Oxygen sensors are actually divided into two types, front and rear, both installed at the position of the engine exhaust pipe. Taking the three-way catalytic converter as the boundary, the one before the three-way catalytic converter is the front oxygen sensor, and the one after is the rear oxygen sensor. The functions of the oxygen sensors are as follows: 1. The front oxygen sensor is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the engine exhaust gas, and then transmits the obtained information to the ECU in the form of an electrical signal. The ECU will use the oxygen concentration information to perform feedback control on the air-fuel ratio. 2. As for the rear oxygen sensor, it is mainly used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas after purification by the three-way catalytic converter. If the oxygen concentration data obtained by the front and rear oxygen sensors are the same, it indicates that the three-way catalytic converter has failed.

What does ESC stand for in cars?

ESC in cars stands for Electronic Stability Control system, also referred to as the Driving Safety Supplement System. It is an active safety device in vehicle configurations. ESC functions by compensating for vehicle stability when the car becomes extremely unstable (such as during rapid turns or lane changes), through the use of wheel brakes or controlling engine torque, thereby correcting the vehicle's instability and helping to prevent accidents. ESC consists of three main components: sensors, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. Its working principle involves the ECU monitoring the vehicle's operating status and intervening in the control of the engine and braking system. ESC primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle and automatically activates only when the vehicle is in an unstable condition.

Is a fuel consumption of 70-80 cents per kilometer considered high?

Not high. 8 liters of fuel means the vehicle consumes 8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Due to fluctuations in gasoline prices for different grades and at different times, it is impossible to give a direct answer. Assuming you use 95-octane gasoline and the current price is 7 yuan per liter, then 8 liters of gasoline for 100 kilometers would cost a total of 56 yuan. On average, that's 0.56 yuan per kilometer. Based on this calculation method, you can determine the fuel cost per kilometer according to the current actual gasoline price.

Why is the steering wheel particularly heavy?

The reasons for a particularly heavy car steering wheel are: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power steering system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. Solutions for a heavy car steering wheel include: 1. Replenishing hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replacing circuit fuses; 3. Replacing plain bearings and supplementing kingpin grease; 4. Increasing lubrication for the steering tie rod ball joints. The working principle of a car steering wheel is to transmit torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, dual-spoke, three-spoke, and four-spoke steering wheels.

Where to Buy Static Cling Stickers?

Generally speaking, static cling stickers are available in auto parts markets or online stores, with almost similar prices. However, it is best to purchase them through official channels, as there are many low-quality products circulating in the market. Not only is there no reliable guarantee in terms of quality, but the adhesive capability of these static cling stickers is also not very good. Therefore, to avoid such issues, it's important to be cautious. In fact, the principle of car static cling stickers is quite simple. They utilize the mutual attraction of positive and negative static charges, allowing them to easily adhere to surfaces like the car body and windshield. Compared to traditional adhesive tapes, car static cling stickers are not only more convenient to use but also leave no residue when removed, which is the main reason why they are so popular.
