Under normal conditions, the resistance value is approximately 2-3 kiloohms at 20°C and about 0.4-0.7 kiloohms at 80°C. If the measurement results do not meet the specified requirements, the sensor should be replaced. When the intake air temperature sensor installed in the air flow sensor is damaged, the air flow sensor should be replaced. Below is relevant information about the sensor: 1. Check the power supply voltage. Remove the intake air temperature sensor wiring harness connector, turn on the ignition switch, and measure the power supply voltage of the intake air temperature sensor, which should be 5V. 2. Measure the input signal voltage. Set the ignition switch to the ON position, use the voltage range of a multimeter to measure the voltage between THA and E2 of the ECU in the diagram. This voltage should be within the range of 0.5~3.4V (at 20℃). If it is not within the specified range, further check whether the intake air temperature sensor connection circuit has poor contact or open/short circuit faults. 3. Check the resistance of the intake air temperature sensor wiring harness. Use the resistance range of a digital multimeter to measure the resistance between the sensor connector and the ECU connector terminals, i.e., the resistance between the sensor signal terminal, ground terminal, and the corresponding ECU terminals. If there is no continuity or the resistance value is greater than 1Ω, it indicates poor contact in the sensor connection circuit or connector, and further inspection is required.

How to Check the Required Tire Pressure from the Tire?

From the side of the tire, you can see the required inflation pressure, which is located on both sides of the outer tire. The methods to check the car tire pressure index are: 1. Vehicle user manual; 2. Label near the B-pillar of the driver's door; 3. Drawer next to the driver's seat; 4. Fuel tank cap door. The standard tire pressure for car tires is: 1. Standard tires: 2.4 to 2.5 bar; 2. Reinforced tires: 2.8 to 2.9 bar; 3. Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. The methods to detect tire pressure are: 1. Direct tire pressure monitoring; 2. Indirect tire pressure monitoring; 3. Tire intelligent monitoring system.

What does an exclamation mark inside a bracket indicate as a warning light?

An exclamation mark inside a bracket is the brake system warning light, indicating a malfunction in the braking system that requires immediate inspection and repair. The automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the vehicle to enforce braking. Reasons for the illumination of the brake system warning light include: 1. Severe wear of brake pads; 2. Low brake fluid level; 3. Abnormalities in the braking system; 4. Failure of the parking brake. The functions of the automotive braking system are: 1. Ensuring the vehicle decelerates or stops as required by the driver; 2. Ensuring the vehicle is reliably parked; 3. Safeguarding the safety of the vehicle and the driver.

When should the Touran L have its engine oil changed?

The engine oil replacement cycle for the Touran L is every 5,000 kilometers or three months. These two maintenance indicators should be determined based on the vehicle's usage conditions, whichever comes first. Since the Touran is equipped with a turbocharged engine, it is recommended to use 5W-30 full synthetic oil, which provides relatively better performance and a longer oil change interval. The method for changing the engine oil is as follows: 1. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature. Then use a jack to lift the vehicle, engage the handbrake, and secure the front wheels with wooden wedges. 2. Place an old oil container under the oil pan, locate the oil pan drain plug, and slowly loosen it, being careful not to come into contact with the hot oil. Allow the oil to drain for a while. Inspect the drain plug, then reinstall it, ensuring not to overtighten it to avoid damaging the oil pan. 3. Move the oil container under the oil filter, use an oil filter wrench to loosen the filter, and remove it by hand. 4. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new filter. 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan. A funnel can be used to prevent spilling oil on the engine exterior. Check for leaks under the engine. If there are no leaks, lower the vehicle, check the oil dipstick, and start the engine. After starting, the indicator light on the dashboard should turn off immediately. Finally, turn off the engine and recheck the oil level to complete the process.

What does the dashboard message 'Check Emission System' mean?

The dashboard displaying 'Check Emission System' indicates a fault in the exhaust system that requires inspection. Causes of emission system failure include: 1. Excessive spark plug gap; 2. Incorrect resistance value in distributor wires; 3. Malfunction of oxygen sensor or carbon canister solenoid valve; 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle or engine interior. Hazards of emission system failure are: 1. Leads to excessive carbon accumulation; 2. Compromises driving safety and reduces engine lifespan; 3. Causes engine overheating, leading to sintering or detachment of the catalytic converter substrate and increased exhaust resistance; 4. Exceeds harmful emission standards.
