The diagnostic interface of BMW 5 Series is located around the area above the brake pedal, covered by a small panel. You can see it by opening the panel. Automotive diagnostic interface: The automotive diagnostic interface has a total of 16 pins, each representing different functions. Generally, pin 2 is the bus positive, pin 4 is the chassis ground, pin 5 is the signal ground, pin 7 is the K-line, pin 10 is the bus negative, pin 15 is the L-line, and pin 16 is only for power supply or detecting battery voltage and current. Diagnostic card: The diagnostic card, also known as PC-Analyzer or POST (Power-On-Self-Test) card, works by displaying the detection results of the self-test program in the motherboard's BIOS through codes. By referring to the code meaning quick reference table in this book, you can quickly identify the computer fault. Especially when the PC cannot boot the operating system, the screen is black, or the speaker does not sound, using this card can better demonstrate its convenience.

What is the reason for the rearview mirror not folding automatically?

The rearview mirror not folding automatically is caused by damage to the electric actuator. When encountering this situation, the owner should have the electric folding mechanism inspected. If the vehicle is equipped with power-folding rearview mirrors, never fold them manually, as this can damage the electric folding mechanism. The rearview mirror folding function refers to the ability of the side rearview mirrors on both sides of the car to fold and retract when necessary, which can be either manual or electric. Vehicles equipped with power-folding rearview mirrors have a button inside the car; pressing it will fold both mirrors. Some vehicles can also fold the mirrors by pressing the lock button after locking the car.

What is a Handbrake?

Handbrake is an auxiliary brake, which differs in principle from the main brake system. It utilizes a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause plastic deformation of the steel cable. Since this deformation is irreversible, it gradually reduces the effectiveness of the handbrake and increases its travel distance. The handbrake system also includes a return spring. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring stretches, and when released, it returns to its original length. With long-term use, this spring may also undergo deformation. It is a common phenomenon for any mechanical component to experience reduced effectiveness after prolonged and frequent usage.

What are the reasons why Lifan won't start?

Lifan won't start for the following reasons: 1. This phenomenon of not starting is mainly caused by excessive carbon deposits in the idle speed motor, intake port, intake valve, and combustion chamber; 2. Due to excessive carbon deposits and dirt in the intake port, the cross-sectional area of the air passage changes, leading to either too rich or too lean mixture, causing abnormal combustion or shaking of the engine, or even failure to start after ignition. Alternatively, it could be due to problems with the fuel injector, such as leaks or excessive carbon deposits, resulting in too lean mixture during startup and difficulty in starting; 3. Additionally, if the carbon canister or the solenoid valve of the carbon canister malfunctions, it can also cause difficulty in starting.

Is it correct that a green light indicates that motor vehicles are allowed to pass through the intersection ahead?

A green light indicating that motor vehicles are allowed to pass through the intersection ahead is correct. The following are the meanings of traffic signals: 1. When the green light is on: Vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not hinder the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. When the yellow light is on: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. 3. When the red light is on: Vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without separate non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal. Right-turning vehicles may pass when the red light is on, provided they do not hinder the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.
