What is the reason for the speedometer not working?

Most of the time, it is due to a damaged speed sensor, which requires repair. Below are some related extended information: 1. Speedometer: It actually consists of two gauges. One is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. Traditional speedometers are mechanical. A typical mechanical odometer is connected to a flexible shaft, inside which there is a steel cable. The other end of the flexible shaft is connected to a gear in the transmission. The rotation of the gear drives the steel cable to rotate, which in turn rotates a magnet inside the speedometer's housing. 2. Odometer: The odometer is a digital instrument. It engages with the worm gear on the speedometer's drive shaft through the transmission gears of the counter drum, causing the counter drum to rotate. Its characteristic is that when the upper drum completes one full rotation, the lower drum rotates 1/10 of a turn. Like the speedometer, modern odometers also include electronic versions, which obtain mileage signals from speed sensors. The accumulated mileage data in electronic odometers is stored in non-volatile memory, allowing the data to be preserved even when there is no power.

What to Do When Car Rearview Mirrors Have Water on Rainy Days?

Solutions for water on car rearview mirrors on rainy days: 1. Install rearview mirror rain guards or covers; 2. Apply soap to the mirror: Rub a wet cloth with soap on the mirror, wait for it to dry, then gently wipe off any residue with a tissue; 3. Use a water repellent: The main component of water repellent is silicone oil, which changes the surface tension of water on the glass to prevent water from sticking to the rearview mirror; 4.

What is the reason for the engine warning light in a gasoline-to-LPG converted vehicle?

The reasons for the engine warning light illuminating in a gasoline-to-LPG converted vehicle are: 1. Oxygen sensor malfunction; 2. Excessive oxygen content in the exhaust, exceeding the ECU's adjustment range. The vehicle's engine was originally designed to run on gasoline, and after conversion to LPG, the engine warning light may illuminate. The engine is equipped with oxygen sensors around it, with these components installed before and after the three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe's front section. The oxygen sensor before the three-way catalytic converter is used to detect the oxygen content in the exhaust, and then the ECU adjusts the engine's air-fuel ratio based on the signal from this sensor. The oxygen sensor after the three-way catalytic converter primarily checks whether the three-way catalytic converter is functioning properly.

Can a car with a spare tire drive on the highway?

Generally, a car spare tire cannot be used on highways and is limited to a speed of 60km/h. Below is relevant information about why spare tires are not suitable for highway use: 1. Reason: A spare tire can only serve as a temporary replacement because it is relatively soft, with thinner sidewalls. Additionally, some spare tires may have tread patterns that differ from the other tires due to aging, posing certain risks. Therefore, it is best to promptly repair the regular tire and use it instead. 2. Recommendations: (1) If the replacement is not a full-size spare tire, it is advised to follow the instructions in the manual or the notes on the tire when driving. (2) If the replacement is a full-size spare tire and its specifications match those of the four regular tires, it can be used normally.
