What is Steering Wheel Play?

Steering wheel play refers to the free movement (also known as free rotation angle or travel) of a car's steering wheel. It is the angle the steering wheel can turn without causing any deflection in the steering wheels. This play is the cumulative result of the combined clearances in the entire steering system and the steering wheels. Below is more information about the steering wheel angle sensor (which is essentially the steering wheel play sensor): 1. Steering Wheel Angle Sensor: A component of the vehicle stability control system, primarily installed in the steering column below the steering wheel. It is generally connected to the PCM via the CAN bus and can be categorized into analog and digital steering wheel angle sensors. 2. Three-Gear Mechanical Structure: Commonly used steering wheel angle sensors employ a three-gear mechanical structure to measure the rotation angle and the number of turns. The large gear rotates with the steering column, while the two smaller gears, differing by one tooth, are fixed to the sensor housing and the vehicle body, remaining stationary as the steering wheel turns.

What Are the Reasons for Not Recommending the Installation of a Parking Sensor?

Parking sensors are not recommended for installation due to poor compatibility, which can easily lead to display system malfunctions due to incompatibility. Here is a detailed introduction to automotive parking sensors: 1. Overview: Parking sensors, also known as "reverse collision avoidance radar" or "parking assist devices," mainly consist of ultrasonic sensors, controllers, and displays. The primary function of ultrasonic sensors is to emit and receive ultrasonic signals. 2. Function: Parking sensors are safety assist devices for vehicles when parking or reversing. They can inform the driver about surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive signals, alleviating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helping the driver eliminate blind spots and unclear vision.

Does a cigarette lighter not retracting affect the car?

A cigarette lighter not retracting can affect the car. It may cause a short circuit, potentially damaging other electrical equipment by avoiding circuit shorts. There are three reasons why a cigarette lighter does not retract as follows: 1. The cigarette lighter is not powered. If the car cigarette lighter has not completed heating, the lighter will not pop out. 2. The cigarette lighter may have blown a fuse.
