What does the flashing anti-theft lock of Great Wall Fengjun 5 mean?
2 Answers
The flashing anti-theft lock of Great Wall Fengjun 5 is caused by a malfunction of the car's engine anti-theft system. It may be due to a door not being closed properly or a malfunction of the window lock button. Below is a related introduction to car anti-theft locks: Classification: Car anti-theft locks can be basically divided into three categories based on technical principles: mechanical anti-theft locks, electronic anti-theft alarm locks, and networked anti-theft (positioning, tracking) systems. Car anti-theft locks include: electronic car anti-theft locks, network car anti-theft locks, fuel line locks, clutch brake anti-theft locks, wheel anti-theft locks, gear locks, steering wheel locks, car anti-theft magnetic strips, etc. Electronic car anti-theft locks: Electronic car anti-theft devices can emit signals such as beeps, sirens, and lights when a thief enters the car, which can scare away the thief and attract the attention of passersby. There are many types of electronic anti-theft systems, some of which come with a dedicated remote control. There are many such anti-theft products on the market, but very few meet technical standards. Installing an electronic anti-theft device requires modifying the wiring and damaging the original car circuit. If the vehicle experiences a spontaneous combustion accident, some insurance companies may refuse compensation on the grounds of self-installed anti-theft devices, which must be taken seriously. Additionally, signal jammers on the market can interfere with most electronic anti-theft devices, rendering the locking function ineffective.
I've been in automotive repair for many years and have seen similar situations multiple times. For the Great Wall Wingle 5, the flashing of the anti-theft lock usually indicates that the anti-theft system is operating normally. After locking the car, the light will flash slowly, which is part of the system's self-check process, indicating everything is normal. If the flashing frequency becomes rapid, it might indicate a problem, such as low battery in the key, a door not being closed properly, or the anti-theft module sensing abnormal interference. In such cases, I would recommend the owner to first try replacing the key battery with a new one, typically a CR2032 model, and also check if all doors are securely locked. If the issue persists, it could be due to low battery voltage or a circuit fault, requiring professional diagnostic tools. Don't overlook this; addressing it early can prevent more complex repairs and ensure the car remains safe and reliable when parked.
