What is Steering Wheel Play?

4 Answers

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 current should be set for a car battery charger?

The current of a car battery charger should be adjusted to one-tenth of the battery's capacity. The CCA parameter in the car's performance specifications represents the battery's maximum discharge current. The maintenance methods for the battery are: 1. Charge the battery promptly when the ammeter indicates insufficient charge; 2. Adjust the electrolyte density according to the standards for different regions and seasons; 3. Add distilled water or a special replenishing fluid when the electrolyte is low. The functions of the battery are: 1. It supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system when starting the engine; 2. It powers the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. It provides power to the electrical equipment when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. It mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system, protecting the car's electronic devices; 5. It stores excess electricity generated by the alternator.

Can a Dash Cam Capture the Side of a Car?

Dash cams can partially capture the side of a car. Here is a detailed introduction about car dash cams: 1. Overview: The working principle of a car dash cam is to digitally record and continuously update the road conditions in front of, inside, and around the car. The recorded data includes audio inside the car, as well as the car's acceleration, steering, and braking, which can be used to investigate traffic accident liability. 2. Additional Features: Dash cams constantly monitor the car's condition. Combined with remote network control, they can be instructed to capture images inside and outside the car in case of vehicle theft, providing clues to help recover the stolen vehicle.

How long is the penalty for parking within the grid lines?

Parking within the grid lines is considered a violation regardless of duration. Yellow grid lines are used to mark areas where parking is prohibited for any reason, typically painted at intersections, entrances, and other locations prone to temporary parking that may cause traffic congestion. In other words, parking is strictly prohibited within yellow grid lines as they are usually located near intersections or entrances of important facilities. Below are details about grid lines: 1. Location: Grid lines are painted on roads in front of large institutions or emergency service facilities (such as fire stations, hospitals, etc.); they are also painted at roadside three-way intersections (where traffic lights are inconvenient to install) with frequent vehicle access. 2. Driving regulations: When there are vehicles waiting at a red light on the opposite side of the yellow grid, incoming vehicles must wait at the other end of the grid and are not allowed to enter the grid area to wait for the red light, otherwise it will be considered a violation.

Why does the fuel float fail to rotate?

The fuel float's inability to rotate is caused by aging of the float. Below is an introduction to fuel float-related information: 1. Fuel float: Also known as the fuel tank float in automobiles, it serves not only as a fuel level indicator but also as a sensing device for fuel level. This device, together with the fuel gauge, forms a fuel level detection system in vehicles. Therefore, it is integrated with the fuel pump. It floats entirely by buoyancy on the fuel surface, meaning the position of the float indicates the fuel level. Thus, by observing it, one can determine the fuel quantity in the tank. 2. Principle: The float stays afloat on the fuel surface by buoyancy, with its position indicating the liquid level. Knowing the liquid level height allows determining the fuel volume inside the tank based on the tank's shape.

What is the speed limit for cars on first-class roads?

First-class roads have a speed limit of 60-100km/h for cars. Below are detailed explanations about vehicle speed: 1. Overview: Vehicle speed refers to the distance a car travels per unit of time, commonly measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. It is one of the three key parameters in traffic flow theory and holds significant importance in traffic flow studies. 2. Others: Vehicle speed can also broadly refer to motor vehicle speed. Depending on different purposes, vehicle speeds are mainly categorized into spot speed, section speed, and design speed. Spot speed is the instantaneous speed of a vehicle passing a specific point on the road. Design speed is the speed set to determine design indicators for various geometric elements of the road and ensure their coordination.

What is the reason for the idle oil light coming on and then going off when revving the throttle?

The reason for the idle oil light coming on and then going off when revving the throttle is: 1. The engine oil is too thin; 2. Wear of the vehicle's engine crankshaft bearing; 3. The engine oil pump is not working properly; 4. Faulty engine oil pressure sensor. The reasons for the car oil light coming on are: 1. Insufficient oil quantity; 2. Clogged oil passages; 3. Low oil viscosity; 4. Oil pump issues; 5. Problems with the oil sensor; 6. Electromagnetic interference. The steps for changing the oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the undercover, and place a container of about 10 liters under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, after draining, tighten the oil drain plug and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the undercover and lower the car, use a funnel to add oil into the oil filler port.
