What is the reason for the EPC light on and lack of power in a Jianghuai diesel vehicle?

Jianghuai diesel vehicle EPC light on and lack of power reasons: 1. Fuel system: Insufficient fuel entering the combustion chamber, which may be caused by clogged fuel injectors, fuel pipe leaks, reduced fuel pump power, or a blocked fuel filter. 2. Engine issue: Sudden fuel starvation to the engine. When the fuel filter is blocked, the vehicle may experience fuel starvation when tilted. 3. Clogged fuel injectors: If the fuel injectors are clogged or the fuel pump fails to provide high-pressure fuel injection, effective fuel atomization cannot be achieved, leading to reduced combustion efficiency and failure to meet expected performance.

What Needs to Be Replaced During the First Car Maintenance?

What needs to be replaced during the first car maintenance includes: 1. Under normal driving conditions, conventional mineral oil should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers on average, semi-synthetic oil every 7,000 kilometers, and full-synthetic oil every 10,000 kilometers; 2. The oil filter, also known as the oil grid, is used to remove impurities such as dust, metal particles, carbon deposits, and soot particles from the oil to protect the engine. Both passenger cars and commercial vehicles should replace it every six months; 3. The air filter should be replaced every 15,000 kilometers. For vehicles frequently operating in harsh environments (such as deserts, construction sites, etc.), it should be replaced no more than every 10,000 kilometers. The service life of an air filter is 30,000 kilometers for passenger cars and 80,000 kilometers for commercial vehicles.

How to Force Start a Car Starter?

Use the emergency method of short-circuiting the terminal posts for starting. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Working Principle: Its working principle is based on Ampere's Law, which involves the conversion of energy—specifically, the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The motor includes essential components such as the armature, commutator, magnetic poles, brushes, bearings, and housing. 2. System Composition: The starting system converts the electrical energy stored in the battery into mechanical energy. To achieve this conversion, a starter motor is required. The function of the car starter is to generate power through a DC motor, which then drives the engine crankshaft via the transmission mechanism, thereby starting the engine. The starting system includes the following components: battery, ignition switch (starting switch), starter assembly, and starting relay.

What does TCS mean for a car?

TCS in a car stands for Traction Control System, which is a newly developed system based on ABS. While ABS controls all four wheels, TCS only controls the drive wheels, and its braking principle is similar to that of the ASR system. When a car accelerates, TCS limits wheel slip within a certain range, thereby preventing the drive wheels from spinning excessively. The functions of TCS in a car are twofold: first, to enhance traction, and second, to maintain driving stability. When driving on slippery surfaces, a car without TCS is prone to wheel spin during acceleration. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles may experience fishtailing, while front-wheel-drive vehicles may lose directional control, causing the car to veer to one side.
