Before starting the vehicle, ensure the engine brake is in the off position. When the engine temperature reaches above 50 degrees Celsius, turn on the engine brake switch. Release the clutch pedal, release the accelerator pedal, and engage the engine in a gear with RPM above 11,000 per minute for the engine brake to start working. The engine brake will disengage immediately when the engine speed drops below 1,100 RPM or when the clutch pedal is depressed.

What Causes the ABS Light to Stay On in a Car?

ABS light can illuminate in various states, each with different causes and solutions. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections between system wires or poor contact of the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wire connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. The ABS light turns off as the engine speed increases and voltage rises. This can also occur if the ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body's wire connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it. Clean the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant difference between the rear and front wheel speeds; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact of the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and push the brake switch linkage down with your finger. Release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch if needed. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a fault in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
