The solutions for when the car indicates high transmission temperature are: 1. Pull the car over to the side and let the transmission temperature gradually decrease; 2. Check if the transmission's radiator fan is functioning properly and whether the coolant and transmission fluid are at the correct levels, replenishing them if necessary; 3. Inspect if the transmission cooler is working correctly and if the grille is clogged; 4. Once the transmission temperature returns to normal and the dashboard warning light turns off, you can continue driving. The reasons for the car indicating high transmission temperature are: 1. The engine operating for extended periods or under heavy load, raising the coolant temperature and affecting transmission cooling; 2. Insufficient coolant in the radiator, reducing the cooling system's effectiveness; 3. Slipping transmission clutch.

When the transmission temperature warning light came on while I was driving, my first reaction was to slow down, pull over, and turn off the engine. This issue is quite common and is often caused by problems with the cooling system, such as low coolant levels or a faulty fan. I checked the temperature gauge and looked under the car for any leaks, noticing that the fan wasn’t running. It’s important not to push through, especially when driving on highways or uphill, as overheating can cause serious damage. I regularly change the transmission fluid as prevention is key. It’s advisable to stop for half an hour to let the temperature drop, then drive slowly to the nearest repair shop. Carrying spare coolant is a good idea, and for long trips, having a tow rope is useful—if the problem persists, calling for roadside assistance is the safest option.

Last summer, my transmission reported overheating during a trip, which really scared me. I quickly drove to the service area, turned off the engine, and rested for 10 minutes. It might have been due to the trailer being too heavy or the fan getting stuck, so I tried opening the hood for ventilation. Insufficient transmission fluid can cause overheating, so I regularly check the dipstick to ensure the fluid level is normal. In such cases, drive slowly to the repair shop and avoid sudden acceleration. My personal habit is to change the transmission fluid every two years and regularly clean the radiator screen to prevent clogging. Remember, safety comes first—don't force driving when it's overheating, and it's more reassuring to have a friend help check it.

What Causes the Resonance Hum in the Cab?

The possible causes of resonance hum in the cab are as follows: 1. Whole vehicle resonance caused by the front axle: Excessive unbalance in brake drums or wheel hubs; Out-of-round brake drums. 2. Whole vehicle resonance caused by the rear (middle) axle: Out-of-round brake drums. 3. Whole vehicle resonance caused by engine mounts: Low bracket stiffness with significant elastic deformation; High hardness of mount cushions with large dynamic and static stiffness. 4. Whole vehicle resonance caused by the engine itself: Uneven fuel injection among engine cylinders, leading to incomplete combustion or non-operation in some cylinders; Large manufacturing tolerances of parts, with excessive unbalance in pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft flywheels, etc. 5. Whole vehicle resonance caused by the suspension system: Unreasonable matching of vibration frequencies between front and rear suspensions; Coupling of front spring natural frequency with the frame's inherent frequency.

What to Do When the Car Still Rolls After Engaging the Handbrake?

Solutions for when the car still rolls after engaging the handbrake: Tighten the handbrake cable. For manual transmission vehicles, you can press the clutch with your left foot, press the brake with your right foot, engage any forward gear, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine, using the gear's traction to prevent rolling. For automatic transmission vehicles, press the brake, shift to P (Park), engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine, utilizing the automatic transmission's P gear lock to prevent further rolling. More details are as follows: 1. If the handbrake suddenly fails or doesn't hold during normal use, it can be very dangerous, especially on steep slopes where sudden failure poses a greater risk. 2. Automatic transmission models are easier to operate; when in a forward gear, pressing the brake prevents rolling, and releasing the brake while quickly applying the throttle ensures the power is sufficient to move the vehicle forward.

Does the C2 have a clutch?

C2 does not have a clutch. Here is some extended information: 1. The difference between C1 and C2: A C2 driver's license only allows driving small and micro automatic passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles; A C1 driver's license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, light and micro special operation vehicles, low-speed cargo vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles. Moreover, the cost of obtaining a C1 license is cheaper. In summary, holders of a C1 license can drive automatic vehicles covered by a C2 license, but C2 license holders cannot drive manual vehicles covered by a C1 license. The C1 license allows driving a wider range of vehicle types. 2. The benefits of C2: Although the test subjects and procedures remain the same whether you are obtaining a C1 or C2 license, there are certain advantages due to the structural differences in the vehicles driven. Since automatic vehicles do not have a clutch pedal and do not require gear shifting, there is no need to worry about stalling the engine.

What are the requirements for upgrading from a B2 to a B1 driver's license?

The conditions for upgrading from a B2 to a B1 driver's license (B1 cannot be obtained directly but only through an upgrade) are: you must have held the B2 license for at least three years, have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before the application, and be between 21 and 50 years old. If these conditions are met, you can apply for a B1 medium-sized passenger vehicle license at the issuing authority. Documents required for upgrading from a B2 to a B1 driver's license: "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form"; Original and photocopy of identity proof; "Motor Vehicle Driver's Physical Condition Certificate" issued by a county-level or above hospital or a military medical institution at or above the regiment level; Eight 1-inch color headshots with a white background; For upgrade applications, the original motor vehicle driver's license must also be submitted; For applications submitted by driving school students, the training record issued by the school must also be submitted. Differences between B1 and B2 driver's licenses: Different permitted vehicle types; Different application requirements; Both B1 and B2 licenses must be applied for at the local vehicle management office in the applicant's registered residence.

What is the difference between AT and CVT

AT and CVT differ in the following aspects: 1. Principle: AT works by using a torque converter whose automatic shifting and torque variation range is insufficient, so several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to improve efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears according to the engine's working changes, achieving automatic shifting and torque variation. CVT's transmission pulley structure is quite unique, divided into movable left and right halves that can move closer or apart. The conical discs can tighten or expand under hydraulic thrust, squeezing the steel belt chain to adjust the width of the V-shaped groove. When the conical discs move inward to tighten, the steel belt chain is pushed outward from the center, and vice versa. This changes the diameter of the disc driven by the steel belt chain, altering the transmission ratio. 2. Usage: AT does not require clutch shifting, has fewer gears but significant changes, and connects smoothly, making it easy to operate. It provides convenience for the driver and comfort for passengers. CVT, lacking the transmission gears of a typical automatic transmission, eliminates the shifting process and the associated jerky sensation. Therefore, CVT transmissions deliver linear power output, offering a very smooth driving experience.

What is the normal high pressure for a car air conditioner?

The normal high pressure for a car air conditioner should be 1.3-1.7MPa (13-17kg/cm2 or 190-250Lbf/in2); the normal low pressure should be between 0.15-0.25MPa (1.5-2.5kg/cm2 or 20-35Lbf/in2). 1. Car air conditioning system: The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the vehicle. It provides a comfortable environment for passengers, reduces driver fatigue, and improves driving safety. The air conditioning system has become one of the indicators of a car's functionality. 2. Disadvantages of car air conditioning: When the air conditioner is turned on, it is best for passengers not to smoke in the car. Since the air inside the vehicle circulates in a relatively enclosed environment when the air conditioner is on, first, the smoke is not easily dispersed, and second, the tiny particles in the smoke can adhere to the air intake filter of the air conditioner, causing long-lasting odors in the car. Regular professional cleaning and deodorizing maintenance of the air conditioning system is recommended.
