Water accumulation in the spare tire compartment of the trunk may be caused by previous vehicle accidents, cracked or aged trunk seals, or replacement of taillights. The details are as follows: Previous Vehicle Accidents: If the rear of the vehicle has been involved in a rear-end collision, minor misalignments may occur during repairs, leading to poor sealing of the trunk. This can result in water leakage during rainy weather. Cracked or Aged Trunk Seals: Vehicle seals and gaskets are crucial components for waterproofing and dustproofing. If they become cracked or aged, they can easily cause water leakage inside the vehicle or allow water ingress during water crossings due to poor sealing. Replacement of Taillights: If the vehicle's taillights have been replaced, gaps may form. Additionally, substandard wiring during the installation of reverse sensors can allow rainwater to enter the trunk along the wiring.

How is the toll collected when entering the highway with a toll and exiting for free?

How tolls are collected when entering the highway with a toll and exiting for free: During the highway toll-free period, toll stations will replace the regular toll cards with paper cards one day in advance. If the highway is free when exiting, there is no need to return the paper card to the toll station. Nowadays, many highways also implement a system where they directly lift the barrier without issuing any cards. If you receive a hard card when entering the highway, you still need to return it to the toll station; otherwise, you will be charged based on the longest possible distance on the highway. If you enter the highway during the toll period and exit during the free period, no toll will be charged. However, if you enter during the free period and exit during the toll period, you will be charged based on the time of exiting the highway.

How to Detect Oxygen Sensor Signals?

Methods for detecting oxygen sensor signals include: 1. Multimeter Voltage Measurement Method: Maintain the engine speed at around 2500 rpm for about 90 seconds, then use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the oxygen sensor signal output terminal; 2. Oxygen Sensor Tester Method: Determine whether the oxygen sensor is in normal working condition by observing the flashing and extinguishing of the indicator light on the oxygen sensor tester; 3. Multimeter Resistance Measurement Method: Utilize the resistance characteristics of the oxygen sensor to measure its resistance values in both warmed-up and non-warmed-up states to determine if it is damaged. The oxygen sensor is a critical feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system, playing a key role in controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution caused by vehicles, and improving the fuel combustion quality of the car engine.
