Solutions for when the car shows a tire pressure system malfunction: First, get out of the car and check to confirm the tires are in normal condition with no signs of air leakage; Remove the key and reinsert it to restart the car; If the tire pressure monitoring still doesn't work, start the car and drive at low speed for about five to six minutes, and in most cases, the tire pressure will be displayed; Disconnect the car battery's negative terminal for a few minutes, then reconnect it, and after inserting the key and resetting the central control, the tire pressure should display normally; If the car has driven through water and the tires have taken in water, causing the tire pressure monitor's battery to short-circuit and fail to supply power normally, cleaning it thoroughly should resolve the issue; If the battery is dead, replacing it will solve the problem. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep," then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard's warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset.

What are the causes of ignition coil damage?

The causes of ignition coil damage are: 1. The engine is not running, and the ignition switch remains on for a long time; 2. The engine overheats, causing the insulation paint and adhesive of the coil to melt and fail; 3. The spark plug electrode gap is too large, increasing the load on the ignition coil and causing the high-voltage coil to break down, resulting in a short circuit or open circuit; 4. The high-voltage wire is broken, leaving the generated high-voltage electricity with no path to flow, which easily causes the high-voltage coil to break down. The method for replacing the ignition coil is: 1. Open the ignition coil cover on the top of the engine and use a pentagon wrench to remove the ignition coil fixing screws; 2. Disconnect the ignition coil power plug, gently pry it up with a screwdriver, and remove the ignition coil; 3. Install the new ignition coil, tighten the screws, and reconnect the power plug.

What Causes Oil Emulsification in the 4a91 Engine?

4a91 engine oil emulsification is primarily caused by the contact of oil with water or water vapor. Here are some additional details: 1. This issue of engine oil emulsification is more commonly encountered in low-temperature regions. 2. The engine also has an important component called the oil-gas separator, whose function is to separate oil and gas. It mainly separates engine oil and some oil vapors, water vapor, etc. Vehicles experiencing oil emulsification have more efficient oil-gas separators, which are more likely to separate water vapor, increasing the likelihood of oil emulsification. Extended Content: The solution to engine oil emulsification is to avoid short-distance driving in winter and to avoid low-speed driving. When engine components do not reach the required temperature in a short time, water vapor is more likely to come into contact with the oil, forming emulsions. After winter, replace the engine oil immediately to avoid moisture in the oil reducing lubrication effectiveness.

What is the difference between DOHC and SOHC?

Engine DOHC and SOHC have the following main differences: 1. SOHC: Single Overhead Camshaft performs well in city driving with strong low-end torque, fuel efficiency, simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and low maintenance cost. However, it lacks sufficient power reserve at high speeds. 2. DOHC: Double Overhead Camshaft delivers strong high-end power, high emission efficiency, and is suitable for high-speed driving. It has a complex structure, high manufacturing cost, and high maintenance expenses. Here is an introduction to DOHC and SOHC: 1. SOHC engine refers to an intake system that uses a single overhead camshaft, meaning one intake valve and one exhaust valve. 2. DOHC engine refers to an intake system that uses double overhead camshafts, typically with multiple valves per cylinder, commonly 4 valves (i.e., 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves).

What are the reasons for the engine oil pressure warning light to illuminate?

The reasons for the engine oil pressure warning light to illuminate are: 1. Insufficient oil level: Low oil reserve in the oil pan, air trapped in the oil pump preventing oil from being pumped, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 2. Low oil viscosity: The higher the oil viscosity, the higher the oil pressure, and vice versa; 3. Clogged oil passages: Oil passages blocked by sludge or other foreign objects, resulting in lower oil pressure. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide cushioning and shock absorption for the engine. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of lubricating oil, determining its fundamental properties; additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, imparting new characteristics, making them an essential part of lubricating oil.

How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Engine Oil Be Changed?

Generally, a car's engine oil should be changed every 5,000 kilometers. Below are the specific steps for changing the engine oil: 1. Warm up the car before changing the oil: Start the vehicle and let the engine reach normal operating temperature, then turn off the engine. The purpose of warming up the car is to allow the oil to flow fully and carry out impurities. Use a jack to lift the vehicle and engage the handbrake. 2. Drain the old oil: Use the vehicle's tools to loosen the oil drain plug on the oil pan and drain the oil. Be sure to collect the old oil in a container to avoid environmental pollution. Once the oil is completely drained, reinstall the drain plug, being careful not to overtighten it to prevent damage to the oil pan. 3. Install the new oil filter: Use an oil filter wrench to loosen the old filter. Apply new oil to the seal of the new filter, then manually install the new oil filter and tighten it with the tool. 4. Add new oil: Pour the new oil into the oil filler port, using a funnel if necessary. After adding the oil, check for any leaks. If there are no issues, remove the jack and lower the vehicle. Use the dipstick to confirm the oil level, then restart the vehicle to check if any warning lights come on.
