Lexus TRC being turned off means: the traction control system is malfunctioning and deactivated. The mechanical structure of the TRC (Active Traction Control) system prevents wheel spin of the drive wheels when driving on slippery surfaces like snow, enabling smooth vehicle starting and acceleration, supporting the fundamental driving functions. The traction control system ensures optimal traction under various driving conditions. After the TRC system is turned off, you can restart the vehicle to automatically reactivate TRC, or press the TRC button on the steering wheel to manually activate the system. However, the location of the TRC button may vary across different vehicle models. The TRC system is enabled by default. If it's turned off and cannot be reactivated, try restarting the vehicle. If TRC still doesn't activate after restarting, you'll need to visit a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop, where technicians can use a code reader to diagnose the issue. Only by identifying the specific problem can appropriate repairs be made. Driving with TRC turned off is possible, but the engine won't reduce power output when wheel slip occurs, leading to drive wheel spin on slippery surfaces. As an auxiliary driving system, TRC contributes to driving stability, so it's generally advisable not to deactivate it during normal driving. However, if the vehicle gets stuck in mud, sludge, or snow, the owner can manually turn off TRC to increase power delivery to the wheels and help extricate the vehicle from difficult situations.

What to Do If You're Afraid to Drive After Getting a License?

Here are some solutions for those who are afraid to drive after getting a license: 1. Familiarize yourself with the operations: New drivers face three unfamiliar aspects: the car, the road, and traffic rules. To get familiar with the car, find a quiet road and practice with an experienced driver. Learn how much force to apply when turning the steering wheel and the angle of the vehicle's turn. Besides steering, practice braking—how much force to apply and the stopping distance, as well as how to reduce jerks when stopping. Also, practice applying the right amount of pressure on the accelerator. 2. Get to know the road: Driving isn't just about getting the car on the road. Road conditions change rapidly, such as following other cars, overtaking, stopping at red lights, turning, making U-turns, etc. These are common situations on the road. The best solution is to have an experienced driver guide you from the passenger seat. 3. Pay attention to road signs in daily life. The more you drive, the more naturally you'll understand.

Does Alcohol Damage Car Paint?

Using alcohol to clean a car does have some impact on the paint. It's important to understand that alcohol is a solvent and can dissolve paint. The paint on a car's body is not significantly different from regular paint, so using alcohol to wipe down the car can cause some damage to the paint surface. Although alcohol is highly volatile, over time, areas wiped with alcohol will show a difference in gloss compared to other parts of the car. Additional information about car paint is as follows: 1. Introduction to Car Paint: Simply put, car paint involves applying a protective film over the paint surface, creating an invisible physical shield that helps protect the paint. The main component of car paint is resin, which has relatively large molecular gaps. After coating, small molecular elements such as silicon, silicon dioxide, and nano-inorganic silicon in the coating solution can fully penetrate into the gaps and micropores of the paint molecules, forming a transparent crystalline layer similar to a smartphone screen protector on the surface. 2. Protective Effects: This significantly enhances the hardness and scratch resistance of the car paint surface, providing long-term sealing protection and keeping the paint looking bright and new for a long time.

How to Determine if the Fuel Tank Vent is Clogged?

If the vent is clogged, the pressure above the fuel tank will decrease, which is not conducive to the downward flow of gasoline to the carburetor. Hazards of a clogged fuel tank vent: Fuel tank collapse: With the continuous increase in the number of heavy-duty trucks, their safety performance has attracted more attention. During transportation, as diesel consumption lowers the fuel level, a certain vacuum forms inside the fuel tank. If the vent is clogged, the fuel tank may develop negative pressure due to the dropping fuel level, leading to inward deformation, commonly known as "fuel tank collapse." "Fuel tank collapse" not only causes deformation of the tank but may also prevent the fuel pump from extracting fuel, resulting in sudden engine stalling, insufficient power, and difficulty starting in a hot engine state. In severe cases, the tank may even rupture due to excessive deformation, leading to fuel leakage or even fire and explosion.

What does the automotive OBD system mean?

OBD, as an abbreviation for a proprietary term, stands for On-Board Diagnostics, which in Chinese means: On-Board Automatic Diagnostic System. The specific details are as follows: 1. Real-time monitoring: This system can monitor the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle in real-time during operation. If any abnormal conditions are detected, it determines the specific fault according to specific algorithms and stores it in the system's memory in the form of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). 2. Reducing manual diagnosis time: The useful information obtained from the system's self-diagnosis can assist in vehicle maintenance and repair. Technicians can use the vehicle's original specialized equipment to read the fault codes, thereby quickly locating the fault for vehicle repair, reducing the time required for manual diagnosis.
