What does it mean when the CHECK light comes on in the car?

CHECK indicator light is the engine malfunction indicator lamp. Below are the specific reasons why the engine malfunction light may illuminate: 1. Irregular maintenance: Approximately 50% of engine-related faults are caused by poor maintenance. 2. Poor combustion: Suboptimal combustion conditions in the engine are a primary cause for the illumination of the engine malfunction light. In automotive design, to ensure the engine operates in good condition and maintains normal working lifespan, an oxygen sensor is installed to monitor the engine's combustion state. If combustion conditions deteriorate—such as excessive levels of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen oxides—it not only pollutes the environment but also leads to fuel wastage and excessive engine wear. 3. Engine knocking: The engine is equipped with a dedicated knock sensor to monitor knocking. Engine knocking indicates potential severe mechanical damage or significant power loss. Typically, knocking is categorized into perceptible and imperceptible knocking. In cases of imperceptible knocking, the engine control unit adjusts parameters to mitigate adverse effects. However, when imperceptible knocking exceeds the adjustable range of the engine control unit, the engine malfunction light will illuminate as a warning.

Is Putty Required for Bumper Painting?

Generally, putty is not needed when painting a new bumper. However, due to minor abrasions and bumps that most parts sustain during transportation, new parts often have uneven surfaces, requiring putty application to restore smoothness before painting. If a large area requires putty, it may raise suspicions about whether it's a new bumper. You can distinguish between new and old bumpers by examining the paint condition on the bumper frame or the installation of screws. It is recommended to have a professional assess this. Related information about bumpers: 1. Definition: A car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle. Twenty years ago, car bumpers were primarily made of metal. Today, in addition to maintaining their original protective function, bumpers are also designed to harmonize with the vehicle's overall styling and to be lightweight. 2. Function: Located at the front and rear of the vehicle, bumpers are designed to prevent external damage from affecting the vehicle's safety systems and to reduce injuries to occupants during high-speed collisions. Increasingly, they are also designed to protect pedestrians.

Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrapping period of 13 years, other small and mini commercial passenger vehicles 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles 15 years. Mini commercial trucks have a scrapping period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks 10 years. Private vehicle scrapping regulations: For family-use 5-seat cars and 7-seat SUVs, there is no usage period limit for non-commercial small and mini vehicles. The state will guide scrapping when the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers. In addition to the above vehicles, small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit.

How Often Should You Recharge the Refrigerant in a Car?

It is generally recommended to check or top up the refrigerant every 2 years, and completely replace the refrigerant every 5 years. Below is relevant information: 1. Refrigerant: Refrigerant, also known as coolant, is the medium substance used in various heat engines to facilitate energy conversion. These substances typically undergo reversible phase changes (such as gas-liquid phase transitions) to increase power output. Examples include steam in steam engines and refrigerant in refrigeration systems. In general, a steam engine releases the thermal energy of steam and converts it into mechanical energy to generate power, while the refrigerant in a refrigeration system is used to transfer heat from a low-temperature area to a high-temperature area. 2. Precautions: After more than 3 years of use, air conditioning systems will experience some degree of refrigerant loss, known as refrigerant depletion. In such cases, it is essential to recharge the refrigerant promptly. Failure to do so may not only prevent normal operation but could also shorten the lifespan of the compressor or even damage the electrical circuits.
