For an automatic transmission, an RPM of around 1800 to 2000 is considered normal. However, the required speed varies depending on different road conditions, and so does the RPM. As long as the engine RPM does not enter the dangerous range, it is generally considered normal. However, it is important to ensure that the RPM matches the current gear position. Otherwise, driving at a low gear with high speed or a high gear with low speed can cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle. An automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's RPM and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. Common automatic transmission positions include Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).

Why is the ETC light not on?

The reason why the ETC working light is not on may be due to ETC device damage or insufficient power. The ETC device relies on solar charging. You can park the vehicle in a sunny place for a while, reinsert the card once, and check whether the device display can function normally. If there is still no response, please go to a service outlet for troubleshooting, repair, or replacement. More details are as follows: 1. As for how to test ETC sensing, since general users do not have specialized signal testing equipment, it is difficult to do so. The simplest ETC signal testing method is to drive the vehicle into the ETC lane at a speed of less than 20km/h. If the sensing distance is 8-10 meters, it indicates good signal. 2. As for how to test ETC with a mobile phone, in fact, mobile phones with NFC function have ETC card reading function and can also be used for ETC card recharge, but generally cannot test ETC device signals.

What Causes Tire Vibration?

Tire vibration causes introduction: Excessive or insufficient tire pressure: Once the vehicle speed is relatively high, the body vibration amplitude increases, and the tires will also vibrate accordingly. Abnormal tire wear. Due to wheel alignment or rim deformation, the tire surface wears unevenly, causing body vibration during driving. Uneven brake disc surface: During braking, the contact between the brake pads and the brake disc is discontinuous, resulting in fluctuating braking force, which can also cause tire vibration. Large deviations in the four-wheel alignment data of the wheel tires, such as issues with the front wheel alignment angle data, can lead to wheel hub deformation and abnormal wear, causing tire dynamic balance failure and resulting in certain vibrations during driving. Damaged shock absorbers: If the shock absorbers lose their effectiveness, the impact of the road on the tires will be more significant, leading to greater tire vibration. Half-shaft resonance. This situation is usually caused by a bent half-shaft (in front-wheel-drive vehicles) or drive shaft (in rear-wheel-drive vehicles).
