A couple of days ago, my iX3 also triggered this warning light, which scared me into pulling over immediately. After restarting, the fault disappeared but reappeared the next day. Spent 3 hours at the dealership for diagnosis—turned out to be a false alarm from the motor temperature sensor. The technician upgraded the control software and cleaned the catkins from the battery cooling vents. Now it runs fine even with AC on during long trips. A reminder to everyone: never ignore powertrain warnings. High-voltage system failures in EVs can strand you abruptly—must use flatbed tow trucks to avoid undercarriage damage.

Having repaired new energy vehicles for eight years, here are the common causes of iX3 transmission errors: Excessive reducer oil temperature is mostly due to clogged cooling grilles; abnormal noises from the drive motor require checking the rotor bearings; sudden faults after charging might be caused by data drift in the battery management module. The most troublesome issue is oxidation of high-voltage wiring harness connectors, which requires dismantling the entire battery pack. Last week, a car kept alarming repeatedly, and it turned out that voltage fluctuations during charging burned out the DC converter chip—replacing the part cost 8,000 yuan. Remember to conduct regular high-voltage insulation tests!

Ladies, listen up! Don't panic when that warning light comes on! Last time, a yellow light turned on while I was driving my kid to school. I pulled over, turned off the car, locked the doors, waited five minutes, and then restarted—problem solved. The service center said it might have been from stomping on the accelerator in a hurry in the morning, causing excessive motor torque and triggering protection mode. Since then, I've switched to ECO mode with B-gear regeneration, and it hasn't happened again in three months. Oh, and try to avoid driving through deep water in rainy weather—water getting into the motor seals can also trigger a drivetrain fault warning.

Which driving test subjects do drug users need to retake to restore their license?

For drug users to restore their driving license, they must follow the procedure for reapplying for a license, which includes taking Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. Below are the detailed descriptions: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test (Subject 1) is a written exam conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). Subject 2: Field driving skills test (Subject 2) is conducted on-site with an actual vehicle. The result is either pass or fail. The test includes five mandatory tasks performed in sequence: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and hill start and stop. The full score is 100 points, with a passing score of 80 or above (including 80). Subject 3: Road driving skills test (Subject 3) is conducted on a road or simulated site with an actual vehicle. The full score is 100 points, with passing scores of 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving knowledge test (Subject 4) is a written exam with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).

Has the 6-Year Exemption Policy for Small Vehicles Been Changed to 10 Years?

The 6-year exemption policy for small vehicles has not been changed from 6 years to 10 years. Instead, for non-operational small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding minivans) that are over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years. New regulations require: According to the new regulations, new vehicles within the first 6 years can be exempted from inspection twice (requiring an inspection mark application every two years without the need for an on-site vehicle inspection). At the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must undergo an on-site inspection. For private vehicles over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for vehicles between 10 and 15 years old, and once every six months for vehicles over 15 years old. Points to note about the exemption: It is important to note that the 6-year exemption does not mean exemption from annual review. It refers to the exemption of the vehicle from the on-site inspection step at the testing station. However, the on-site inspection is only one part of the annual review process, and vehicle owners still need to apply for the inspection mark every two years.

How Long Can a New Unopened Battery Last?

A new unopened battery can generally last for one to two years, but it needs to be recharged every three months or half a year. Even if not in use, the battery will naturally discharge. High-quality batteries have a lower self-discharge rate and can retain power for a longer time, while low-quality ones are the opposite. If not recharged, the battery will completely lose power and become unusable, unable to hold a charge. Precautions for Battery Storage: The battery should be stored in a well-ventilated and dry place. Batteries are sensitive to cold and should be kept in a warm environment with temperatures between 5-40°C. Avoid storing them in damp areas or near heat-generating equipment. When storing, try to avoid keeping the battery with electrolyte. If stored with electrolyte, it needs periodic recharging, along with adjustments to the liquid level and density. Ensure the battery is fully charged before storage. Battery Charging Time: Typically, battery charging takes a long time, averaging around 8 hours. It's important to control the charging time properly. If the charging current is high, the battery may charge quickly, but overcharging can occur if charging continues, leading to water loss, overheating, and reduced battery lifespan. For severely depleted batteries, slow charging is necessary. Insufficient charging time or inadequate charge can affect vehicle performance.

Why does the handbrake light flicker on and off?

Check for short circuits, open circuits, or loose connections in the relay. If the brake light flickers on and off, first inspect the brake light fuse or relay for any short circuits or open circuits. Then, check if the brake light connector has a loose connection. Intermittent lighting is mainly caused by loose connections in the brake light wiring harness. It's advisable to have it inspected at a repair shop. Below is more relevant information: Brake Light: The brake light is bright and highly noticeable, primarily used to alert following vehicles that the car is slowing down or stopping. Incorrect usage or malfunctioning brake lights can easily lead to rear-end collisions. Notes on replacing brake light bulbs: Most domestically produced vehicles have taillights designed for "dual-purpose use," where a single bulb contains two filaments—the dimmer one for the parking light and the brighter one for the brake light. Some manufacturers design them as high-low pin plug-ins, making them very convenient to use. When replacing, be careful not to reverse the connections.
