b1801 fault means "Driver side deployment device circuit short", which indicates the status of the airbag system to the driver through the airbag warning light. The following situations indicate a fault in the airbag system: 1. After the ignition switch is turned on: the light stays on continuously without flashing, or flashes 7-9 times and then stays on. 2. Light on: the light stays on while the engine is running. 3. Light off: the light does not stay on steadily during engine starting, or does not light up at any time. 4. Fault code: when the airbag system is put into diagnostic mode, the indicator light will flash the fault code.

What Does It Mean When the Engine Malfunction Light Stays On?

The engine malfunction light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor Failure: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or signal interruptions occur, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the malfunction light. Fuel/Oil Quality Issues: Failure to use fuel and oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the malfunction light activation. Poor Air-Fuel Mixture Combustion: This can result in engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, the malfunction light will illuminate as a warning. Causes include spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, or fuel line blockages. Turbocharging Problems: Issues with intake boost pipes or turbochargers (especially turbocharger damage) may trigger the light, often accompanied by oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, power loss, metallic noises, or blue/black exhaust smoke. Intake System Problems: Blocked engine pipes due to dirty air filters or lack of regular cleaning can cause intake issues, potentially triggering the malfunction light. Exhaust System Faults: Problems like rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues (most common), or exhaust camshaft/bearing failures may activate the light. Causes include using leaded gasoline, improper lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions. Anti-Theft System Malfunction: If the electronic anti-theft system fails or doesn't match the engine ECU, it may prevent normal engine operation and trigger the warning light. When the engine light illuminates, follow these steps: 1. First check if the engine operates normally. If there's shaking, black smoke, etc. (especially with red warning lights), do NOT restart the engine. 2. If the engine can start: After turning off for 5-10 minutes, power the vehicle without pressing brakes (push start button) or depressing clutch (turn key halfway to ON position). The system will self-check for 5-10 seconds - observe if the light turns off. 3. If the light remains on, visit a service center immediately. Technicians can read diagnostic trouble codes using scanners for targeted repairs.

Can an electric vehicle be charged while the power is on?

An electric vehicle can charge its battery while the power is on, but it is recommended to disconnect the power during charging. Electric vehicles are a mode of transportation chosen by many consumers due to their lightweight, flexibility, and fuel-free operation, making them ideal for navigating congested urban roads. Below is some basic information about electric vehicles: 1. The battery is a crucial component of an electric vehicle, responsible for storing electrical energy. 2. The battery is a wearable part that requires periodic replacement, as its performance degrades with the increase in charge and discharge cycles. 3. The battery consists of a casing, electrolyte, separator, positive electrode, and negative electrode. 4. Ions in the battery move within the electrolyte, but some ions react with the electrolyte during this process, leading to a reduction in the number of ions inside the battery. 5. A decrease in the number of ions in the battery results in a reduced energy storage capacity.

What is the function of HiCar?

The function of HiCar is to enable interconnection between cars, mobile phones, and other IoT devices. Here is a related introduction about HiCar: 1. Introduction: HUAWEI HiCar will provide functions such as automatically and seamlessly continuing to play songs that were playing on mobile phones, Huawei speakers, and other devices when entering the car; when the mobile phone GPS signal is weak, HiCar can overlay the vehicle/mobile phone GPS signals to make positioning more accurate; after parking, the vehicle's external camera will automatically take photos to record the parking space, etc. 2. Functions: More importantly, through interconnection with mobile phones, wearable devices, and other components, the car system will directly read relevant information and present it in the form of cards on the in-car display screen, allowing the car owner to quickly perform operations such as destination navigation and continuing to listen to songs. Through data collected by wearable devices and in-car cameras, the system will also monitor whether the driver has unsafe situations such as answering phone calls or physical discomfort and provide timely reminders.
