TC stands for Traction Control System. More information about the Traction Control System is as follows: 1. The control device of the Traction Control System is a computer that detects the speed of all four wheels and the steering wheel angle. When the car accelerates, if the computer detects a significant difference in speed between the driving wheels and non-driving wheels, it immediately determines that the driving force is too high and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the driving wheels. 2. The function of the Traction Control System is to enable the car to obtain the optimal traction under various driving conditions.

Can China V Vehicles Be Registered?

In regions where China VI has not been implemented, China V vehicles can be registered. However, in areas where China VI has already been implemented, China V vehicles cannot be registered. The emission control level of the China V standard is equivalent to the fifth-stage emission standard currently implemented in Europe. Compared to the China IV standard, the sulfur content in China V standard gasoline is reduced by 80%. Differences Between China V and China VI: The China VI emission standard requires lower carbon monoxide content in vehicle exhaust, lower non-methane hydrocarbon content, lower nitrogen oxide content, and lower PM (particulate matter) content. Compared to the China V standard, the China VI standard is more stringent. Implementation Timeline of China VI: The implementation of the China VI emission standard will be divided into two phases. Starting from July 1, 2020, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must comply with the China VI standard 'a' limit requirements. The second phase will begin on July 1, 2023, when all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must comply with the China VI standard 'b' limit requirements.

In which year did China V vehicles start production?

China V emission standard vehicles generally started production in 2012. China V is an emission standard, which is more stringent than China IV, resulting in fewer pollutants emitted, making it more environmentally friendly. From the perspective of the vehicle itself, the China V emission standard mainly involves a more complex emission control system and higher costs. For car owners, there is no significant difference, although it cannot be ruled out that some models may exhibit weaker power performance. The emission standards for China V vehicles mainly refer to HC emission values below 0.1g/km, CO emission values below 1.0g/km, NOx emission values below 0.06g/km, and PM requirements below 0.005g/km. China V vehicles are those that comply with the 'National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards.' The motor vehicle pollutant emission standards were established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health.

How to Repair a Car Blower That Stops Working?

After disconnecting the power, open the rear cover of the blower. Add a few drops of lubricating oil (such as sewing machine oil) into the bearing sleeves at both ends of the rotor. While adding the oil, gently rotate the blades until they move smoothly, which should resolve the blower issue. Reasons why a car blower stops working: Prolonged use of the blower leads to excessive dust accumulation, increasing the friction coefficient between the rotor and bearings. This can cause the rotor to become obstructed or even jammed, resulting in overheating and damage to the coil. Solutions for coil damage: First, disconnect the power. Separate the two connection points between the blower's lead wires and the power supply wires, leaving them suspended (ensure the two ends of the power wires do not touch each other to avoid a short circuit). Then, turn on the power and carefully test both ends of the power supply wires with a test pen. If one end lights up and the other does not, it indicates the power supply line is normal, and the issue may be a damaged blower coil. If both ends light up or neither does, it suggests a problem with the power supply line.

Can a National IV Emission Standard Vehicle Be Transferred and Licensed?

Vehicles meeting the National IV emission standard cannot be newly licensed, but those already licensed can continue to be used. Additionally, used cars meeting the National IV emission standard can be transferred within the same city. For out-of-city transfers, most regions do not pose issues, but many areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and some cities in Hebei and Jiangsu provinces require vehicles to meet the National V emission standard for transfer. Starting from July 1, 2011, passenger vehicles sold in China fully implemented the fourth-stage emission limits (referred to as the "National IV Standard"). Vehicle models that do not meet the emission standards cannot be sold or registered. Cars produced after 2011 comply with either the National IV or National V emission standards. These standards regulate the content of certain pollutants in vehicle exhaust. Compared to National III, National IV upgraded the post-emission treatment system, reducing pollutant emissions by 50% to 60% compared to National III.

Can National 5 Standard Vehicles Still Be Driven After the Implementation of National 6?

After the implementation of National 6, it will not affect the normal driving of National 5 vehicles, only the sale and registration of National 5 vehicles will be prohibited. China has not set a retirement period for private passenger vehicles. How long National 5 vehicles can continue to be used depends on whether they meet the standards at the time of purchase. If they meet the standards, they can be driven indefinitely. Compared with National 5, the National 6 standard reduces nitrogen oxides by 77% and particulate matter by 67%. It also tightens the requirements for the durability of emission control devices and the on-board diagnostic system. National 5 vehicles can upgrade their emission standards to National 6 by upgrading components such as the three-way catalytic converter and the engine ECU logic. However, this is not recommended because it involves the original factory calibration of the engine. Modifications without rigorous testing can hardly guarantee that the vehicle will not develop other issues.

How many more years can a China III emission standard sedan be used?

China III emission standard sedans can be used until they fail the annual inspection and are then scrapped. The so-called China III standard refers to China's third-stage vehicle emission standard. The mandatory scrapping period for China III trucks is 15 years; for private China III cars, the scrapping mileage is 600,000 kilometers. Additionally, the mandatory scrapping period for China III light-duty and heavy-duty trucks is 10 years, but this can be extended up to 5 years, making the maximum mandatory scrapping period for China III trucks 15 years. Starting from January 1, 2008, and July 1, 2008, vehicles that do not meet the "China III standard" are prohibited from being sold or registered. China's third-stage emission standard is equivalent to the Euro III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is similar to that of Euro III. However, the difference between the two is that China III vehicles must be equipped with an OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics system. The features of the OBD system include an increased number of monitoring points and monitoring systems, with oxygen sensors installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter.
