The solutions for a damaged controller are: 1. Check the power management circuit, use a multimeter to measure whether the output voltage at each point is correct, and replace any damaged components; 2. Check the interface with external functional components; 3. Check whether the main chip is damaged; 4. Check the power tube drive circuit. The controller is a command device that changes the wiring of the main circuit or control circuit and the resistance value in the circuit according to a predetermined sequence to control the motor's start, speed regulation, braking, and reverse. If the controller is damaged, the vehicle may not be able to move or may experience weak movement, leading to difficulty in starting and pushing the vehicle.

I once encountered a situation where the controller was faulty. At that time, the car drove strangely, with power surging up and down, and occasionally stalling. I guess controller issues are usually caused by circuit short circuits, unstable voltage, or aging. First, don't panic, find a safe place to pull over, and turn on the hazard lights to alert other drivers. Then check the fuse box to see if the fuse related to the controller is blown; try replacing it with a new one, but avoid touching the contacts with metal tools. If that doesn't help, inspect the connector plugs for looseness or signs of corrosion, and clean them carefully. When driving normally, try to avoid excessive bumps or exposure to rain, as these can accelerate controller damage. If you really can't figure it out, don't hesitate to go to a repair shop—they have diagnostic tools to check error codes, and professional replacement is the safest bet. Avoid disassembling things yourself to prevent damaging other components and wasting money. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to take a quick look at the controller's condition—prevention is better than cure.

Do New Cars Not Need a Break-in Period?

New cars definitely require a break-in period. Even for the same model, manufactured under identical processes and standards with the same components, each vehicle will still have assembly variations due to different environments, timing, and temperatures. Manufacturing and assembly tolerances are unavoidable, so the break-in process aims to minimize discrepancies between moving parts and bring the vehicle to its optimal operating condition. Here's relevant information: 1. Speed during break-in: Generally, it's advisable not to exceed 80 km/h within the first 500 km, 100 km/h at 1,000 km, and 120 km/h between 1,000-1,500 km to facilitate engine break-in. 2. Engine RPM: The break-in isn't solely about speed but also involves engine revolutions. Typically, maintaining 2,000-4,000 RPM during this period is appropriate. Consistently driving at extremely low speeds or undertaking long high-speed journeys during break-in offers little benefit and may even cause component stress cracks or other detrimental effects.

How is the power of the Corolla Hybrid?

The Corolla Hybrid is equipped with an upgraded 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine. Thanks to the electric motor, it not only maintains driving performance but also improves actual fuel economy. The hybrid system allows the gasoline engine and electric motor to work in synergy, fully utilizing the advantages of each power source and efficiently controlling output distribution, thereby achieving high acceleration performance, quietness, low fuel consumption, and low emissions simultaneously. Overall, the power performance is quite good. Here are the specific details about the new Corolla: 1. Meaning of Corolla: The new Corolla, also known as New-Corolla, features a trapezoidal front-face design in its 11th generation, aiming to bring happiness and joy to everyone in the world. 2. Exterior Design: The 11th-generation Corolla adopts a trapezoidal front-face architecture, with the Toyota emblem at the center. The front grille and headlights extend to both sides and slightly curve upward, fully embodying Toyota's Keen-look family design style, delivering a striking and sharp appearance. 3. Dimensions: To meet the space demands of Chinese consumers, the new Corolla's wheelbase has been extended to 2700mm, and the rear legroom has been increased by 75mm to 960mm, providing more spacious seating for rear passengers. 4. Powertrain: An 8-speed S-CVT transmission with a manual mode, specifically developed for the Chinese market, offers a smoother driving experience for the new Corolla. It also introduces a sport mode for enhanced driving pleasure. Additionally, the upgraded dual VVT-i engine and F1 aerodynamic guide fin design further improve fuel efficiency.

Why does the engine shake at idle but not when accelerating?

Reasons for engine shaking at idle but not while driving: 1. Leakage in intake pipes and valves: Common issues include cracked intake manifolds or poor intake manifold sealing. When the air supply system leaks, the engine control unit receives inaccurate intake air volume signals, leading to misjudgment and causing unstable engine idle. 2. Excessive carbon buildup on valves and intake pipes: Since carbon deposits can absorb a certain amount of fuel, the engine control unit makes incorrect judgments. For example, if the computer controls the injection of 100 units of air-fuel mixture, but only 90 units actually enter the cylinder (10 units absorbed by carbon deposits), even if the remaining 90 units burn completely, the required power output won't be achieved, resulting in shaking. 3. Malfunction of idle control sensors and circuits: For instance, when the idle switch fails to close, the engine control unit mistakenly assumes the engine is under partial load, leading to incorrect air intake control. Issues like delayed response or sticking of the idle air control valve due to oil contamination or carbon buildup, or incomplete closing of the throttle valve, prevent the engine control unit from making accurate idle adjustments. Additionally, malfunctions in sensors such as the intake air temperature sensor, air flow sensor, coolant temperature sensor, or short circuits/open circuits in their circuits can all cause unstable engine idle. 4. Ignition system: Generally, spark plugs are a major component contributing to unstable engine idle. If a spark plug fails to ignite, it directly affects cylinder combustion, resulting in uneven power output among cylinders and consequently unstable engine idle.

Can I Reapply for a Car Loan After Being Rejected?

You can reapply for a car loan immediately after being rejected once, but the result may still be a rejection. Since your personal qualifications remain unchanged with consecutive applications, you may still fail to meet the requirements. It is recommended to wait for three months before reapplying after a rejection. During these three months, you can work on improving your personal credit and reducing personal debt to meet the application criteria. Below are the two main reasons for car loan rejection: 1. Poor credit history of the applicant. To apply for a car loan, it is essential to ensure there are no serious blemishes on your credit record in the past two years. If the applicant currently has overdue records, the car loan application will definitely be rejected. Banks also examine the borrower's debt situation; if the debt exceeds 50% of the monthly income, the application will also be rejected. 2. Insufficient repayment ability. Although the threshold for car loans is relatively low, a stable income is still required. Both banks and lending institutions are most concerned about the risk of not recovering the loans they issue. If the application materials indicate weak repayment ability, the likelihood of rejection is significantly higher.
