Road force measurement is a new service in the automotive service industry, mimicking the equipment used in wheel assembly manufacturing plants to conduct the same measurements. Road force measurement can be used to address tire vibration issues caused by tire uniformity. The uniformity of the wheel is measured only under load conditions. More information on road force measurement is as follows: 1. Principle: Road force measurement simultaneously detects measurement deviations under load and no-load conditions, changes in tire force, and balance machine installation errors to achieve excellent wheel balance. 2. GSP700 Vibration Control System: With the increasing sensitivity of vehicles and improved ride quality in recent years, tire balancing alone is insufficient to eliminate vibration sources. The GSP700 Vibration Control System is a measurement and diagnostic tool that automatically detects potential vibration sources in wheels. As a diagnostic tool, the GSP700 reduces unnecessary tire and wheel replacements, significantly decreases the time required to identify and repair faults, and enhances ride quality.

As someone who enjoys car maintenance, I'd like to share that road force testing is a specialized method for examining the condition of tires and rims during driving. Imagine the car moving on the road, with tires enduring various forces—this test simulates that scenario by using a machine to apply pressure and observe any deformations or uneven spots on the tires. If there are small bumps or irregularities in the tire, you might feel vibrations or steering wheel wobbles while driving, which in severe cases can affect handling and increase fuel consumption. I often see car owners overlook this, but getting a periodic test at a professional shop can help detect issues early, preventing wear or blowout risks and extending component lifespan. It's especially useful when buying a used car or after installing new tires, ensuring smooth and safe vehicle operation. While there are many details involved, the procedure itself is quick.

Is it normal for a new car's glass to have an oily film?

It is not normal for a new car's glass to have an oily film. Oily films on windows are usually found on cars that have been driven for several years, and it is relatively rare for new cars to have this issue. Causes of oily film formation: 1. Vehicle exhaust: Exhaust emissions contain various pollutants from incomplete combustion. Frequent traffic congestion in urban areas, especially when driving behind trucks, can lead to these pollutants adhering to the car's glass, forming an oily film. 2. Grease pollution: If the car is often parked near restaurant chimneys, grease and dirt can accumulate over time. If left untreated, this can form thick grease deposits. 3. Insect remains and bird droppings: These are highly corrosive. If not cleaned off the glass, they can harden and adhere, affecting the glass's transparency and even turning into an oily film. 4. Tree resin: Cars frequently parked under trees may be exposed to tree sap and fruit residues.

What is the penalty for not having the vehicle license in the car?

Driving a motor vehicle on the road without carrying the vehicle license will result in the traffic management department of the public security authority detaining the vehicle, deducting one point from the driver's license, and imposing a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. Here is some additional information: 1. Vehicle License: The vehicle license is a legal document permitting the motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the cover, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, the back has the vehicle photo, and the supplementary page is the endorsed certificate core. 2. Notes: When driving someone else's car, you need to present the vehicle license of that car, not your own. Therefore, when lending your car to someone else or borrowing someone else's car, make sure to check the corresponding vehicle license. If you accidentally bring the wrong license and the car gets impounded, dealing with the situation can be very troublesome.

What does it mean when the ABS light is on in a Buick Excelle?

When the ABS light is displayed in a car, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System. If the wheels lock up during emergency braking, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses significant safety risks. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, each with different causes and solutions, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on constantly (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed and the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently turns on and off, extinguishing when accelerating. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases, the voltage rises, and the ABS light turns off. This may also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine startup until the engine is turned off. Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw on the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: At high speeds, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the fuel tank cap label. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently turns on and off. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if necessary.

Are New Energy Vehicles Afraid of Sun Exposure in Summer?

New energy vehicles, due to their large battery capacity, can suffer from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which may damage the battery pack, reduce its lifespan, and even pose a risk of spontaneous combustion. Additionally, it's important to note that charging should be avoided during extreme heat to prevent fire hazards. Here are some summer car sun protection tips: 1. Park indoors or in shaded areas: The best option for car sun protection is an indoor parking lot, as it minimizes the impact of weather conditions throughout the year. If parking temporarily on the roadside, choose a spot under a shady tree. 2. Sunshade and heat insulation film: Most heat insulation films can block over 90% of UV rays and more than 30% of infrared rays. High-quality films not only provide heat insulation but also help in cooling. 3. Sunshade covers and curtains: Sunshade covers effectively block sunlight and reduce the interior temperature. If sunshade covers seem cumbersome, car sunshades with aluminum foil can be a good alternative due to their strong sunlight reflection and noticeable cooling effect.
