Transmission control module (TCM) failure means there is an issue with the valve body, which can usually be resolved by cleaning the filter screen. Below is additional information: 1. Function: Transmission fluid is an oil product that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring the normal operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Application in market automatic transmissions: Most transmission fluids on the market can be used in automatic transmissions. However, each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles may vary in torque, weight, speed, and structure. Therefore, manufacturers specify their own dedicated transmission fluids. Different transmission fluids are one of the factors affecting shift quality.

Why doesn't the fuel pump make noise when the key is turned on?

The fuel pump is damaged. When the fuel pump fails to start and cannot establish oil pressure, the crankshaft sensor forcibly activates the pump during secondary ignition. Below is relevant information about fuel pumps: 1. Diaphragm-type fuel pump: The diaphragm-type fuel pump is a representative of mechanical fuel pumps, used in carburetor engines. It is generally driven by an eccentric wheel on the camshaft. The diaphragm-type fuel pump is characterized by its simple structure, but due to the influence of engine heat, special attention must be paid to ensuring its fuel delivery performance at high temperatures, as well as the durability of the rubber diaphragm against heat and fuel. 2. Electric fuel pump: Instead of being driven by the camshaft, it relies on electromagnetic force to repeatedly actuate the pump diaphragm. This type of electric pump allows for flexible installation positions and can prevent vapor lock. The main installation types of electric fuel pumps used in fuel-injected engines include being mounted in the fuel supply line or inside the fuel tank.

Is AMT an Automated Manual Transmission?

AMT refers to the Automated Manual Transmission, with its full name being Automated Mechanical Transmission. There are four common types of automotive automatic transmissions: Hydraulic Automatic Transmission (referred to as AT), Continuously Variable Transmission (referred to as CVT), Automated Mechanical Transmission (referred to as AMT), and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). The following provides an introduction to the AMT transmission: 1. The Automated Mechanical Transmission (AMT) can determine the optimal gear based on parameters such as vehicle speed, throttle position, and driver commands. It automates the control of operations traditionally performed manually by the driver, including clutch engagement and disengagement, gear shifting via the gear lever, and synchronized adjustment of the engine throttle opening, ultimately achieving automated shifting. 2. The AMT retains the fundamental structure of the original mechanical transmission, offering advantages such as high transmission efficiency, compact design, low cost, ease of manufacturing, reliable operation, and convenient handling. Particularly, its fuel-saving characteristic makes it suitable for application in China's large and medium-sized buses and trucks.

How many seats does the Honda Haoying have?

Honda Haoying has 5 seats, which is an SUV model under GAC Honda. In terms of body dimensions, the Honda Haoying measures 4634mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1679mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2661mm. The overall design of the Haoying follows the radical style of the GAC Honda family, featuring thick chrome accents paired with sharp headlights equipped with dazzling black inner lenses, highlighting its youthful personality. In terms of appearance, the Honda Haoying adopts a front-end design language similar to the 10th-generation Accord, with a thick chrome trim strip running across the top of the grille and connecting with the headlights on both sides. The grille uses a horizontal multi-slat design, creating a strong sense of layering, while the front bumper design enhances the aggressiveness of the front-end styling, resulting in a highly aesthetic overall front-end design.

What Causes Difficulty Inflating a Newly Replaced Tire with Large Gaps?

Here are the reasons why a newly replaced tire with large gaps may be difficult to inflate: 1. The air inlet hole of the valve core is blocked: Unscrew the pressure nut, remove the valve core, detach the valve rubber tube, and use a thin wire or needle tip to clear out any dirt or debris. 2. The valve rubber tube is melted and blocking the valve core hole: After removing the valve core, clean it with gasoline or similar solvent, then use a thin wire to clear the passage. Once confirmed to be clear, replace it with a new rubber tube. 3. The air passage is blocked: Extremely cold weather may cause moisture in the valve rubber tube to freeze into ice, blocking the air passage. Remove and use heat to melt the ice, then shake off any water droplets. 4. Issue with the air pump: Check the air pump or try using a different one.

How to Adjust a Misaligned Car Steering Wheel?

To adjust a misaligned car steering wheel, follow these steps: Turn the steering wheel fully to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. Then, use a wrench to loosen the fixing nut and rotate the left tie rod clockwise. After adjusting the left front wheel, proceed to adjust the right front wheel in the opposite direction. The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, ships, and airplanes. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. It mainly consists of a skeleton, foam, and corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). Using a larger diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft, serving as a connector between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitates the standardization of steering gears, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensures more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle.
