The reasons for the warning light coming on are: 1. Sensor issues: When the water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, or oxygen sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or experience signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data; 2. Maintenance issues: Irregular maintenance and poor driving habits can increase the burden on the engine; 3. Fuel quality issues: The fuel added to the car has a specific grade, and failure to add the required type can cause engine wear; 4. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: This can lead to engine carbon buildup or knocking issues, which are monitored by the engine's oxygen sensor; 5. False faults: These can occur due to impacts while driving, tampering with certain engine connectors, or temporary signal interruptions in the ECU.

When to Replace Brake Pads?

Brake pads should be replaced after the car has traveled 80,000 kilometers or every 4 years, but the replacement time may vary depending on the vehicle's usage. Brake pads are a crucial component of the automotive braking system, consisting of a steel plate, friction material, and an insulating layer. They achieve braking by squeezing the brake disc to create friction during braking. The following symptoms indicate that it's time to replace the brake pads: 1. When the thickness is reduced to below 0.5cm, a new brake pad should be installed; 2. Sound: If the car produces squealing or hissing noises during braking, it's time to replace the brake pads; 3.

Does the Dash Cam Still Work When the Car Is Parked?

When the car is parked, the dash cam will usually stop working. However, a small number of dash cams continue to operate even when the car is parked. Whether it works or not depends on which vehicle wire the dash cam is connected to. Some factory-installed dash cams are connected to a constant power source, in which case they do not automatically shut off and can record continuously for 24 hours. If connected to the ACC (Accessory) circuit, the dash cam will automatically turn off when the ignition is switched off, i.e., when the power is cut. A dash cam is a device that records video, audio, and other relevant information while the vehicle is in motion. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process, including video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. For those who enjoy self-driving trips, it can also be used to document the journey through challenging terrains.
