When the car indicates an ESC system failure, it means there is a problem with the Electronic Stability Control system, and the vehicle's electronic stability control is not functioning. Reasons for ESC failure: The illumination of the ESC warning light indicates a relatively complex issue. It could be due to a software system alert or possibly caused by sensor failure or a short circuit in the wiring. Diagnosing this problem can be quite troublesome, so it's best to promptly visit a 4S dealership for inspection and repair. Function of the ESC system: When the ESC system is activated to correct vehicle stability, it reduces the speed. Pay special attention to road conditions. The ESC system is only a supplementary vehicle system. When the car's instability exceeds physical limits, it cannot be controlled. Do not rely solely on the system. Please drive safely.

I've been driving for over a decade. The ESC system in Geely cars is actually electronic stability control, which is responsible for stabilizing the vehicle during turns or sudden braking to prevent skidding or rollover. If the ESC warning light appears on the dashboard, it means there's a problem with the system. Specifically, it could be due to dirty wheel speed sensors, software errors in the control module, or short circuits interrupting signals. When this system fails, driving on slippery roads becomes particularly dangerous, as the car is prone to fishtailing and losing control. I remember last winter when I drove my colleague's Geely, the ESC light came on, and the car felt unstable during turns, forcing me to slow down and drive carefully. The best course of action is to visit a professional repair shop as soon as possible to read the fault codes with a computer for diagnosis. Otherwise, driving on highways with this issue is nerve-wracking, as safety should always come first.

What is the difference between an original hood and a factory hood?

The dimensions of the original hood and the factory hood are the same, but the paint on the original hood is not factory paint, which may cause color deviation over time. The following is a related introduction about the engine hood: 1. Introduction to the engine hood: The engine hood (also known as the engine cover) is the most prominent body component and one of the parts that car buyers frequently inspect. The main requirements for the engine hood are heat insulation, sound insulation, lightweight, and high rigidity. 2. Principle of the engine hood: The engine hood usually opens by flipping backward, though a small portion flips forward. When flipped backward, the engine hood should open to a predetermined angle without contacting the front windshield, maintaining a minimum gap of about 10 millimeters. To prevent accidental opening due to vibration while driving, the front end of the engine hood is equipped with a safety lock hook mechanism. The lock switch is located under the dashboard in the cabin, and the engine hood should lock simultaneously when the car door is locked.

How to Determine Idle Motor Failure?

To determine whether the idle motor is faulty, the simplest and most direct method is to check for any fault codes. If present, refer to the displayed fault codes to identify the cause of the issue and address it accordingly. Below is some relevant information about the idle motor: 1. Introduction to the Idle Motor: The idle motor is a component that controls the idle speed of a motor vehicle. When the engine runs without load, it is referred to as idling. 2. Function of the Idle Motor: The idle motor is primarily responsible for managing the vehicle's idle speed, aiming to adjust the idle according to the engine load during idling. During idling, it alters the cross-sectional area of the idle air passage based on the engine temperature and load, ensuring optimal idle speed under various conditions. The idle stepper motor is mounted on the throttle body and is used by the engine controller to regulate the engine's idle speed. When the engine speed deviates from idle, the throttle valve adjusts to control the amount of air entering the intake manifold, which is mechanically operated by the accelerator pedal cable.

What is the plastic next to the fender?

The plastic next to the fender is called the wheel arch trim. Below is relevant information about the fender: 1. Introduction to the fender: The fender, also known as the wing panel (Fender), is categorized into front fender and rear fender based on its installation position. It refers to a type of covering component on motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles. 2. Function of the fender: The fender is also called the wing panel (named for its shape and position resembling a bird's wing on older vehicle bodies). The fender is located on the outer side of the wheel. Its function, according to fluid dynamics, is to reduce the drag coefficient, making the vehicle's movement more stable. Based on installation position, it is divided into front fender and rear fender. The front fender prevents gravel and mud kicked up by the wheels from splashing onto the underside of the vehicle during driving, thereby reducing damage and corrosion to the chassis.
