Crown engine immobilizer system failure is a computer hardware issue. It is recommended to unplug the various detection points of the computer board and then conduct a test drive. The engine immobilizer system, commonly known as the engine electronic anti-theft system, is an anti-theft system installed for the engine. The ignition key of the car contains an electronic chip, each with a fixed ID. When the ID of the key chip matches the ID on the engine side, the car will start. If they do not match, the car will automatically cut off the circuit, preventing the engine from starting. Method to deactivate the Crown engine immobilizer system: Insert the ignition key into the ignition switch. The stop ECU command receiving coil emits electromagnetic energy, which is received by the capacitor in the electronic chip, converted into electrical energy, and temporarily stored. This is used to transmit the key coding signal. After receiving the coding signal from the key, the receiving coil amplifies it through an amplifier and transmits it to the stop ECU. The stop ECU compares it with the pre-stored identification code in the storage area. If they match, the stop ECU sends a signal to the engine ECU to release the immobilizer system, allowing the engine to start.

Can You Turn Right on a Red Light?

There are two scenarios for turning right on a red light: 1. If it's a circular traffic signal, vehicles in the right-turn lane can proceed to turn right when the light is red, but they must not obstruct other vehicles with the right of way, as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the rear and right-side roads. 2. If it's an arrow-shaped right-turn signal, turning right is not allowed when the light is red. Some special intersections may have additional signs, and the instructions on these signs take precedence—they may prohibit right turns or allow them. If you're concerned about running a red light, you can check for traffic violations online, which are usually available for query within 3 to 5 days after the violation. Simply enter your license plate number and the last six digits of your engine number to check. Any fines must be paid within 15 days, otherwise a 3% late fee will accrue daily, up to a maximum of double the original fine. Additionally, unresolved violations can affect your annual vehicle inspection.

What to Do When You Lose Your Car Keys?

If you lose your car keys, the safest approach is to take the spare key to a 4S dealership and have the staff rematch the engine immobilizer system with a new key. For vehicles without an engine immobilizer function, the secure solution is to replace the entire lock cylinder and keys. Every car comes with a spare key, so you can continue using it if the original is lost, but be mindful of property security. With rapid advancements in electronic technology, many modern vehicles now feature transponder chip anti-theft technology integrated with the ECU engine control unit. When the owner starts the vehicle using a valid transponder key, the anti-theft system automatically verifies whether the key's ID code matches the one stored in the vehicle's security system. If the ID codes match perfectly, the system deactivates the immobilizer, allowing the engine to start normally.

How to Determine if the Clutch Master Cylinder is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the clutch master cylinder is faulty: 1. Check for oil stains on the exterior of the master cylinder and slave cylinder, as oil stains indicate leakage; 2. Observe the extension length of the slave cylinder push rod when depressing the clutch pedal. If the extension is insufficient, it suggests pressure loss, or if the push rod retracts when extended, it also indicates pressure loss. The clutch master cylinder is the component connected to the clutch pedal and linked to the clutch booster via a hydraulic line. Its function is to collect pedal travel information and, with the booster's assistance, disengage the clutch. When the driver presses the clutch pedal, the push rod moves the master cylinder piston, increasing hydraulic pressure, which travels through the hose to the slave cylinder, forcing the slave cylinder push rod to disengage and push the release bearing forward. When the driver releases the clutch pedal, the hydraulic pressure is relieved, and the release fork gradually returns to its original position under the action of the return spring, causing the clutch to re-engage.

Is the Liability Split 70-30 When a Left-Turning Vehicle Is Hit by a Straight-Going Vehicle While Almost Completing the Turn?

When a left-turning vehicle is hit by a straight-going vehicle while almost completing the turn, the liability is not always split 70-30, as traffic accidents can vary greatly. If the accident scenario is not entirely clear, the responsibility will ultimately be determined by the traffic police after investigating the actual circumstances. Following an on-site inspection, for complex traffic accidents, the traffic management department of the public security authority will issue a traffic accident liability determination report based on the actual situation. Traffic regulations stipulate: 1. When a straight-going vehicle is driving on the main road and a right-turning vehicle is preparing to merge from the auxiliary road, the straight-going vehicle on the main road has the right of way; 2. When a motor vehicle approaches an intersection without traffic signals, police direction, or traffic signs and markings, it should stop and observe before proceeding, then determine the right of way according to the following rules: yield to vehicles coming from the right, turning vehicles yield to straight-going vehicles, and right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning vehicles when traveling in opposite directions.

How to Determine if the Cylinder Head Gasket is Blown?

Methods to determine if the cylinder head gasket is blown: 1. Overheating; 2. No water leakage but water shortage; 3. Water mixing in the radiator, with rattling noises from the engine cylinders; 4. Deformation, elongation, or loosening of cylinder head bolts and nuts. When nuts or bolts loosen, the pressure on the joint surface becomes uneven, and high-pressure, high-temperature gases along with rapidly flowing coolant and lubricating oil continuously erode the cylinder head gasket, leading to gasket failure; 5. Abnormal operation of the engine cooling system, causing the engine to operate at high temperatures for extended periods, resulting in excessive heat exposure to the cylinder head gasket, loss of elasticity, and eventual erosion, leading to gasket damage and failure; 6. Use of substandard materials when selecting the cylinder head gasket; 7. Deformation of the joint surface between the cylinder block and cylinder head, causing the cylinder head gasket to be unevenly compressed, leading to air leakage and gasket burn-out; 8. Improper driving techniques, such as frequently slamming the accelerator, sudden acceleration, and high-speed operation, which increase pressure and accelerate gasket erosion.

Why is the photo on the electronic driver's license the same as the ID card photo?

Electronic driver's license uses the ID card photo because the first successful application will display the photo from the ID card. Application process for electronic driver's license: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, enter your account and password to log in; first-time users should click "Register" at the bottom to enter the registration page, fill in the required information as prompted, click "More," scroll down to the driver's license services section, find the "Electronic Driver's License" function, click to enter, then input the "Driver's License File Number" as prompted, and click "Register." After completing the registration, you will obtain the electronic driver's license. Usage scope of electronic driver's license: The electronic driver's license is still in the promotion phase and is not yet universally accepted nationwide. If you cannot obtain the WeChat electronic driver's license through the above method, you can consult customer service in the WeChat team to check if your location supports the WeChat electronic driver's license. Additionally, the WeChat electronic driver's license has regional limitations and may not be applicable in other areas.
