The ABS light appearing on the car dashboard indicates a fault in the ABS system, reminding the driver to drive carefully and have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible. Common causes of the fault include: damaged or dirty wheel speed sensors (clean or replace the sensors); damaged or dirty signal rings (clean or replace the bearings); damaged ABS control unit (replace the control unit); loose or broken ABS wiring (repair or replace the wiring harness). The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) automatically controls the braking force during car braking to prevent the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum traction between the wheels and the road.

How Often Should Motorcycles Undergo Annual Inspection?

Motorcycles require inspection every 2 years within the first 4 years of purchase; after reaching or exceeding 4 years, they must be inspected annually. Below is relevant information about annual inspections: 1. National regulations: Motor vehicles must periodically pass emissions testing, as well as inspections of the vehicle's exterior, lights, brakes, chassis, etc. A valid inspection sticker is issued only if there are no traffic violation records. All annual inspection dates are based on the registration date listed on the vehicle's license. From the date of registration, motor vehicles must undergo safety technical inspections according to the following intervals, commonly referred to as 'annual inspection' or 'annual review'. 2. Regular inspections: Small and micro non-commercial passenger vehicles require inspection every 2 years within the first 6 years, annually after exceeding 6 years, and every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years and every 6 months thereafter. Trucks and large or medium non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspection within the first 10 years and every 6 months thereafter. Imported vehicles, like other vehicle types, can undergo regular inspections at any testing facility.

Are Commercial Vehicles Automatic or Manual Transmission?

Commercial vehicles can be divided into automatic and manual transmissions. Manual transmission requirements: Manual transmission relies more on manual operation. During driving school training, manual transmission vehicles are often chosen as they better test the driver's skills. Once proficient, drivers can derive more enjoyment from manual transmission commercial vehicles, experiencing the thrill of driving. In case of a dead battery, manual transmission vehicles can be pushed manually, and their batteries tend to have a longer lifespan, reducing the frequency of battery replacements. Manual transmission commercial vehicles have lower maintenance costs, helping owners save expenses. When driving, braking can impose a significant burden, but downshifting before braking can effectively reduce this burden. The downside of manual transmission is its tendency to stall and the increased difficulty in reversing, which demands higher driving skills from the operator. Automatic transmission requirements: Automatic transmission commercial vehicles have become the mainstream trend today, offering several undeniable advantages. With worsening traffic conditions, automatic transmission vehicles eliminate the worry of stalling in traffic jams. They lower the difficulty of driving, enabling a broader range of people to operate their vehicles on the road. The main drawbacks of automatic transmission commercial vehicles lie in the costs involved, notably the expensive transmission replacement and the need to call for a tow truck when the vehicle runs out of fuel.
