DME control unit is the engine control unit. The following is a detailed introduction to the DME control unit: 1. Function: DME stands for Digital Motor Electronics. The engine control unit controls and monitors all functions of the engine, manages ignition and fuel injection, and also stores data for EWS exchange codes, which is transmitted via data lines. 2. Damage Impact: The DME control unit is relatively prone to damage due to two major weaknesses: poor electromagnetic compatibility, making it highly susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and sensitivity to temperature. Poor electromagnetic compatibility can trigger multiple warning lights in the vehicle and also lead to reduced engine performance.

How to Adjust a Tire Pressure Monitor?

Tire pressure monitor adjustment method is as follows: Press the setting button 5 times to enter the interface for setting high pressure, low pressure, and high temperature values, and switch between selections; another button is for cycling through and adjusting the values. Below is an introduction to tire pressure monitoring: 1. Function: It automatically monitors and detects the "changes" in tire pressure while the car is in motion, and provides warnings through sound alerts or special marks on the dashboard when tire leaks, low pressure, or pressure increases due to rising environmental temperatures occur, prompting the owner to stop and check or perform maintenance promptly, ensuring the safety of both the vehicle and passengers on the road. 2. Classification: Indirect tire pressure monitoring (WSB), direct tire pressure monitoring (PSB), and composite tire pressure monitoring (TPMS).

What is the Land Cruiser?

Land Cruiser is an imported ORV off-road vehicle produced by Toyota, with a production history of over 60 years, known for its strong off-road capability and durability. The performance features of the Land Cruiser are introduced as follows: 1. Full-time four-wheel drive system: As a rugged off-road "hardcore" vehicle, the full-time four-wheel drive system is essential. It helps distribute engine power to each wheel under any conditions, avoiding issues like understeer or oversteer common in two-wheel drive models, ensuring more stable traction. 2. KDSS dynamic suspension system: The KDSS dynamic suspension system in the Land Cruiser can be considered Toyota's "flagship feature." It allows the suspension to have greater extension and compression travel, increasing it by up to 30%, maximizing wheel-to-ground adhesion and improving vehicle stability during off-road driving. 3. Crawl Control system: It's worth mentioning the Crawl Control mode again, as it differs from ordinary brake-based traction control. When the driver activates Crawl Control, they can set the driving speed based on actual conditions. The computer then automatically controls the engine and brake system to maintain a constant low speed, eliminating the need to control the throttle or brakes during uphill or downhill driving, thus preventing skidding or getting stuck due to excessive speed. 4. Tank Turn: Tank Turn, officially known as "Turn Assist," allows the vehicle to turn in place like a tank. It helps navigate tight and sharp turns on narrow roads. When the Tank Turn function is activated and the steering wheel is turned sharply, the computer automatically brakes the inner wheels, creating a near "pivot turn" effect to help the vehicle complete the turn smoothly in one go. Note that this function only works when the Crawl Control mode is enabled.

How to Determine When Engine Oil Should Be Changed

Identifying the right time to change engine oil is as follows: 1. Observe with an oil test paper: Take a small amount of oil from the dipstick and drip it onto the oil test paper, then let it sit overnight, waiting for the oil to fully spread on the paper. If the edges between the oil ring, sediment ring, and diffusion ring on the spread oil are harder, it indicates greater degradation of the oil's performance, and a change is needed. 2. Time: For full synthetic oil, it is recommended to change it every six months or 8,000 kilometers. For semi-synthetic oil, it is advised to change it every 6,500 kilometers or three months.

What Are the Causes of Engine Idling Noise?

Excessive clearance, engine misfire, and engine knocking are all causes of abnormal noise during engine idling. The details are as follows: 1. Abnormal noise caused by excessive clearance. Clearance is a critical factor in automotive assembly quality. When lubrication, temperature, load, and speed are constant, the noise becomes more noticeable as the clearance increases. Some engine components may produce noise due to wear-induced excessive clearance. 2. Engine misfire noise. Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly, manifested as intermittent exhaust gas flow and severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, accompanied by clear "popping" or thumping sounds from the engine.
