-to-large size car brand under the Toyota Group. It is a Japanese car. Crown engine performance: The domestic Crown engines come in three types: 2.5L, 3.0L, and 4.3L. The first two are both V6-cylinder 24-valve designs, while the 4.3L engine is a V8. They are equipped with the Dual VVT-i system (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent), which significantly improves the engine's intake efficiency, fuel economy, and power performance, delivering stronger horsepower. In terms of the chassis, it features a four-wheel independent suspension system, providing excellent comfort. Crown body advantages: In terms of active safety, the new Crown adopts advanced braking technology and various excellent driving assistance equipment, including the TRC traction control system, VSC vehicle stability control system, and VDIM vehicle dynamics integrated management system. These ensure optimal traction under various road conditions, achieving outstanding handling effectiveness.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Turning the Steering Wheel in Place?

Reasons for abnormal noise when turning the steering wheel in place: It might be the sound of the horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. It is recommended to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. If the noise is a slight friction sound between the tires and the ground, it is normal. However, any unusual noise is not normal. Below are specific explanations regarding the causes of abnormal noise: 1. The noise when turning the steering wheel in place is likely the sound of the horn wire transmission spring steel plate rubbing against the steering wheel. Usually, the noise comes from inside the car and is a rustling metal friction sound. The solution is to apply some lubricating oil at the friction point between the spring steel plate and the steering wheel. 2. If the noise occurs while driving, it usually comes from the front suspension outside the car. If it is a sharp squeaking sound, it might be due to excessive or insufficient front wheel toe-in, causing tire friction when turning the wheels non-parallel. If the sound is a 'clicking' noise, it indicates excessive wear of the car's half-shaft CV joint, suggesting it needs replacement. Typically, noise when turning left indicates damage to the right-side CV joint.

Is 5W-30 Fully Synthetic?

5W-30 is not necessarily fully synthetic; it depends on whether the oil container is labeled as fully synthetic. 1. The oil model number only indicates the viscosity and low-temperature flow performance of the oil, not whether it is fully synthetic. 2. There are three types of engine oil: mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and fully synthetic oil. Below are the relevant introductions to these three types of oil: 1. The base oil of mineral engine oil is refined from petroleum. The molecular size and shape of this type of engine oil are mostly irregular, so its lubricating performance is generally average, and its service life is relatively short. 2. The base oil of fully synthetic engine oil is artificially synthesized. The molecular size and shape of this type of engine oil are almost uniform, so its lubricating performance is quite good, and its service life is relatively long. 3. The lubricating performance and service life of semi-synthetic engine oil fall between those of fully synthetic engine oil and mineral engine oil. 4. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Additives can enhance the performance of the engine oil. Common engine oil additives include antioxidants, dispersants, etc.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 730 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Baojun 730 is 52 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Baojun 730 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Baojun 730 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.8 to 7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 684 to 765 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount added may exceed the marked capacity.

Is a Used Kia Carens Worth Buying?

Used Kia Carens is also worth purchasing. Kia Carens Powertrain: In terms of power and handling, the Kia Carens is equipped with a 2.0L engine, delivering a maximum power of 152 horsepower and a peak torque of 194 Nm. The steering wheel offers a refined feel with adjustable steering effort, though the force feedback is somewhat excessive. The Sport mode is not particularly user-friendly. The throttle response is brisk, maintaining good acceleration consistency throughout, with no noticeable power drop-off in the mid-to-high speed range. The brake pedal feels slightly heavy, which can be tiring in congested traffic. Advantages of the Kia Carens: As a newer MPV model, it remains relatively niche—a decent imported vehicle that hasn't gained strong sales traction in China. One reason is the lagging domestic demand for MPVs, as consumers prefer SUVs, even opting for cramped 7-seat SUVs over MPVs, possibly because non-premium MPVs lack perceived prestige. Another factor is the Kia Carens' slightly higher manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), which weakens its competitiveness compared to rivals.
