Circuit boards refer to the computers in modern vehicles. Contemporary cars contain numerous computers, ranging from as few as 3-4 to as many as 4510, installed in various parts of the vehicle body. Below is relevant information about circuit boards: 1. Circuit Boards Circuit boards are also known by various names: ceramic circuit boards, alumina ceramic circuit boards, aluminum nitride ceramic circuit boards, printed wiring boards, PCB boards, aluminum substrate boards, high-frequency boards, thick copper boards, impedance boards, PCBs, ultra-thin printed wiring boards, ultra-thin circuit boards, printed (copper etching technology) circuit boards, etc. Circuit boards enable circuit miniaturization and visualization, playing a crucial role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layouts. 2. Classification Printed wiring boards are categorized by the number of layers into three main types: single-sided boards, double-sided boards, and multi-layer boards. First, single-sided boards: on the most basic PCBs, components are concentrated on one side, while the wiring is on the other side. Since the wiring appears only on one side, these PCBs are called single-sided boards. Single-sided boards are usually simple to manufacture and low-cost, but their drawback is that they cannot be used for overly complex products. Double-sided boards are an extension of single-sided boards. When single-layer wiring cannot meet the needs of electronic products, double-sided boards are used. Both sides have copper cladding and wiring, and vias can be used to connect the circuits between the two layers, forming the required network connections. Multi-layer boards are printed boards with three or more conductive graphic layers separated by insulating materials and laminated together, with the conductive graphics interconnected as required. Multi-layer printed wiring boards are the result of the development of electronic information technology towards high speed, multifunction, large capacity, small size, thinness, and lightweight. Printed wiring boards can also be classified by characteristics into flexible boards (FPC), rigid boards (PCB), and rigid-flex boards (FPCB).

Can I negotiate a rebate when repairing my car at a 4S shop?

You can negotiate a rebate when repairing your car at a 4S shop, as long as it falls within the scope of the damage assessment. Things to pay attention to when visiting a 4S shop: 1. Verify vehicle information: This mainly includes the vehicle repair unit (owner's name), license plate number, engine number, chassis number, entry time and exit time (settlement time). The key points are the engine number and chassis number. The owner should carefully check these two numbers against those on the vehicle license to prevent incorrect input by the settlement staff. Otherwise, in case of an accident, there might be no way to file a complaint. 2. Try to recover spare parts: The spare parts list details which parts were replaced during the current maintenance, along with the price of each part. The owner needs to check whether the listed spare parts exceed the range of those that needed replacement in the repair project. At the same time, you can choose to recover the replaced parts as much as possible.

Why does the Volkswagen Sagitar display EPC and battery symbols?

Volkswagen Sagitar displays EPC and battery symbols for the following reasons: Battery failure: The car can still operate normally when the battery indicator light is on because it can continue to use the electrical energy stored in the battery until the battery is depleted. Once depleted, no part of the car will function. When the battery indicator light is on, you can still drive the car to the garage, which will not damage any components. However, you must reach the garage before the battery is completely drained and the car stalls. Accessory failure: Reasons such as alternator failure, circuit failure, charging regulator failure, or loose components. It is recommended to use a testing instrument to check the alternator's charging capacity (with all electrical devices turned on). The minimum should be above 12.5V. Check the circuits related to the alternator and electrical devices. If the above checks are normal, it is recommended to replace the alternator assembly.

Can the license plate be retained when changing cars?

It is possible to retain the license plate when changing cars, but the following conditions must be met: 1. First, all traffic violation records of the original vehicle must be cleared; 2. The owner must have owned the vehicle for more than 3 years; 3. The original license plate must have been used for more than 1 year; 4. The application to retain the original license plate number must be submitted within 6 months after the original vehicle is transferred or scrapped. If the conditions for retaining the original license plate number are met, the owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. License plates are plates hung on the front and rear of a vehicle, usually made of aluminum, iron, plastic, or paper, engraved with the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information.

What does vehicle braking mean?

Vehicle braking refers to the act of slowing down or stopping a vehicle. The introduction to vehicle braking is as follows: Anticipatory braking: For identified or anticipated complex situations, the driver should plan ahead and purposefully release the accelerator pedal in advance, utilizing the natural resistance during driving to coast and decelerate. Depending on the situation, the driver should intermittently and gently press the brake pedal to further reduce speed or come to a complete stop. This is the most commonly used braking method for safe driving. Emergency braking: When encountering sudden dangerous situations, the driver should quickly release the accelerator pedal, immediately press the brake pedal firmly, and simultaneously pull the handbrake lever to bring the vehicle to an immediate stop. This is an emergency stopping measure taken to avoid traffic accidents. This type of braking causes significant wear and tear on vehicle components and can easily lead to loss of control, so it should only be used as a last resort.
