The car temperature control switch is located on the air conditioning control panel, while the temperature sensor is installed at the air intake position of the air conditioning system. The temperature control switch in a vehicle serves the function of temperature regulation, primarily for the air conditioning system. It controls the air conditioning compressor - when the set temperature (e.g. 25°C) is reached in the cabin, the compressor will shut off while the fan continues to operate. Therefore, the temperature control switch regulates the compressor rather than the fan. Symptoms of a faulty car temperature control switch include: the coolant temperature gauge needle pointing to the red zone during operation, flashing coolant temperature warning light, or even boiling; noticeable metallic knocking sounds during engine acceleration accompanied by power loss, flashing coolant warning light, and difficulty in engine shutdown.

Will warranty be denied if fuel injector cleaner is not added?

Not adding fuel injector cleaner will not result in warranty denial. Vehicle owners can choose to add fuel injector cleaner based on their needs, as it is not mandatory. Introduction to fuel injectors: Modern automotive fuel injectors are essentially simple solenoid valves. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates suction force that lifts the needle valve, opening the injection hole. Fuel is then sprayed at high speed through the annular gap between the needle valve head and the injection hole, forming a mist for better combustion. Classification of fuel injectors: Gasoline engine injectors are part of the electronic control system in gasoline engines, replacing the carburetor in carbureted gasoline engines. Automotive injectors mainly include: diesel injectors, gasoline injectors, and natural gas injectors. Some foreign manufacturers can now produce specialized hydrogen injectors.
