The ABS warning light may illuminate due to the following reasons: 1. Faulty wheel speed sensor, ABS wiring, ABS pressure control solenoid valve, or ABS computer; 2. Insufficient brake fluid; 3. Dirty ABS sensor. Solutions for the ABS warning light issue include: 1. Replacing the wheel speed sensor, ABS wiring, ABS pressure control solenoid valve, or ABS computer; 2. Topping up the brake fluid; 3. Cleaning the ABS sensor. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which functions to automatically regulate the braking force during vehicle deceleration, preventing wheel lock-up and maintaining a rolling-sliding state to ensure optimal tire-road adhesion.

What is the ignition point of diesel fuel?

Diesel fuel has an ignition point of 220°C. The flash point of diesel is above 55°C. Diesel is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon atoms numbering approximately 10-22). It serves as fuel for diesel engines. Diesel is primarily produced by blending diesel fractions obtained through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. It can also be produced from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. Classification of engines: Based on the power source, automotive engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems, among others. Principle of engines: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion to deliver power output. Gasoline engines feature high rotational speed, light weight, low noise, easy starting, and low manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio, superior thermal efficiency, and better economic performance and emission characteristics compared to gasoline engines.

How to Place Temporary License Plates on a Car?

Temporary license plates are paper-based motor vehicle plates issued by public security vehicle management departments, permitting temporary road use before official vehicle registration. There are two temporary plates for a car: one should be affixed to the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle where it does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. The use of temporary license plates is subject to time and regional limitations. You can apply for temporary plates at the local vehicle management office under any of the following conditions: 1. When driving the vehicle from the place of purchase to another location, you must apply for temporary plates at the vehicle management office where the purchase was made. 2. If the vehicle is being transferred and the official plates have been surrendered, you need to apply for temporary plates at the local vehicle management office to drive back to your home location. 3. If a new car without official plates in the local area needs to be driven to another location for modifications, you must apply for temporary plates locally. After modifications are completed, apply for temporary plates at the modification location to drive back to the original area.

What are the dimensions of a truck?

For single-axle trucks, the cargo compartment length generally does not exceed 6.5 meters, while for double-axle trucks, it typically does not exceed 8.6 meters. The same applies to small three-axle trucks. For trucks with a 4x2 configuration (front four wheels, rear two axles), the cargo compartment length is usually fixed at 9.5 meters, except for special models. Generally, the larger the tonnage capacity, the longer the cargo compartment. Truck Introduction: Trucks, also known as lorries, are motor vehicles specifically designed for transporting goods. Trucks can be categorized into 8 types based on structure: Standard trucks, box trucks, enclosed trucks, tanker trucks, flatbed trucks, container trucks, dump trucks, and special-structure trucks. Trucks can be classified into four categories by payload capacity: Heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, light-duty trucks, and mini trucks. Medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are collectively referred to as large trucks, which must have an overall length ≥6 meters and a gross vehicle weight exceeding 4.5 tons.

What to Do When the Rear Wheel Brakes Lock Up?

Force-start the vehicle and rev the engine aggressively until the rear wheels begin to rotate; alternatively, remove the tire and gently tap the brake drum with a hammer or similar tool to loosen the brake drum and brake pads. Below is relevant information about brake lock-up: 1. Causes: Brake lock-up typically occurs after rain or car washing when the vehicle is parked for an extended period (usually around a day). Rust can form between the inner surface of the rear brake drum and the brake pads, causing them to seize. 2. Prevention Methods: To prevent brake lock-up, after water enters the brake drum, avoid parking immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes frequently to allow the moisture to evaporate. Alternatively, when parking, do not engage the handbrake. For manual transmission vehicles, leave the car in 1st gear, and for automatic transmission vehicles, leave it in P (Park) gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling. This way, the brake drum and brake pads will not be in contact, preventing rust-induced seizure.

What Causes Shock Absorber Oil Leakage in Cars?

Shock absorber oil leakage is directly related to road conditions. The main causes of shock absorber oil leakage include the following aspects: 1. Poor internal cleanliness of the shock absorber, with welding slag, iron filings, and other debris causing oil seal wear; 2. Harsh working conditions of the shock absorber, allowing external debris like mud and sand to enter the oil seal, leading to wear and oil leakage; 3. Aging of the sealing lip of the shock absorber oil seal, resulting in loss of sealing function; 4. Some car owners fail to properly cover the shock absorber when applying undercoating, causing the coating to adhere to the shock absorber piston rod and wear the oil seal, leading to leakage; 5. The support rod that controls piston movement needs to extend from one end of the metal tube, and this area requires strict sealing. Generally, oil leakage is directly related to improper sealing here. Hydraulic shock absorber oil leakage indicates that its service life is not long.

What to Do When the Car Cannot Start on a Slope in First Gear Due to Lack of Power?

The reason why the car cannot start on a slope in first gear due to lack of power is insufficient torque and power of the vehicle. Possible reasons: When operating the vehicle, insufficient torque and power during starting or climbing a slope may cause the vehicle to fail to climb the slope. This could also be due to inherent engine issues, specifically improper tuning between the engine and transmission. Detailed solutions: First, when using the vehicle, try to find roads or slopes that are not too steep. In this regard, driving in an S-shaped path can help alleviate the difficulty of climbing slopes. Additionally, certain assistance functions can be activated. For the vehicle, when it cannot climb a slope in first gear, there is no need to worry, as this is generally an issue with the vehicle's own faults. The problem can be resolved by addressing the vehicle's faults appropriately.
