When the ABS light comes on in a car, it indicates that the anti-lock braking system may have a malfunction. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Principle: The ABS anti-lock braking system uses sensors installed on the wheels to send signals when the wheels are about to lock up. The controller then instructs the regulator to reduce the hydraulic pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing the braking torque. After a certain period, the original hydraulic pressure is restored. This cycle repeats continuously (up to 5~10 times per second), keeping the wheels in a rotating state while providing maximum braking torque. 2. ABS: In cars without ABS, if the brake pedal is pressed hard while driving, the wheel speed will rapidly decrease. When the braking force exceeds the friction between the wheels and the ground, the wheels will lock up. Fully locked wheels reduce the friction between the tires and the ground. If the front wheels lock up, the driver cannot control the vehicle's direction. If the rear wheels lock up, it is very easy for the vehicle to skid sideways.

What is the principle of an automotive carbon canister?

Automotive carbon canister principle: The fuel tank of a car is used in conjunction with a carbon canister to form a fully sealed fuel tank. When the vehicle is stationary, the fuel inside the tank volatilizes due to its own properties, and the vapor enters the evaporation zone of the carbon canister through pipes, where it is immediately adsorbed by activated carbon, condensed, and reduced back into liquid fuel. Any excess gas is then discharged through the vent. The carbon canister is essentially a container filled with activated carbon, serving as a device to collect gasoline vapors for secondary use. It is typically installed between the fuel tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a highly volatile liquid, the fuel tank often contains fuel vapors at normal temperatures. The function of the fuel evaporation emission control system is to direct these vapors into the combustion process and prevent them from being released into the atmosphere.

Why does the car shake significantly when starting?

The reasons for significant shaking when the car starts: 1. The throttle is dirty or the fuel injector has excessive carbon deposits. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult for the car to start; 2. Issues with the ignition system. Check the working condition of the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also cause such faults; 3. Unstable fuel pressure. If the fuel pump's supply pressure is abnormal or the intake pressure sensor values are incorrect or malfunctioning, it can lead to car body shaking; 4. Aging engine components. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations will be transmitted to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing shaking when starting.

How to Remove Cement from Car Surface?

To remove cement from a car surface, follow these methods: 1. If the cement has been on for less than 12 hours, first wet and soak it with water, then use car wash liquid and a towel to wipe it off; 2. If it has been more than 12 hours, the cement is likely hardened. Apply acidic solution with a brush to the cement area, which will dissolve the cement, then rinse with water; 3. Pour gasoline onto the cement, wait for it to soften, and then remove it by hand; 4. Use a hair dryer to heat the area with cement, and it may fall off automatically; 5. Spray some white vinegar on the cement, wait for 3 to 5 minutes, then scrape it off with a hard card, and finally clean the painted surface with car wash liquid where the white vinegar was applied.

How Many Months Qualify as a Stock Vehicle?

Generally, vehicles that remain unsold for more than three months after being manufactured and leaving the factory can be considered stock vehicles. Below is relevant information about stock vehicles: 1. Definition of Stock Vehicles: Stock vehicles are a term used in the automotive sales industry, referring to vehicles that have not been sold for a long time after leaving the factory and have been in stock for an extended period. 2. For Imported Vehicles: Processes such as transportation, customs declaration, and clearance require considerable time, so the duration for imported vehicles to be classified as stock can be shorter. Typically, if they exceed six months or a year, they are referred to as stock vehicles. 3. Regarding the Approach to Stock Vehicles: Dealers usually offer discounts and promotions to sell stock vehicles, which is why stock vehicles are generally priced lower than new cars.
