The functions of auxiliary braking are: 1. Prevent wheel lock-up when braking; 2. Automatically adjust the braking force distribution ratio between front and rear axles according to different axle load transfers during braking to improve braking efficiency; 3. Judge the driver's braking action and increase braking force during emergency braking to shorten braking distance; 4. Reduce the slip rate of drive wheel tires by controlling driving force to prevent collisions and stabilize the vehicle. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of running locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools or machinery. Solutions for abnormal brake noises include: 1. Check whether there is a lubrication problem with the top rubber or buffer rubber of the shock absorber; 2. Run-in new brake friction pads; 3. Replace brake pads in time; 4. Clean foreign objects on the surface of brake discs.

What happens if the ABS sensor is broken?

If the ABS sensor fails, it will affect the vehicle's driving, and it is recommended not to continue driving. When the ABS warning light is on, it indicates a malfunction 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. Common causes of the ABS warning light staying on: Cause 1: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by mud, sludge, 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 the 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 operation. Cause 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay can cause system failure. The most common issue is a loose speed sensor connector, which will also show up as a speed sensor signal malfunction in the ABS computer's fault memory. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts.

What is the normal RPM for starting an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission cars typically start between 1500-2000 RPM, which is both fuel-efficient and smooth, causing no damage to the engine. Automatic transmission vehicles have their own idle speed. There's no need to press the accelerator when starting, and as long as the RPM doesn't exceed 2000, it's considered normal. Here are some related details about automatic transmissions: 1. There are certain usage requirements and techniques for automatic transmissions. When shifting gears in an automatic vehicle, shift to 2nd gear when the speed reaches 20 km/h and the RPM is between 1500-2000. Shift to 3rd gear when the RPM exceeds 2000, which is close to 30 km/h. Similarly, shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches 50 km/h. This is because shifting at 2000 RPM can easily cause carbon buildup, so the fuel-efficient and suitable RPM range is between 1500-2000 RPM. 2. For a new automatic transmission car during the initial break-in period, it's best not to exceed 2200 RPM. During the mid break-in period, avoid exceeding 3000 RPM, and it's also recommended not to exceed 3000 RPM during the later break-in period.

What Causes the Airbag Indicator Light to Illuminate in the Car?

Introduction to the reasons why the airbag indicator light is on: The airbag warning light may illuminate during the engine's self-check. The indicator light will turn on when starting the car but will go off after the self-check is completed, typically within about 5 seconds. This is a normal phenomenon. If the light does not turn off, it indicates a fault. Below are specific details on related content: 1. If the airbag indicator light continues to flash or remains lit after 6-8 seconds of vehicle startup, or if the airbag indicator light flashes for 5 seconds and then stays lit while the vehicle is in operation, these two situations indicate that the airbag may have a malfunction. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. 2. The airbag system generally consists of sensors, a microprocessor, an electronic control unit, an airbag cover and support ring, the airbag itself, and an airbag module, among other components. If the warning light is on, it may indicate damage to one of these components. 3. The quality of airbags may become unreliable after 8-10 years of use, so it is recommended to perform maintenance every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers.

What's the matter with the urea gauge not displaying?

This situation is most likely due to a system malfunction. Vehicle weakness, normal urea consumption: Use a diagnostic tool to read the fault code, indicating that the engine has exceeded the emission limit with no other faults. By removing the urea nozzle and performing an injection test with the diagnostic tool, no abnormalities were found. During the inspection, a large amount of urea crystals were found severely clogging the high-temperature catalytic pipe. The exhaust elbow pipe was removed for cleaning, and compressed air was used to clean the soot adhering to the ceramic surface of the catalytic converter. After replacing the urea solution, the test failure disappeared. Low urea pressure, high urea consumption: Fault symptom: The vehicle's instrument panel warning light frequently flashes. The fault code indicates low urea pressure and high urea consumption. The urea tank temperature is too high, causing urea to volatilize and be discharged from the exhaust port, crystallizing around the tank. Excessive crystallization at the exhaust port leads to blockage. Summary: During the operation of the urea system, severe vacuum suction in the urea chamber caused urea decompression blockage, resulting in a low urea pressure fault. Insufficient power, urea consumption too high or too low: The fault light remains on. Insufficient power, torque limited to 1800 rpm. The SCR system is not working properly, with urea consumption being too high or too low.

Will the Car Roll Away If the Handbrake Is Not Properly Engaged?

If the handbrake is not properly engaged, the car will not roll away. Traditional Handbrake: The traditional handbrake, also known as a mechanical handbrake, is the most widely used type of parking brake. The structure of the traditional handbrake is simple, consisting of components such as a brake lever, cable, brake mechanism, and return spring. When parking, pulling up the handbrake lever locks the driveshaft, thereby locking the front wheels (or sometimes the rear wheels), ensuring the vehicle remains stable when parked. Foot Brake: As the name suggests, the foot-operated handbrake is engaged by stepping on a pedal, similar to how the brake is operated. The operation of this parking brake is largely similar to the traditional handbrake. Pressing the pedal engages the brake, and pressing it again releases the brake, causing the pedal to automatically spring back. Electronic Handbrake: The electronic handbrake, or electronic parking brake system, uses electronic control to achieve parking brake functionality. Essentially, it is an upgraded version of the traditional handbrake, replacing the manual pull with an electric mechanism. A small button can activate or deactivate the handbrake function. The electronic handbrake is most commonly located behind the gear lever or near the driver's seat on the left side. The universal symbol for it is a circle with a 'P' inside and two parentheses on either side of the circle.
