When the O/D-OFF indicator light on the car's dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's overdrive function has been deactivated. To turn off this indicator light, simply press the O/D button to activate the overdrive function. The specific steps are as follows: Open the driver's side door. Depress the brake pedal. Press the one-touch start button to start the engine. The dashboard lights up, confirming that the engine is running. Press the O/D button to complete the operation. To promptly detect faults in the electronic control unit and maintain the most basic operational capability of the automatic transmission in case of a fault, allowing the car to continue driving and facilitating workshop repairs, many modern electronic control automatic transmissions are equipped with self-diagnosis and fail-safe functions. The electronic control unit includes a dedicated self-diagnosis circuit that continuously monitors all sensors and some actuators in the automatic transmission's electronic control system while the car is in motion. If a sensor or actuator is found to be faulty or malfunctioning, the system will implement protective measures. While driving, if the automatic transmission warning light on the dashboard illuminates, it alerts the driver to immediately take the car to a workshop for inspection and repair. Currently, most vehicles use the overdrive indicator light "O/D-OFF" as the automatic transmission warning light. If the overdrive warning light remains on even after pressing the overdrive switch, it indicates a fault in the electronic control unit.

Is Transfer Case Oil the Same as Transmission Oil?

Transfer case oil and transmission oil are not the same. Transfer case oil is differential gear oil and does not have a fixed replacement cycle. On the other hand, transmission oil is designed to keep the transmission system clean and maintain its normal working condition, while also extending the lifespan of the vehicle's transmission components. Generally, the transmission oil for automatic vehicles should be replaced every 3 to 4 years. Below are the detailed explanations: 1. Manual transmission oil is typically replaced every 2-4 years or 60,000 kilometers, depending on factors such as the driver's proficiency in operating the vehicle, the road conditions the vehicle frequently encounters, the mileage driven over a certain period, and whether high-speed driving is common. 2. These factors determine the actual replacement cycle and mileage for gear oil. As long as gear shifting remains smooth and there is no significant change in transmission noise, there is no need to worry too much. However, it is advisable to regularly maintain the vehicle at a 4S shop. 3. Generally, the replacement cycle for transmission oil is calculated in the same way as the vehicle's maintenance cycle, primarily based on mileage or usage time. If the vehicle's manual specifies these two indicators, the earlier one must be followed. 4. If the vehicle manual does not provide such indicators or does not clearly state the oil change interval, manual transmission oil can usually be replaced every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers.

How to Check the National Emission Standard of a Motor Vehicle?

Here are the methods to check which national emission standard a motor vehicle belongs to: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which usually has a clear mark on the back. 2. Log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. 3. Take the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy is acceptable) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. 4. For new vehicles, check the vehicle's factory certificate of conformity. However, generally, the certificate is kept at the vehicle management office, so it is recommended to make a copy for future use when purchasing a new car. 5. Make a rough distinction based on the year the vehicle was registered. Most vehicles registered after 2008 are National IV; vehicles registered in 2007 could be National III or National IV; vehicles registered before 2007 are mostly below National IV, i.e., National III or National II; vehicles registered before 2005 are mostly National II.
