The reason is a decrease in the engine's power performance. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Specific reasons: The main cause is excessive carbon deposits in the throttle or inside the engine, leading to an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture ratio. When the engine control unit detects signals that affect emission requirements, the fault light will illuminate. Another issue could be fuel quality; poor fuel quality accelerates carbon deposit formation, which might be causing the engine emission system fault. It is recommended to disassemble the intake tract to check for excessive carbon deposits. 2. Effects: Increased fuel consumption: More fuel is consumed, and over time, poor combustion leads to more carbon deposits. Reduced safety: Decreases the safety during vehicle operation and shortens the engine's service life. Poor exhaust flow: Causes sintering and peeling of the three-way catalytic converter substrate, increasing exhaust resistance. Inaccurate fuel injection: Leads to inaccurate fuel injection control by the engine control unit.

I've been driving the Roewe i5 for several years, and when the emission fault light comes on, it's usually due to sensor issues. The oxygen sensor is the most common culprit—it monitors the oxygen levels in the exhaust, and if it gets dirty or fails, it gives inaccurate readings, triggering false emission warnings. The catalytic converter might also be clogged, leading to ineffective exhaust treatment, or the EGR system valve could be stuck, affecting exhaust gas recirculation. Sometimes, poor fuel quality, a faulty mass airflow sensor, or aging ignition coils can also trigger similar alerts. My advice is to first connect an OBD diagnostic tool to read the fault codes and pinpoint the exact cause. Don't attempt DIY repairs—take it to a professional repair shop immediately. Unresolved emission faults can lead to excessive exhaust emissions, affecting your annual inspection, increasing fuel consumption, and even causing engine misfires or major issues.

Should You Start the Engine in P Gear or N Gear with One-Button Start?

You can start the engine in either P gear or N gear with one-button start, but using N gear is comparatively better. This is because when starting the engine in P gear (Parking gear), the gear lever has to pass through R gear (Reverse gear). Even though you have the brake pedal pressed, the automatic transmission still undergoes a disengagement and engagement of the gear, increasing wear and tear. Below is an introduction to car gear positions: 1. P gear stands for Parking gear, used when the vehicle is parked. 2. D gear stands for Drive gear, used when the vehicle is moving forward. 3. R gear stands for Reverse gear, used when the vehicle is moving backward. 4. N gear stands for Neutral gear, used during towing or temporary stops. 5. S gear is for Sport mode. 6. M gear is for Manual mode.

What Happens When There Is Too Much Transmission Fluid?

Excessive transmission fluid can lead to the following issues: 1. Gear Shift Impact: Overfilling transmission fluid often introduces more air into the system. In severe cases, this can cause air blockage in the drain holes of the control valve, leading to poor drainage and resulting in gear shift impact. 2. Inadequate Oil Pressure: High fluid levels cause rotating components to come into contact with the oil, creating agitation. This easily introduces air bubbles into the fluid. When this aerated fluid enters the oil pump, it becomes difficult for the pump to maintain the required oil pressure. 3. Oil Leakage: Excess transmission fluid causes rotating components to contact the oil during vehicle operation. High-temperature, high-speed rotating parts can lead to fluid expansion and boiling, resulting in oil leakage. 4. Transmission Performance Issues: Overfilling transmission fluid can also negatively impact the transmission's efficiency and cooling capabilities.

How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Volvo?

The method to turn off the rear wiper on a Volvo: First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the engine; otherwise, the wiper cannot be turned off. Then, locate the wiper switch at the illustrated position on the right side of the steering wheel. Move the wiper lever to the illustrated position to turn it off. Press the button at the top of the wiper lever to deactivate it. Below is some information about wipers: 1. Most vehicle models have the wiper control located on the lever behind the right side of the steering wheel, typically in a lever-style design. The wiper lever is marked with various function symbols. Although the symbols and their positions may vary between brands, the functions are generally similar. 2. Some vehicle models allow adjustment of the automatic intermittent wiper operation frequency, enabling the wiper speed to vary based on vehicle speed—when the wiper lever is set to the "automatic intermittent" position, the wiper will adjust its frequency according to the set speed. There are two main types of frequency adjustment mechanisms: toggle-style and rotary knob-style.

What Could Be the Reason When the Car Shows No Response at All When Starting?

No response when inserting the key to start the car may be caused by a depleted car battery or issues with the car's ignition system. Here is the relevant information: 1. First, check the car battery. It is likely that the car battery has been completely discharged. In this case, you need to find an external power source to jump-start the car. If the car can be started through jump-starting, it indicates that the battery is depleted. After charging the battery, check its lifespan. 2. You should also inspect the car's ignition system to see if there is power in the live wire entering the ignition switch. If there is power, it means the ignition switch is functioning normally; if there is no power, it indicates a faulty ignition switch. 3. The car's steering wheel might have been accidentally locked, which can also prevent the car from starting. In this situation, place one hand on the steering wheel and turn the car key back and forth with the other hand. The car should start quickly. This is not a malfunction but simply a locked steering wheel.
