ECTPWR light indicates the activation of the car's power mode, which delays upshifting to enhance power output and increase the vehicle's speed. The owner can check if there is an ECTPWR button near the gear shift lever. Pressing this button will turn off the ECTPWR light. To reactivate this mode, simply press the button again. Additional information: ECTPWR is equivalent to the car's sport mode. Pressing this button alters the engine's operation mode, and the transmission's shift logic will also change accordingly. In this mode, the car's power will be stronger, and the throttle pedal will be more responsive. However, prolonged use of this mode will increase fuel consumption and accelerate engine wear.

How to Deal with Internal ECU Failure in the Engine?

Engine ECU internal failure handling method: Go to a repair shop to replace the ECU. The following are methods to diagnose the faulty part of the ECU: 1. Visual Inspection Method: The visual inspection method involves observing circuits, components, etc., with the naked eye to identify abnormalities and directly locate the faulty part and cause. 2. Contact Inspection Method: The contact inspection method involves the inspector directly touching the ECU while it is operational to locate the fault point. By sensing temperature through touch and detecting odors through smell, abnormal symptoms can be confirmed. To avoid causing new faults, during the inspection, the ECU should be placed steadily, ensuring that the circuit board or electronic components maintain a safe distance from other parts (especially the vehicle chassis) to prevent short circuits that could lead to irreparable damage. 3. Fault Reproduction Method: The fault reproduction method intentionally allows the fault to recur, aiming to slow down the occurrence, development, and transformation process of the fault. This provides ample opportunities, frequency, time, and process for observation, helping to identify factors influencing the fault and thereby determining the faulty part and cause.

Can a regular battery be installed in a vehicle with start-stop functionality?

Regular batteries cannot be installed in vehicles with start-stop functionality. Although the working principle of automatic start-stop models may seem simple, the battery requirements are relatively high under different driving conditions, and start-stop models involve more battery interaction. When the vehicle brakes, start-stop models are equipped with kinetic energy recovery devices that can provide high-intensity current charging to the battery; during temporary stops when the engine shuts off, the vehicle's lighting, air conditioning, and other equipment are entirely powered by the battery. Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to lead-acid batteries, which are mainly made of lead and its oxides, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for a van?

The recommended tire pressure for vans is between 2.1bar and 2.3bar in summer, and between 2.3bar and 2.5bar in winter. The tire pressure should be set according to the manufacturer's recommended value, as the tire pressure setting is mainly based on vehicle factors such as the weight of the body and the height of the chassis, and is not necessarily related to the brand of the tire. Hazards of low tire pressure: 1. The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; 2. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerate the local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; 4. Increase the vibration of the body, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

What causes abnormal noise from the engine when braking in D gear?

The reasons for abnormal noise from the engine when braking in D gear: severely worn brake pads, which can be resolved by replacing them. Below are some precautions for daily driving: 1. Immediate adjustment is required if the car pulls to one side when braking: If the car noticeably pulls to the left or right when braking, this is caused by uneven braking on the front wheels, which can easily lead to accidents due to uneven braking force, especially at high speeds. It is essential to take the car to a repair shop for brake adjustment immediately. 2. Regular replacement of brake fluid: Brake fluid should be replaced every 50,000 kilometers. If driving frequently in humid areas, the replacement interval should be appropriately shortened. 3. Replace brake pads according to mileage: Brake pads and brake discs (drums) have a limited lifespan and must be replaced when worn to a certain extent. The normal service life for city driving is approximately 50,000 kilometers, while brake pads typically last around 30,000 kilometers. However, the actual lifespan depends on the driver's habits. It is best to inspect them every 10,000 kilometers.
