2 Answers
Here are the solutions when the FAW J6 doesn't respond to turning the key: 1. Change the engine oil: Check if the engine oil and coolant are sufficient. Consider replacing the engine oil with one suitable for the current temperature conditions. 2. Clean the engine: Inspect the generator for any abnormalities and the condition of the carbon brushes. If necessary, it is recommended to clean the engine or adjust the fuel pump. 3. Professional repair: If the issue is with the electronically controlled fuel injection engine, seek professional repair services. Below is an introduction to the FAW J6 truck: The FAW J6 truck is a commercial vehicle developed by FAW Jiefang Automotive Co., Ltd. It is equipped with an electronically controlled engine, ECAS electronically controlled four-airbag air suspension, ABS, and ASR advanced braking technologies, making it suitable for long-distance highway transportation and special goods transport.
This is quite common in our veteran driver circles. Having driven trucks for decades, my first reaction when the key won't start is to check the battery - power loss is the most frequent culprit. First see if dashboard lights come on - if completely dark, there's an 80% chance it's a dead battery, either from prolonged parking drain or alternator failure. Then test the headlights; if dim, that confirms it. Loose or corroded battery terminals can also cause poor contact - clean and tighten them. If that fails, check the starter motor - could be gear jamming or wire corrosion. For safety, don't disassemble randomly; get help for push-starting or visit a professional shop for voltage/circuit tests. Cold weather worsens such failures - regular battery maintenance prevents headaches. Always inspect terminals and charge status pre-trip.
