TC stands for Traction Control system. If the TC light remains illuminated, it indicates that the Traction Control system has been deactivated. In this case, simply reactivating the Traction Control system will resolve the issue. The function of the vehicle's Traction Control system: In slippery or wet conditions, starting and accelerating the vehicle may lead to loss of control. If equipped with a Traction Control system, this situation can be prevented; When the vehicle shows signs of slipping, sensors send signals to the ECU, which processes these signals to prevent the wheels from slipping; When used in conjunction with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), the Traction Control system further enhances the vehicle's safety performance. The working principle of the Traction Control system: The Traction Control system is controlled by a computer that monitors the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. During acceleration, if the computer detects a significant speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is excessive and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing wheel slip.

What is the method for identifying car dashboard warning lights?

Car dashboard warning lights may illuminate due to parking sensor failure, excessively worn brake pads, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, insufficient brake fluid, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, etc. The identification methods are as follows: A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a general fault warning light, which may illuminate under the following circumstances: Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch. Fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction. Parking sensor failure. External light malfunction. Engine oil pressure sensor failure. Traction control system warning or failure. A circle with an exclamation mark in the middle and parentheses around it indicates a brake system warning light, which may illuminate under the following conditions: In some vehicles, it lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on and turns off after the engine starts. It lights up when the handbrake is engaged and turns off when released. It lights up during driving if the brake fluid level is too low. It lights up when there is a brake system malfunction.

What are the types of car floor mats?

Car floor mats include full-coverage mats, carpet mats, and rubber mats. Full-coverage mats, when placed in the car, can completely enclose the space under the feet, preventing dust or water stains from spreading everywhere in the car. Full-coverage mats are also called 3D mats, as they have a concave shape. Carpet mats have strong dirt absorption but are troublesome to clean. As the name suggests, carpet mats have a looped structure that effectively traps dust and dirt inside, making them excellent at absorbing dirt. However, if not cleaned frequently, they can easily breed bacteria. Additionally, carpet mats have a smaller coverage area compared to full-coverage mats. Rubber mats were once favored by many consumers due to their advantages such as being dirt-resistant, easy to clean, and inexpensive. However, during use, it was found that rubber mats are slippery and less safe. Moreover, inferior mats produced by low-quality manufacturers can emit harmful odors, significantly reducing their popularity.

How to Avoid Crossing the Line in Subject 2?

For navigating S-curves, there is a mnemonic technique: "Left point aligns with the right line, right point aligns with the left line." The left and right points refer to the top corners of the car's front. This means when turning in a particular direction, use the corresponding top corner to follow the opposite side's road edge line. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: Definition: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment, specifically referring to the field driving skills test. Objective: Master the basic driving operation essentials and possess fundamental vehicle control abilities; proficiently grasp the basic methods of field and road driving within the test area, capable of reasonably using vehicle controls and correctly managing the vehicle's spatial position, ensuring accurate control over the vehicle's position, speed, and route.

What to Do If You Fail the Driver's License Medical Examination?

You can definitely go for the medical examination first. If you indeed fail, you should go to the hospital to determine whether color weakness affects driving. During the registration medical examination, there are two sets of color tests: one is a complex pattern combination, and the other consists of independent red, green, and yellow dots. If that still doesn't work, go to the hospital to get a certificate, then take this certificate to the driver's license medical examination center, and there should be no problem. After submitting the medical report to the DMV, you can normally register and schedule the exam.

Can I replace just one shock absorber on a sedan?

You can replace just one shock absorber on a sedan, but the effect won't be as good as replacing both. Below is an introduction to the replacement method and function of vehicle shock absorbers: Shock absorber replacement method: Loosen the wheel nuts in a diagonal sequence, remove the wheel, detach the control arm fixing bolts, loosen the fixing nut of the spring support arm, open the engine hood, loosen the upper fixing nut of the shock absorber, remove the shock absorber, replace the damaged components and rubber boot of the shock absorber, apply lubricating grease to improve wear resistance, install the shock absorber, and use a wrench to tighten the wheel fixing nuts. Function of shock absorbers: To suppress the oscillation when the spring rebounds after absorbing shock and to absorb the energy from road impacts.
