The TPMS light is a tire pressure fault warning light, indicating that the pressure in one of the tires may be too low. Here is a related introduction to common faults in vehicle operation: Abnormal tire wear: Uneven wear on one side or a specific area of the tire surface. Possible causes include insufficient or excessive tire pressure, excessive or insufficient toe-in or camber angle, unbalanced wheels, prolonged lack of tire rotation, loose wheel hub bearings, excessive wear of steering column pins or ball joints, improper driving habits, etc. Noise from the front and rear axles or suspension. Possible causes include excessive wear or damage to moving parts of the front and rear axles or suspension, excessive bearing clearance or bearing damage, loose fastening bolts, lack of oil or damage to shock absorbers. Vehicle pulling to one side: The vehicle deviates from the direction controlled by the steering wheel while driving. Possible causes include deformation of connecting parts of the front and rear suspension or frame deformation, changes in the connection positions of the front and rear axles and suspension, misalignment of front wheel positioning, significant differences in tire pressure or wear between the two sides, etc.

Why Do Diesel Vehicles Consume More Fuel Than Before?

Reasons why diesel vehicles consume more fuel than before: 1. Fuel injector: Long-term use can lead to clogged injector nozzles due to carbon deposits from incomplete combustion. A dirty air filter, idle motor, or throttle body, as well as a dirty fuel filter, can cause the engine control module to miscalculate the fuel injection volume, leading to excessive fuel consumption. 2. Ignition system: Poor performance of the ignition module can result in weak high-voltage sparks, reduced ignition capability, and incomplete combustion of some fuel-air mixture, increasing fuel consumption. Excessive carbon buildup on spark plugs, leakage in spark plugs, spark plug sleeves, or certain high-voltage wires can also reduce ignition capability and cause some cylinders to misfire, increasing fuel consumption. 3. Valve train: In the valve train, incorrect valve clearance (either too large or too small) can prevent adequate air intake and clean exhaust. Additionally, erosion of valves and valve seats can compromise ideal sealing, reducing cylinder pressure and engine power.

Is it necessary to upgrade the Camry's audio system?

This mainly depends on whether the car owner is satisfied with the current audio performance. If satisfied, there's no need to upgrade; if not, an upgrade is recommended. The audio systems in cars at this price range generally have average build quality and speaker performance. If you have higher audio requirements, consider upgrading. For those who aren't demanding but are dissatisfied with the factory audio, a lossless audio upgrade is recommended, which can significantly improve sound quality. Here are some details about the Camry: 1. Engine: The Camry is a mid-size car under Toyota, equipped with two engines: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. 2. Suspension: The Camry features a MacPherson independent front suspension and an E-type multi-link independent rear suspension. The E-type multi-link independent suspension enhances wheel contact with the road, thereby improving traction.

What to Do When the Car Has No Power and the Key Cannot Be Pulled Out?

There is a small round hole next to the keyhole; insert a pen refill or toothpick to pull out the key. Generally, car keys have the following four positions: 1. LOCK position: This is the position for inserting and removing the key. At this position, the vehicle's circuits are completely shut off except for the anti-theft system and interior small lights, and the steering wheel is locked. 2. ACC position: Accessory power-on position. When the key is turned to this position, the accessory circuit is activated, allowing devices like the radio to function. 3. ON position: Power-on position. When the key is turned to this position, the entire vehicle's circuits are activated, and the system prepares for engine start-up and performs self-checks. During normal driving, the key remains in this position. 4. START position: Engine start position. When the key is turned to this position, the starter circuit is activated, causing the engine to crank and start. Upon release, the key automatically returns to the ON position.
