What is the reason why the differential lock keeps flashing and cannot be turned off?

The differential lock keeps flashing due to a malfunction of the engine coolant level sensor, which is located on the coolant expansion tank cap. When the engine coolant level drops, the warning indicator light is activated. This switch is normally closed. Below is relevant information about the differential lock continuously flashing: 1. Engine coolant temperature sensor: This sensor is located on the coolant expansion tank cap. The resistance of the temperature sensor changes proportionally with the coolant temperature, and the sensor sends a modulated signal voltage to the dashboard to control the instrument. 2. Automobile differential: A mechanism that enables the left and right (or front and rear) drive wheels to rotate at different speeds, mainly composed of left and right axle gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier.

Recently, the differential lock light on my car kept flashing and couldn’t be turned off, ruining my whole night’s sleep. That day, I was driving off-road on a mountain trail and wanted to test the traction control function, but the indicator light went crazy and wouldn’t stop blinking. After searching online for hours, I found out it might be due to a stuck differential lock switch or a moisture-damaged sensor. I tried restarting the engine myself, but it didn’t help, so I had to take it to the repair shop. The mechanic said it was caused by poor wiring contact, leading to signal confusion. A reminder to everyone: the differential lock system is very delicate, especially when encountering flashing light issues during long trips—don’t push through it, get the circuit checked immediately. Regular car owners can try cleaning the switch port with a screwdriver first, but ultimately, it’s best left to professionals.

The roles of antifreeze are: 1. Providing anti-freeze protection for the engine against low-temperature environments; 2. Offering efficient heat dissipation; 3. Preventing the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block and cylinder head during cold winter parking. The components of antifreeze include: calcium chloride from inorganic substances, and methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, glycerin, lubricating oil, and purified water from organic substances.
