Where is the computer board of Haval F7 located?
2 Answers
Haval F7's computer board is located on the sub-instrument panel. Fuel consumption calculation method: After resetting the mileage data recorded by the vehicle's dashboard, the onboard computer automatically calculates the vehicle's fuel consumption based on the recorded mileage and fuel consumption data. Definition of constant-speed fuel consumption: Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. During road tests, it is necessary to follow the national standards for test conditions, test methods, test road selection, etc. Test conditions include: the load of the test vehicle, the accuracy of test instruments, fuel, tire selection, ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, etc.
When I first drove the Haval F7, I was also curious about where the ECU was located. Actually, it's near the battery on the left side of the engine bay—just pop the hood and you'll see a black metal box. Be careful though, the box is covered with connector wiring harnesses, and damaging them can be costly to repair. Once while washing the car, I noticed a waterproof label on the box cover, and the mechanic said it's prone to short circuits when handled in rainy conditions. In older models, the ECU was under the plastic cover behind the wipers, but its location changed after the 2020 model year. If you can't find it, try lifting the passenger-side floor mat—sometimes the auxiliary control module is hidden behind the steel panel inside the center console. The safest way is to check the manual, as the position may vary depending on the configuration.
