What does the STOP fault code mean?

The STOP light in a car is a mandatory parking alarm light, which typically illuminates simultaneously with one of the warning lights such as low oil pressure, low brake fluid level, or high coolant temperature, indicating that the engine must be stopped immediately. Please shut down the engine as soon as possible and promptly troubleshoot the issue. Do not start the engine until the fault is resolved. Specific faults need to be diagnosed using a diesel decoder. Low engine oil pressure can lead to poor lubrication, increased cylinder wear, and in severe cases, engine bearing seizure, causing the engine to malfunction. High engine oil pressure accelerates premature wear of the oil pump and results in excessive oil consumption. High coolant temperature is detrimental to fuel efficiency and increases component wear. When the temperature exceeds 90°C, the engine power decreases accordingly. Excessively high temperatures can also cause detonation, leading to a series of issues such as cylinder scoring, cylinder head gasket damage, and component deformation. Brake system failures may result in sudden brake failure, brake pull, or brake vibration. If the brake system malfunctions, you must stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive may lead to traffic accidents.

What color are the Mazda 3 Axela wheels?

Mazda 3 Axela wheels are silver-gray. The differences between steel wheels and alloy wheels are as follows: 1. The main advantage of steel wheels is their simple manufacturing process, usually using casting technology. For example, aluminum alloy wheels generally use low-pressure casting technology, which has relatively low production costs and strong resistance to metal fatigue. 2. Steel wheels are heavier; the same wheel made of steel is much heavier than one made of aluminum alloy, resulting in greater inertial resistance, poorer heat dissipation, and a tendency to rust. 3. Alloy wheels are lighter, have lower inertial resistance, and higher manufacturing precision. They deform less during high-speed rotation, which helps improve the car's straight-line driving performance, reduces tire rolling resistance, and thereby decreases fuel consumption. 4. The thermal conductivity of alloy materials is about three times that of steel, providing better heat dissipation, which can help mitigate heat degradation in the vehicle's braking system, tires, and braking components.

How to Remove the Spare Tire of BYD Tang?

Here is the method to remove the spare tire of BYD Tang: 1. The spare tire of BYD Tang is located under the vehicle. Use the other end of the tire wrench to pry open a small round cover in the onboard toolbox. Inside, there is a pentagon screw. Use a specialized socket with a handle and turn it counterclockwise, and the spare tire will slowly descend. Keep rotating until the spare tire touches the ground, then rotate a few more times to loosen the steel cable. 2. Once the spare tire is on the ground, pull it out a bit to make it easier to remove the hanger. The hanger can be taken out when it is upright, and it locks the spare tire horizontally. At this step, the spare tire is successfully removed. The introduction of BYD Tang is as follows: 1. The fuel version is equipped with a BYD self-developed 2.0TI engine, code-named BYD487ZQA, featuring dual variable valve timing, dual balance shafts, and direct fuel injection technology, with a maximum power of 151kW and a peak torque of 320Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The new generation Tang DM uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with an electronic gear shift, achieving a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.5/4.3 seconds.

How to Solve Car Overheating?

Solutions for car overheating: 1. Reduce speed and pull over to the roadside, do not rush to turn off the engine; 2. Wear gloves, place a multi-folded wet cloth over the radiator cap, and slightly loosen the cap; 3. After the steam is released and the radiator pressure drops, add cold water or antifreeze. Preventive measures for car overheating: 1. Owners should perform seasonal maintenance in time and regularly check the cooling system to ensure the components like fans and radiators are functioning properly; 2. Do not neglect cleaning the surface of the radiator; 3. Pay attention to the water temperature during long-distance or prolonged driving.

How Long Does It Take to Charge an Electric Bus?

If the battery is completely depleted, it takes approximately 12 hours to fully charge an electric bus. Below is relevant information about electric buses: Overview: Electric buses mainly refer to pure electric buses that operate entirely on electric power. These vehicles feature low noise levels, high driving stability, and achieve zero emissions. Advantages: Electric buses possess excellent dynamic performance with a continuous driving range of up to 500 kilometers. Their batteries have a long service life (over two years) with relatively low costs and excellent compatibility with the vehicle. Development: Promoting electric buses can not only consolidate existing leading advantages but also better cultivate technologies in batteries, electronic control, motors, and charging/swapping systems. This provides valuable experience for electric passenger vehicles, drives and promotes the industrial chain, and effectively boosts the development of China's electric vehicle industry.
