What is the working principle of an oil pressure sensor?

The working principle of an oil pressure sensor is: 1. The amplified pressure signal is transmitted through a signal wire to the oil pressure gauge, altering the current ratio between the two coils inside the gauge to indicate the engine's oil pressure; 2. The pressure signal, after voltage and current amplification, is also compared with the preset alarm voltage in the alarm circuit. When the signal falls below the alarm voltage, the alarm circuit outputs an alarm signal and illuminates the warning light via the alarm wire. Solutions for excessively high oil pressure include: 1. Adjusting the clearance between the shaft neck and bearing in pressure-lubricated areas; 2. Cleaning the oil pipes and passages, and maintaining the filter; 3. Selecting the appropriate oil grade; 4. Replacing the oil with one of suitable viscosity; 5. Inspecting and adjusting the pressure relief valve on an oil pump test bench to ensure the oil pressure meets specified requirements.

How wide is 30 centimeters in the rearview mirror?

30 centimeters in the rearview mirror is roughly the width of two fingers. When taking the driving test, there are some tips and methods to determine the 30-centimeter distance in the rearview mirror: 1. Observe the wiper protrusion: From the driver's seat, when the wiper protrusion aligns with the right-side line, the distance is approximately 30 centimeters. 2. Look at the one-third point of the car's front: When the right one-third of the car's front aligns with the right-side line, the distance is exactly 30 centimeters. It might be difficult to find this one-third point, as it may not always be the same spot. During practice, you can mark this point on the car and remove the mark once you get used to it. 3. Check the right front door handle: Observe the right front door handle in the right rearview mirror. If the handle is tangent to the right-side line, the distance is correct. If it's too far, adjust the direction slightly. If it's too close, there's a risk of crossing the line.

What are the pros and cons of modifying a 300-cell header?

Pros and cons of modifying a 300-cell header: 1. Pros: Smoother exhaust flow, strong high-RPM horsepower. Exhaust modifications come in various forms, with many aimed solely at achieving a pleasing sound. More professional modifications involve adjusting the exhaust to better match engine upgrades, allowing the engine to perform at its peak. 2. Cons: Direct exhaust emissions fail to meet standards. Most modified straight-pipe exhaust systems suffer from weak low-RPM performance, increased noise, and excessively loud volume. Untreated exhaust emissions exceed limits, causing severe pollution, unpleasant odors that can enter the cabin, and higher fuel consumption.

What does it mean when a car boils over?

Car boil-over typically refers to a situation where the engine's operating temperature exceeds the normal working temperature range, affecting machine operation and potentially causing damage. Below are relevant explanations about car boil-over: 1. Causes of boil-over: There are many reasons for car boil-over. Besides hot weather, overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components can also cause boil-over. Conducting a comprehensive inspection of the car's cooling system is the primary method to prevent boil-over. 2. Avoid immediately opening the cap to add water when boil-over occurs: After the radiator water boils, there is internal pressure. If the radiator cap is opened immediately at this time, hot water may spray out, causing burns. Therefore, car owners must avoid opening the cap to add water right after boil-over occurs.

Why doesn't the car horn sound when locking with the key?

Here are the reasons why the locking horn doesn't sound: 1. Poor sealing leading to water ingress: If the seal isn't tight, water vapor can easily enter during car washing, causing the contacts to become damp and malfunction. 2. Poor contact at the electromagnetic coil terminal: If the insulation paint on the enameled wire ends isn't completely removed, or if the rivet crimping is loose, intermittent connection may occur, resulting in the horn not sounding. This type of fault can only be resolved by replacement, not repair. 3. Prolonged horn use causing contact erosion: Holding down the horn for extended periods can cause contact erosion and create impedance. This weakens the current passing through the electromagnetic coil, preventing it from attracting the armature to drive the diaphragm's normal vibration, leading to the horn not sounding. However, when the horn is pressed repeatedly, momentary strong current can still pass through the impedance and function normally, which is why the horn may work intermittently.

Is a mock test necessary for Subject 3?

Subject 3 requires a mock test, but it is not mandatory. Related introduction: 1. Brief description: Subject 3, including the road driving skill test and the safe and civilized driving knowledge test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skill and safe and civilized driving knowledge test subjects in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the road driving skill test varies for different types of driving licenses. 2. Expansion: The road driving skill test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, light simulation test, starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, parking by the roadside, going straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.

How Do Insurance Companies Compensate for Flood-Damaged Cars? How Much Do They Pay?

Insurance companies will compensate for flood-damaged cars based on different situations. Below are the compensation scenarios for flood-damaged cars under various circumstances: 1. Car submerged while parked: If the car is submerged while parked and the owner has previously purchased auto damage insurance, the insurance will cover the compensation. If the car is damaged by falling objects or power poles during heavy rain or while floating, these are all covered under the auto damage insurance. 2. Car submerged while driving with a secondary start: If the car stalls due to being submerged while driving through water and the owner attempts a secondary start, regardless of whether the old version of water damage insurance (before the insurance reform on September 19, 2020) or the new version of auto damage insurance was purchased, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation for engine damage caused by this.
