The triangular exclamation mark on the dashboard is a general fault indicator light. There are many reasons that can cause the vehicle's general fault indicator light to illuminate, including transmission failure, parking sensor malfunction, vehicle lighting system issues, engine problems, and drivetrain faults. Reasons for the general fault indicator light to illuminate: 1. Transmission failure, which may be caused by overheating transmission, loose transmission gears, or insufficient transmission fluid; 2. Parking sensor malfunction, mostly due to damaged front/rear radar or circuit issues preventing radar recognition; 3. Vehicle lighting system failure, including headlights, turn signals, fog lights, brake lights, and width markers; 4. Engine problems, such as overheating, cylinder misfire, carbon buildup, poor fuel quality, spark plug failure, or fuel system blockage; 5.

Is it okay if it rains after crystal coating?

There is a certain impact, which varies depending on the intensity of the rain and the type of crystal coating product used. Below is an introduction to crystal coating: 1. Function: Crystal coating is currently the most advanced car paint protection solution, offering advantages such as corrosion resistance, scratch prevention, no cracking, and easy cleaning. It protects the vehicle from daily minor scratches, and even when external forces exceed the elastic protection range of the coating, it usually only leaves scratches on the coating without damaging the paint. 2. Duration: The performance of crystal coating is long-lasting and stable, maintaining its protective effect for 1-2 years. However, crystal coating is relatively expensive, typically requiring about 2 days of labor, and demands high technical skills from the technicians.

What does a short-term fuel trim of -20 indicate?

Short-term fuel trim refers to a correction value stored in permanent memory, meaning the memory is retained even after the ignition is turned off. This value itself holds little significance as it is merely an adjustment parameter. Below is expanded information on short-term fuel trim: 1. Overview: Short-term fuel trim is a real-time correction control of fuel injection volume based on oxygen sensor feedback regarding the air-fuel mixture's richness or leanness during previous operating cycles. 2. Air-fuel mixture concentration: When the mixture is too rich (high concentration), the oxygen sensor's output voltage increases, causing the short-term fuel trim to decrease - manifested as reduced fuel injection pulse width, displaying values below 1 on diagnostic tools. Conversely, when the mixture is too lean, short-term fuel trim increases, showing values greater than 1 on diagnostic equipment.
