Reasons for the car engine's yellow light being on: 1. Dirty throttle body; 2. Poor fuel quality; 3. Faulty oxygen sensor; 4. Clogged catalytic converter; 5. False alarm from the engine. This indicates a fault in some part of the engine, suggesting the need for timely inspection and repair. A professional can use computer diagnostics to clear the fault code. There are several ways the engine warning light can illuminate: steady yellow light, flashing yellow light; red light on, flashing red light. If the red light is on, it indicates a serious problem, and it is recommended to go to a 4S shop immediately for inspection and repair. If the yellow light is on, the fault may not affect driving, but it is still advisable to check as soon as possible. The car can read the fault code through the OBD interface using a computer.

What are the reasons for the car key having power but not being detected?

Here are the reasons why a car key has power but is not detected: Dead battery: The vehicle's battery is dead, causing the sensor to lose power, which prevents the vehicle from detecting the key's signal. Even if the owner uses the mechanical key to open the door, they cannot start the car and will need to call for a tow or jump-start assistance. Key malfunction: The original battery of a smart key can last about two years, but if the smart key is subjected to severe electromagnetic interference, it may malfunction. Therefore, avoid placing the smart key near electronic devices. Most smart keys have internal circuits that are less resistant to impact, making them prone to damage from severe collisions. Additionally, if a smart key gets wet, the internal circuits may burn out, leading to remote control failure. It is also important not to place the smart key under the windshield or in other high-temperature environments exposed to direct sunlight.

Do I Need to Retake the Driving Test If My License Expires?

Whether you need to retake the driving test after your driver's license expires depends on the duration of expiration. Here are the details: 1. Expired for less than one year: The driver can submit their ID card, expired driver's license, and a medical condition certificate issued by a county-level or military hospital to the vehicle management department for renewal without taking any subject tests. 2. Expired for more than one year but less than three years: The driver's license will be in a 'canceled but recoverable' status during this period. This means the license is canceled, but you can renew it by passing the subject one test. 3. Expired for more than three years: The driver's license will be in a 'canceled' status, meaning the driving qualification is revoked and cannot be restored. The driver must retake all subject tests to obtain a new driver's license.

Why is there no response when connecting a USB flash drive to the car's USB port?

There may be no response when connecting a USB flash drive to the car's USB port due to reasons such as a loose or damaged USB flash drive, or a damaged USB port. Here are the details: Loose USB flash drive: Since the USB flash drive is plugged into the car's USB port for long periods during use, the vibration and shaking of the vehicle while driving can easily cause it to become loose. Once loose, the car's USB port may suddenly stop reading the USB flash drive. Damaged USB flash drive: The possibility of a damaged USB flash drive is relatively small, but due to the less-than-ideal environment inside the car (especially during high temperatures in summer), the possibility of damage cannot be ruled out. Damaged USB port: The likelihood of a damaged USB port is believed to be even smaller than that of a damaged USB flash drive. However, when none of the above issues are present, the possibility of a damaged USB port cannot be excluded.
