SVS indicator light is the engine fault indicator light, which is equivalent to the "engine shape" indicator light; when the vehicle's ignition key is turned on, this light will illuminate and will turn off after the vehicle is started; when the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will illuminate; if this light comes on while the vehicle is in motion, it indicates that there is a fault with the vehicle's engine, and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. The following is an introduction to the ECU: 1. The role of the ECU: The ECU can collect data through various sensors, and after processing, it can control the engine's operation through control mechanisms. Without the ECU and sensors, the engine cannot function properly. 2. The principle of the ECU: The principle of the ECU is to detect the engine's working conditions through sensors installed in different locations, including engine speed, crankshaft position, exhaust temperature, exhaust oxygen content, and other parameters, and send these signals to a dedicated microprocessor, which processes them and issues control signals to adjust the engine's ignition timing and fuel supply in a timely manner, achieving the desired optimal effect.

What Causes Abnormal Noises When Starting the Car?

The causes of abnormal noises include excessive engine valve clearance and transmission shaft support failure. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: 1. Excessive engine valve clearance: When the vehicle has been driven for many kilometers or used for a long time, the engine valves and hydraulic lifters will experience some wear. Excessive clearance will lead to abnormal noises. Solution: Disassemble the cylinder head to replace the components and change the engine oil regularly. Otherwise, the lubrication effect of the oil will deteriorate, accelerating the wear of the valves and hydraulic lifters. 2. Transmission shaft support failure: This is caused by wear of the intermediate bearing, poor lubrication, or improper assembly leading to bearing damage. Solution: After parking, manually push and pull the transmission shaft near the intermediate bearing support. If there is significant looseness, it should be removed for repair. If the oil seal or rubber components are damaged, they should be replaced. If the bearing is not loose, lift the rear wheels and manually twist the transmission shaft to check.

What Causes the Steering Wheel Noise in a Camry?

Toyota Camry steering wheel and steering noise causes: 1. Unlubricated steering column with high friction; 2. Insufficient power steering fluid; 3. Faulty universal joint; 4. Aging and hardened rubber bushings on the chassis suspension stabilizer bar links; 5. Failed wheel bearing. Additional information: From the steering gear principle perspective, the Toyota Camry achieves vacuum assistance, but this only reduces the driver's control effort without changing the actual force on the steering gear itself. Therefore, the effective way to reduce steering gear wear is to minimize its working load. Car enthusiasts should develop the habit of turning the steering wheel only after the wheels start moving, which reduces tire-ground friction resistance, prevents excessive load on the steering gear and over-wear of the steering linkage system, thereby avoiding noise when turning the wheel.

Is the 2019 Corolla a three-cylinder or four-cylinder?

The 2019 Corolla is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. A four-cylinder engine is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form, with the basic principle being the transformation of the thermal energy from gasoline (or diesel) into mechanical energy by pushing the piston to perform work through the combustion and gas expansion within a sealed cylinder. The 2019 Corolla is a vehicle launched by Toyota, featuring a sharp front-end design with a large grille somewhat reminiscent of the Avalon, and distinctive headlights equipped with adaptive high/low beam functionality. The 2019 Corolla comes with two engine options: a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine, delivering maximum power outputs of 85kW and 72kW, and peak torques of 185Nm and 142Nm, respectively.

What does Corolla hold mean?

Corolla hold is the switch for autohold, which is the automatic parking system, a technical application that enables automatic handbrake functionality during vehicle operation. This technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary and prevents unnecessary rolling when the automatic electronic parking brake is engaged. The Corolla is a compact sedan under Toyota, and the domestic version of the Corolla is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 72 kW, a maximum torque of 142 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5,200 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 3,600 rpm. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 85 kW, a maximum torque of 185 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5,200 to 5,600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.
