Engine malfunction requiring immediate service indicates that the computer self-diagnosis has detected an engine fault, necessitating instrument-based detection of the engine system to read the fault code. Reasons for the engine fault light activation: 1. Sensor malfunction: Issues with sensors such as the coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft sensor, or oxygen sensor. 2. Spark plug and fuel system faults: Problems with spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or fuel line blockages. Some owners may notice the engine fault light illuminating immediately after refueling - this occurs when substandard fuel from non-compliant gas stations is used. While this condition doesn't affect vehicle operation, it may cause engine damage.

What gear should an automatic car be parked in?

Automatic cars should be parked in P gear. After the car enters the parking position, follow these steps: press the brake pedal, shift to N gear, engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, turn off the engine, then shift to P gear and remove the key. Automatic transmissions have two gears for parking: P gear and N gear. From a transmission structure perspective, both can be used for long-term parking. P gear stands for Park gear - literally meaning it's designed for parking. Its mechanism involves a ratchet and pawl system that locks the transmission components. N gear is Neutral gear - engaging this gear disconnects power output from the transmission, which can also be used for parking, functioning identically to manual transmission's neutral gear.

What Causes Transmission Oil Leakage?

Transmission oil leakage causes: 1. Poor sealing gaskets in various transmission parts, damaged oil seals or loose fastening bolts, cracked transmission housing, excessive gear oil, clogged transmission vent holes, worn oil seals or flanges, excessive axial end clearance, loose bearing seats and bearings, damaged gaskets; 2. Improper lubricant usage, gaps on sealing surfaces, pressure differentials on both sides of seals. Eliminating or reducing any of these factors can prevent or minimize leakage. The transmission mainly refers to a vehicle's gearbox, which comes in manual and automatic types. Manual transmissions primarily consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed/torque variation through different gear combinations; Automatic transmissions (AT) comprise torque converters, planetary gears, hydraulic torque variation systems and hydraulic control systems, achieving speed/torque variation through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.

Why does a new car's brakes make a squeaking sound?

New car brakes making a squeaking sound is due to the friction between the brake pads and discs during the wear-in period. This noise will disappear after some driving as the parts properly seat, which is completely normal. Common causes of brake noise include: 1. Break-in period for new cars - Brake pad bedding is an important process, typically requiring several hundred kilometers before optimal braking performance is achieved; 2. Newly replaced brake pads also need to wear in to properly match with old rotors; 3. Tiny particles may get between pads and rotors during driving, causing noise through friction; 4. Missing or damaged brake rotor mounting screws; 5. Malfunctions in the brake system.
