Engine sensors have the following functions: 1. Air flow sensor: Measures the amount of air entering the engine and is installed on the air bypass channel; 2. Intake pressure sensor: Detects changes in the negative pressure of the intake manifold to determine the engine's air intake volume; 3. Engine speed and camshaft position sensor: Used to measure engine speed and confirm the crankshaft position signal; 4. Throttle position sensor: Includes a linear throttle potentiometer and an idle switch. The former provides the ECU with data to control fuel injection volume and ignition timing, while the latter informs the ECU when the throttle is in the idle state; 5. Coolant temperature sensor: Measures the temperature of the engine coolant; 6. Intake temperature sensor: During engine operation, the mass of air entering the engine is related to the intake temperature and atmospheric pressure. When the intake temperature is low, the air density is higher, resulting in a greater mass for the same volume of gas. Conversely, when the intake temperature is high, the mass of the same volume of gas is smaller; 7. Knock sensor: Detects whether the engine has a knocking phenomenon; 8. Oxygen sensor: Measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gas; 9. Vehicle speed sensor: Measures the vehicle's driving speed.

Can Modified Seats Pass the Annual Inspection?

Modifying car seats can generally pass the annual inspection as long as the number of seats and their layout remain unchanged. The vehicle's seating capacity is fixed and cannot be altered. Additionally, the method of seatbelt usage must not be modified. For instance, if you install professional racing seats with four-point harnesses, they will definitely fail the inspection. Introduction to Vehicle Annual Inspection: 1. The vehicle annual inspection refers to an annual examination conducted on vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, based on the safety technical conditions for motor vehicle operation. 2. The purpose of the vehicle annual inspection is to check the main technical conditions of the vehicle, encourage better maintenance, ensure the vehicle is always in good condition, and guarantee driving safety.

How to Solve the Problem of Overly Hard Shock Absorbers?

Shock absorbers that are too hard can be adjusted by changing the tire pressure. Shock absorbers are wear-prone components during vehicle use, and their performance directly affects the smoothness of the car's ride and the lifespan of other mechanical parts. Below are specific methods to address overly hard shock absorbers: 1. Break-in period for new cars. Generally, shock absorbers being too hard is due to the car being new, as the components have not fully broken in yet. It is normal for owners to feel that the shock absorbers are too hard during this period, and the situation will improve after the break-in period. 2. Reduce tire pressure. The hardness of the shock absorbers can be adjusted by changing the tire pressure, but the reduced pressure should still be within the normal range. This method can provide slight relief. 3. Upgrade to adjustable shock absorbers. Consult professionals and, if modifications are allowed, replace the shock absorbers with adjustable ones, such as coilover shock absorbers, which can also adjust height and damping.

Where is the trunk switch button located?

The trunk switch button is located near the license plate light of the trunk. If there is no switch in this area, it may be positioned in the middle section of the driver's side door. Most vehicles allow the trunk to be opened using the remote key. The car trunk serves as a storage space and also absorbs and cushions some of the impact energy in rear-end collisions, ensuring driving safety. Typically, the trunk contains items such as a spare tire, a vehicle first aid kit, an onboard tool kit, a warning triangle, a fire extinguisher, a car refrigerator, an emergency fuel cap release cable, and in some SUV and MPV models, an original emergency flashlight. Additionally, in high-end models, the starting battery is also installed in the trunk.
