Buick Excelle dashboard displaying code 128 indicates that the engine hood is not closed, possibly because it is not securely latched. The brightness adjustment switch for the Buick Excelle dashboard lights is located on the left side of the steering wheel and can be adjusted by turning the knob. For dashboard information adjustment, you can use the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to modify the vehicle's dashboard information. Below is relevant information about dashboard lights: Indicator lights: The most common lights you see while driving, such as turn signals, parking lights, etc., which indicate the status of various vehicle functions. Warning lights: These have an alert function, such as the fuel indicator light, door status indicator, seat belt indicator, etc. Generally, warning lights turn off after the driver performs the corresponding action, like the seat belt indicator, which turns off once the seat belt is fastened. Malfunction indicator lights: These are the most critical indicator lights, such as the generator malfunction indicator, transmission malfunction indicator, etc. These malfunction indicators rarely light up under normal circumstances or may briefly illuminate when starting the engine and then turn off. If a malfunction indicator stays lit and is accompanied by a warning sound, it indicates that the vehicle has a fault or abnormality.

What are the differences between the Pajero and the Pajero Sport?

Positioning, platform, and powertrain are all different. The specific details are as follows: 1. The Pajero Sport features a body-on-frame structure, based on the Mitsubishi pickup truck platform, equipped with the first-generation Super Select 4WD system. It comes with 2.4L/3.0L engine options, and the 3.0L version delivers good power but requires 97-octane gasoline. It is a more traditional hardcore off-roader. 2. The Pajero has a unique body structure—a unibody with a subframe—designed to maintain off-road capability while achieving higher speed and better on-road stability. It uses the second-generation Super Select 4WD system. Although its 3.0L engine's power output is not as strong as the Sport's, it can run on 93 or even 90-octane gasoline, which is crucial for long-distance overlanding. Therefore, the Pajero is faster and more advanced, while the Pajero Sport offers better value for money.

What is Wheel Lock-up?

Car wheel lock-up may occur due to parking with the handbrake engaged during car washing, causing water ingress that leads to the brake pads sticking to the brake drum. Releasing the handbrake and using a spare tire or kicking the tire sidewall a few times can resolve the issue. More detailed information is as follows: 1. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was developed to prevent incorrect braking behaviors (including emergency braking). Through tire sensors, it sends signals based on each wheel's angle and rapidly calculates: vehicle speed, wheel deceleration, and wheel slip probability. 2. After obtaining these three data points, the ABS autonomously determines whether a wheel is approaching lock-up. It then takes action in a straightforward manner—directly intervening in braking without human input, automatically releasing brake pressure to allow the nearly locked wheel to resume normal operation. This process involves alternating between applying and releasing brake pressure repeatedly. 3. Wheel lock-up or sudden braking to a complete stop causes the vehicle to lose steering capability. This typically occurs in vehicles not equipped with ABS. In non-ABS vehicles, forcefully pressing the brake pedal while driving rapidly reduces wheel speed. When braking force exceeds the friction between the tires and the road, the wheels lock up. Fully locked wheels increase tire-road friction, potentially causing skidding and loss of directional control under high inertia. If the front wheels lock, the driver cannot steer the vehicle; if the rear wheels lock, skidding is more likely to occur.

Can the turn signals of the Tiida be adjusted?

The turn signals of the Tiida cannot be adjusted. Turn signals are important indicator lights that are turned on when a motor vehicle is turning to alert vehicles and pedestrians in front, behind, and to the sides. The turn signal bulbs use xenon tubes, controlled by a single-chip microcomputer circuit, and operate continuously with alternating left and right flashing. Turn signals use flashers to achieve light blinking. They can be mainly divided into three types: resistance wire type, capacitor type, and electronic type. Below is the classification of automotive lights: 1. Headlights: Combined headlights are located at the front of the car and primarily serve the functions of illumination and signaling. The light emitted by headlights illuminates the road ahead, allowing the driver to drive safely at night; 2. Combined taillights: Combined taillights are located at the rear of the car and mainly serve the functions of illumination and signaling; 3. Turn signals: Lights used to indicate left or right turns to other road users. Regulations require them to be amber; 4. License plate lights: License plate lights mainly illuminate the license plate, enabling people to identify the vehicle's license plate at night.

Why does the fan keep running after the car is turned off?

Vehicle fan keeps running after the engine is turned off because the engine temperature remains too high after parking. The onboard computer automatically calculates the fan speed and duration - the higher the engine temperature, the longer the fan will run to protect the engine. If the fan continues running after the engine temperature has dropped, it might be caused by a poor electrical connection. You can try unplugging the fan wiring harness to cut power separately. The function of the car fan is to increase air flow through the radiator core, enhance cooling efficiency, and accelerate water cooling. Automotive engine fans are classified into axial-flow fans and centrifugal fans by structure principle, and divided into mechanically driven and electrically driven types by driving method.
