The computer interface of BAIC Weiwang M20 is located under the co-driver's blower. The computer diagnostic system refers to the OBD system, specifically the On-Board Diagnostics system, which continuously monitors the faults of components and systems. When a fault is detected, it alerts through the warning indicator on the dashboard. The BAIC Weiwang M20 adopts a new family-style design element, featuring a double U-shaped front air intake grille that complements the newly added silver lower guard at the bottom of the front bumper, giving it a strong recognition. In terms of interior, the BAIC Weiwang M20 is largely similar to the existing models, with the difference being the extensive use of soft materials, which enhances the sense of quality. Additionally, the vehicle has a 7-seat layout in a 2+2+3 format. For power, it is equipped with a 1.5L engine, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I usually drive a BAIC Weiwang M20. Last time at the repair shop, the owner mentioned that the computer interface is usually installed near the left side below the steering wheel at leg level. If you crouch down and look towards the foot brake, you'll spot a small black box with a plastic cover. Sometimes it's also found at the rear corner of the side storage compartment next to the driver's seat. For older models, the interface is mostly tightly attached next to the steering column, requiring you to lift the carpet or plastic trim to find it. Plugging a small device into this interface can read the vehicle's fault codes, instantly revealing issues like the engine light coming on, saving you the hassle of long queues at 4S shops. I think it's good to occasionally check if the interface is covered by dust and keep it clean to avoid poor contact and false fault reports during diagnosis, since daily driving relies heavily on electronic systems for safety.

As someone who enjoys tinkering with car repairs, I've played around with quite a few diagnostic devices. The OBD port of the BAIC Weiwang M20 is usually located on the instrument panel bracket below the steering wheel on the driver's side. Just feel around with your hand to locate the 16-pin connector. Don't just focus on the port location—once connected to a scanner, it can detect the status of all electronic modules including the engine and ABS. If the warning light is on or acceleration is sluggish, simply plug it in to read the specific fault codes. I also recommend checking the wiring harness for signs of aging or looseness. Sometimes, vibrations on bumpy roads can cause poor contact due to port wobbling, leading to misjudgments by the car's computer. Addressing this early can prevent the risk of breaking down midway. During regular use, make sure rainwater doesn't seep into the area—keeping it dry prevents corrosion and ensures smooth data reading.

Having driven for many years and being attentive to driving safety, I always check the computer interface for diagnosis at the first sign of any abnormal noise or warning light. The interface for the BAIC Weiwang M20 is typically located in the area in front of the legs on the left side of the steering wheel. Just flip open the cover to see the standard OBD port. Connecting a diagnostic tool takes only a few seconds, and reading the data promptly can prevent minor issues from escalating into major accidents. For instance, detecting unstable battery voltage or sensor malfunctions through the interface allows for quick repairs, ensuring safety and peace of mind while driving on the road.

What Causes the Clicking Sound When Starting the Car at Low Speed?

The reasons for the clicking sound when starting the car at low speed are: 1. Due to the transmission oil operating in high-temperature and high-pressure environments, a lot of sludge and impurities are produced, causing the transmission oil to thicken and reducing its fluidity. This results in direct friction between components without a protective layer, exacerbating mechanical wear and causing abnormal noise; 2. The transmission oil needs to be replaced. The correct method for starting the car is: 1. Insert the key and keep it in the LOCK position for about 2 seconds; 2. Turn it to the ON position and wait for about 5 seconds for the car's computer self-check; 3. Turn the key to the START position to ignite, and release the key after starting; 4. Let the car warm up in place for 30 seconds to about 1 minute; 5. Press the brake, shift to D gear, then release the handbrake and foot brake to start.

Are Vehicle Inspection Stations Closed on Weekends?

Generally, the regular working hours of vehicle inspection stations are from Monday to Friday. In some regions, as the vehicle management offices also operate normally on weekends, many vehicle inspection stations have also started to operate normally on weekends. Whether the inspection stations are open on Saturdays and Sundays needs to be confirmed with the local vehicle inspection station. The Purpose of Annual Inspection: The purpose of the annual inspection is to check the quality of the vehicle and whether all aspects of the vehicle meet the relevant regulations for road driving, mainly to ensure the safety of vehicle operation, and also to provide a guarantee for the safety of the driver. Precautions for Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicles should undergo annual inspection within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. According to relevant laws and regulations, the owner of the motor vehicle must first handle any related traffic violations or accidents before applying for the annual inspection of the motor vehicle in accordance with the legal procedures.

Can a Part-Time 4WD Vehicle Pass Regular Inspection?

Part-time 4WD vehicles can undergo regular inspection. Inspection Process: The inspection line checks components such as brakes, headlights (high beam), and chassis, taking approximately 5-10 minutes. After the vehicle exits the line, a computer-printed report is issued, listing items like braking, lighting, and horn functionality. Qualified items are marked "0", while unqualified ones are marked "X". Inspection Frequency Requirements: Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected annually within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. Trucks and large/medium non-operational passenger vehicles require annual inspections within the first 10 years, transitioning to semi-annual inspections after that period. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles enjoy a 6-year exemption from physical inspection, requiring only biennial inspection label applications. Starting November 20, 2020, 7-9 seat non-operational small/micro buses (excluding vans) were included in the exemption scope.

What does 280tsi mean?

280tsi refers to the high-power version of a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with an approximate maximum torque of 280. The meaning of TSI: TSI is an acronym for Twincharger (turbocharging and supercharging) and Fuel Stratified Injection, representing the three key features of this engine: forced induction, direct fuel injection, and stratified combustion. In TSI, T stands for turbocharging, S for stratified, and I for injection, meaning TSI is a turbocharged direct-injection engine. The working principle and advantages of the 280tsi engine are mainly reflected in the following aspects: The working principle is based on the characteristics of exhaust gas turbocharging, which utilizes exhaust gases. The system itself consumes almost no engine power, improving intake efficiency and enhancing performance. The advantages include immediate intervention upon engine start-up, providing strong acceleration from the start without turbo lag, and isolating the heat dissipation of the burned mixture to the cylinder walls and cylinder head, reducing the engine's thermal loss.

How many points are deducted for driving without a seat belt?

Driving without a seat belt will result in a deduction of 2 points. Introduction to seat belts: A seat belt is a safety device used in equipment, such as when riding aircraft or performing high-altitude work and artistic performances, to ensure safety. The main materials are polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. A seat belt does not only refer to the webbing; besides the webbing, the seat belt is also assembled with other components. Purpose of seat belts: Safety is the most basic need for travel. However, although some people pay great attention to the safety performance of vehicles when purchasing a car, they do not pay enough attention to the seat belts that protect the lives of drivers and passengers.
