The yellow engine indicator light coming on indicates that there is a fault in the engine, but this fault is just a "common conventional fault". Here is some relevant information about the yellow engine indicator light coming on: 1. There is a fault in the engine. At this time, the "common conventional faults" are generally mainly: the throttle is too dirty, or there is a problem with the fuel quality, or the oxygen sensor is faulty, the three-way catalytic converter is clogged, and other common issues. 2. The engine fault does not have a significant impact on the safe driving of the vehicle, but you should find time to inspect and repair the engine system as soon as possible. 3. The yellow engine light indicates an intermittent fault in the engine, which means that the engine control system has detected a deviation in the engine condition or a sensor signal.

What is the fuel consumption of the Pajero 3.0?

The average fuel consumption of the Pajero 3.0 is 14 liters per 100 kilometers. Below are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Vehicle-related reasons: As an internal control unit in the car, the oxygen sensor primarily monitors the fuel-air ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the fuel-air ratio, leading to a sudden increase in fuel consumption. After the oxygen sensor is damaged, the vehicle will emit darker exhaust gases from the tailpipe while driving. Solution: Replace the oxygen sensor at an authorized 4S store. Be sure to use a detector to test it again after the car is warmed up (since the oxygen sensor operates at high temperatures). A fluctuating signal output indicates a genuine part. This is because when the vehicle is not running, the oxygen sensor does not function, and even if a fake part is installed, it cannot be directly detected from the dashboard. 2. Long overdue replacement of the "three filters": During vehicle use, the three filters (oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter) must be replaced regularly. If they are not replaced for a long time, they will become dirty and affect performance, sending incorrect information to the engine control unit, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and increased engine carbon deposits. Solution: Regularly maintain the vehicle and replace the "three filters" based on the mileage driven.

What brand of tire is Yokohama?

Yokohama is the brand name of Yokohama tires. Below are specific details about the tire load index: 1. Load Index: The load index is a numerical value (unit: kilograms) corresponding to the maximum load capacity, indicating the maximum weight the tire can bear under normal inflation conditions. 2. Speed Index: The speed index is an indicative letter, ranging from J to Z. Under the corresponding load capacity of the relevant load index, each letter represents the maximum speed the tire is allowed to reach. These two factors together are referred to as the service description and are interdependent with the load index. For example: In the tire specification 195/65R15-91V, the load index is 91, corresponding to a maximum load capacity of 615 kilograms, and the speed rating is V, meaning the maximum speed is limited to 240 km/h.
