Porsche PSM malfunction refers to a fault in the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system. This system utilizes multiple sensors to monitor real-time data such as driving direction, speed, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration, then calculates the vehicle's actual driving direction accordingly. A constantly illuminated ABS light indicates an alert in the Anti-lock Braking System. More details about ABS are as follows: 1. ABS light briefly illuminates for a few seconds when starting the vehicle: The light turns on when the ignition is switched on or the engine is started, as the system undergoes an automatic self-check. The light will turn off once the check is completed. 2. ABS activates when the brake pedal is rapidly pressed to the floor: During emergency braking situations, the Anti-lock Braking System prevents wheel lock-up, thereby improving safety during sudden braking. 3. ABS malfunction light remains constantly illuminated: If the vehicle can still rely on conventional braking while driving, but the ABS warning light stays on, it indicates a fault in the ABS system. Professional diagnosis using specialized equipment is recommended to determine whether the issue lies with the tone wheel, sensors, wiring, or other components.

What Causes White Smoke from a Motorcycle Engine?

Motorcycles emitting white smoke is caused by the engine burning oil. Here are specific explanations about oil burning: 1. Hazards: Long-term oil burning will reduce engine oil volume, deteriorate the lubrication system, increase wear, and decrease cooling effectiveness, making the engine prone to overheating. The cleaning effect of oil on the engine will also worsen. 2. Inspection: Regularly check the engine oil level. After the vehicle has been stopped for a while, pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean with a tissue, reinsert it, then pull it out again. The level should be between MIN and MAX to be normal; after starting, observe whether the exhaust emits blue smoke and check if there is any blue oil residue in the exhaust pipe.

Haojue: Choosing Between Chain Drive or Pushrod Engine?

Haojue chooses chain drive. Here are the relevant details: Chain drive predominates: Haojue 150 models equipped with pushrod engines are likely quite rare, and currently none are available. Haojue models primarily feature chain-driven engines. Advantages: The main benefits of chain drive lie in smoother operation with minimal vibration, fluid acceleration, and higher top speeds. In contrast, pushrod engines excel in strong burst power, simple structure, and easy maintenance, but their significant drawback is excessive vibration which reduces user experience and riding comfort. Haojue's extensive use of chain-driven engines prioritizes stable performance and reduced vibration, making chain drive the preferable choice for vehicles ridden on flat terrain.
