Changan Eado V3 body control module is located directly above the driver's left foot. Introduction: Changan Eado V3 is a classic sedan launched by Changan Automobile in 2012. It made its debut at the 2011 Guangzhou Auto Show. Due to its slightly lower positioning than the Eado, it was officially named Eado V3 in 2012. Its main competitors are models such as Xiali N5, Antelope, and New Sail. This model is currently in production at the Hafei Automobile factory. On June 20, 2012, Changan Automobile's newly developed entry-level three-box family sedan, the Eado V3, was officially launched in Shijiazhuang. Power: In terms of power, the Changan Eado V3 adopts Changan Automobile's efficient and low-consumption C13 all-aluminum engine, with a maximum torque of 121N·m and a maximum power of 69KW, leading in its class. The C13 engine uses multi-point electronic fuel injection control. Through collaboration with world-class suppliers such as Delphi, Faurecia, Gates, and Leyden, it has achieved optimal fuel quantity control technology, optimizing the vehicle's power and fuel economy. The comprehensive fuel consumption in urban conditions is only 5.6L/100km.

I found that the body control module of the Changan Alsvin V3 is usually installed near the driver's side under the dashboard, specifically on the left side of the footwell area. You need to remove a small plastic panel to access it. As someone with years of car repair experience, I often help people deal with this issue; that location is close to the steering wheel and center console, making it convenient for wiring connections and controlling functions like lights, windows, and doors. If you're trying to locate it yourself, remember to first turn off the power, wear gloves to avoid scratches, and preferably use a multimeter to check for loose or corroded connection points. Sometimes fuse-related issues may occur as well, as it's positioned near the fuse box. If you can't find it, don't force removal - it's safer to take photos and seek online advice or visit a 4S shop directly. The body control module is a core vehicle component, and improper handling may cause headlight failures or door lock malfunctions.

I've been driving a Changan Yuexiang V3 for several years. Once, I encountered an issue where the door lock wouldn't open, so I decided to look for the body control module myself. It's located under the dashboard near the driver's left foot. I had to feel around for quite a while before discovering it hidden behind a black plastic cover. The controller manages the doors and windows, and its position is quite concealed, probably to protect it from dust. During the inspection, I found that the connector was loose, and simply plugging it back in fixed the issue. For new car owners, it's advisable to first check the manual diagrams or record a short video to ask for help. If this part breaks, it can be troublesome, so avoid getting it wet or handling it with wet hands. Its fixed position is helpful for maintenance but also makes it prone to dust accumulation, so regular cleaning is necessary. After disassembling it twice myself, I found it's not too difficult, but you need to be careful not to damage the wires.

Is it safe to drive with the sunroof open on the highway?

It is not safe to drive with the sunroof open on the highway. Driving with windows open on the highway poses significant safety risks. Here are the reasons why it is not recommended to open windows while driving on the highway: 1. Increased fuel consumption: At high speeds, the car's streamlined design effectively reduces wind resistance. However, opening the windows disrupts the airtightness, leading to increased air resistance and consequently higher fuel consumption. 2. Increased noise: Opening the windows at high speeds significantly increases wind noise, reducing comfort. 3. Interior gets dirty: Driving with windows open on the highway naturally makes the interior/roof lining more susceptible to dust accumulation. 4. Increased risk of accidents: The typical speed on highways is around 120 km/h, and many drivers store luggage or tools in the trunk. Strong winds from open windows can cause imbalance, leading to traffic accidents.

Do Sedans Have a Radiator and Need Water Refill?

Sedans do have a radiator and require water refill. Generally, when a car is low on coolant, water is added as a temporary solution. Precautions for adding water to a new car are as follows: 1. Do not use ordinary water as a substitute for coolant; 2. Avoid mixing coolants of different colors and specifications; 3. When using coolants from different brands, try to drain the original coolant from the cooling system thoroughly; 4. Regardless of high or low temperatures, coolant should be used for the efficiency and longevity of the cooling system; 5. Tap water contains many substances that can easily cause rust and scale buildup. Coolant, on the other hand, can lower temperatures, regulate heat, and is less prone to deterioration and chemical reactions.

Why is the temperature gauge normal when the thermostat is broken?

Thermostat damage temperature gauge normal reason is thermostat protection water temperature does not drop: The following is the relevant content introduction: 1. The working principle of the thermostat: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator according to the temperature of the cooling water, changes the circulation range of the water, and adjusts the heat dissipation capacity of the cooler to ensure that the engine works within a suitable temperature range. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition, otherwise it will seriously affect the normal operation of the engine. 2. The role of the thermostat: to prevent the engine from being too cold. After the engine is working normally, when driving at high speed in winter, if there is no thermostat, the engine temperature may be too low. The engine needs to temporarily terminate the water circulation to ensure that the engine temperature is not too low.

Is the Jetour X70 equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission?

Jetour X70 is equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission. Working principle of dry dual-clutch transmission: It uses two clutches to work alternately. The difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in the medium connecting the driving plate and the driven plate. Wet dual-clutch transmissions mainly rely on oil, while dry dual-clutch transmissions primarily depend on air. Basic structure of dry dual-clutch transmission: The friction plates of dry dual-clutch transmissions do not have sealed oil grooves and require air cooling for heat dissipation. Advantages and disadvantages of dry dual-clutch transmission: The advantage of dry dual-clutch transmission is fast gear shifting, while the disadvantage is its relatively low torque capacity.
