Prado ABS fault code c120a indicates that the ECU initial setup has not been completed. Here is a detailed introduction to automotive fault codes: 1. Meaning: It represents the monitored fault system: P for powertrain system; B for body system; C for chassis system; U for network or data communication transmission system fault code. 2. The first digit: It can be a generic code (applicable to all vehicle manufacturers) or a manufacturer-specific code. For example: 0 refers to a generic code, while 1 refers to a manufacturer-specific code. General Motors in the United States has specific numeric type codes to assist in diagnosing vehicle technical conditions. 3. The second digit: It indicates the type of affected fault system, with digits ranging from 1-7: 1 for fuel and air metering system; 2 for fuel and air metering system (specifically referring to poor injection system circuit function); 3 for ignition system or misfire monitoring system; 4 for auxiliary emission system; 5 for speed control and idle control system; 6 for computer output line system; 7 for transmission.

Can You Still Drive with Brake System Failure?

You cannot continue driving with brake system failure. If the brake system malfunctions, it will affect driving safety, and you should promptly inspect and repair it. A car's brake system consists of a vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, wheel brake cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs. To ensure safe driving, improve the average driving speed, and enhance transportation productivity, dedicated braking mechanisms are installed on various vehicles. This series of specialized devices is collectively referred to as the brake system. The main functions of the brake system are to decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle, maintain a stable speed for a vehicle going downhill, and keep a parked vehicle stationary.

What's the difference between Continental MC5 and MC6?

Continental MC6 differs from MC5 mainly in dry handling, mileage, wet handling, wet braking performance, dry braking performance, etc. Here are the specific details: Introduction: The Continental MC6 is the successor model to the MC5, which comprehensively improves handling and durability while maintaining the original noise and comfort levels. Tires: Tires are the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road surface, transferring driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling the vehicle's driving, braking, and steering operations. Supporting vehicle load: The vehicle's load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure of the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure.

Is it biennial inspection after 6-year exemption?

A 5-seater passenger vehicle that has reached 6 years of age requires biennial inspection under the new annual inspection regulations implemented on November 20, 2020. Below is an introduction to vehicle annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection procedure refers to the mandatory process that every motor vehicle must undergo annually, equivalent to a physical examination for the vehicle. It helps promptly eliminate potential safety hazards and reduce traffic accidents, commonly known as vehicle inspection. Items to prepare for annual inspection: Before the annual inspection, check the validity date of the compulsory traffic insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance; bring the ID card of the vehicle owner or the agent; and the vehicle registration certificate.

Is Front-Wheel Drive or Rear-Wheel Drive Faster in a Straight-Line Acceleration?

Rear-wheel drive cars are faster in straight-line acceleration. During the initial launch, rear-wheel drive vehicles provide better traction on the rear wheels, allowing the car to accelerate more quickly. When a car accelerates, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts backward, causing the front end to lift. For front-wheel drive cars, this reduces the traction on the drive wheels, making it harder to achieve higher speeds in a short time. In front-wheel drive cars, the front wheels are responsible for both steering and driving the car forward, while in rear-wheel drive cars, the front wheels handle steering and the rear wheels handle propulsion. Straight-line drag racers often modify the drive wheels with wider tires to improve traction and minimize wheel spin during launch.

Should the Great Wall C30 use 5w30 or 40?

The Great Wall C30 can use 5w30 engine oil, as all models of the Great Wall C30 are equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. There is no need to use 40 viscosity oil for a naturally aspirated engine. Engine oil is referred to as the blood of the engine; without it, the engine cannot operate. When the engine is running, the oil forms a thin film on the surfaces of various components inside the engine, preventing direct contact and friction between them. If the engine components come into direct contact and friction occurs, it can generate a large amount of heat instantly, potentially causing engine damage.

How to Fold the Side Mirrors on the Atenza?

The electric folding switch for the Atenza's side mirrors is located near the driver's side power window control area. The driver can fold the mirrors from inside the vehicle, and they will automatically unfold when the vehicle is started. More details are as follows: 1. As the widest component installed on a vehicle, side mirrors are most susceptible to impact in the event of a sideswipe. To minimize scratches, side mirrors need to have a folding function. 2. Foldable side mirrors can retract when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's maneuverability. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the mirrors can also be folded, protecting the mirror surface, reducing parking space requirements, and effectively avoiding scrapes. 3. In most cases, the side mirror folding button is located in the electric switch area on the driver's side door, but some models are exceptions, such as those with the control in the gearshift base area. 4. Nowadays, mid-range and high-end vehicles generally feature foldable side mirrors. The folding function comes in two types: manual and electric. Manual folding requires the driver to reach outside the window or exit the vehicle to fold the mirrors, which is inconvenient and unsafe. This type is now rare. 5. The other type is electric folding, which is more common. Its advantage is that the driver can fold the mirrors from inside the vehicle, and they will automatically unfold when the vehicle is started. This feature is particularly useful for roadside parking in large cities, as folded mirrors save significant space and prevent the vehicle from suffering 'broken ear' damage.
