Oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust pipe of the engine, demarcated by the three-way catalytic converter. The sensor before the three-way catalytic converter is the front oxygen sensor, while the one after it is the rear oxygen sensor. The front oxygen sensor detects the oxygen concentration in the engine's exhaust gases, whereas the rear oxygen sensor measures the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases after they have been purified by the three-way catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor is a crucial feedback sensor in the electronic fuel injection engine control system, playing a key role in controlling vehicle exhaust emissions, reducing environmental pollution caused by automobiles, and improving the fuel combustion quality of the engine. There are two types of oxygen sensors: zirconia and titania.

What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in a Honda Fit?

The engine warning light may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the warning light. Fuel/oil quality issues: Failure to use the manufacturer-recommended fuel or engine oil may cause engine wear, leading to warning light activation. Poor fuel mixture combustion: This can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, the warning light activates. Causes include spark plug failure, ignition coil issues, fuel pump malfunction, or fuel line blockage. Turbocharger problems: Issues with the intake boost system or turbocharger can trigger the warning light. Common turbocharger failures are accompanied by oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, power loss, metallic noises, or blue/black exhaust smoke. Intake system issues: Air intake problems may lead to engine passage blockage, potentially triggering the warning light. A dirty air filter that hasn't been regularly cleaned can cause intake issues. Exhaust system problems: Exhaust faults like rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter issues, or exhaust camshaft/bearing problems may activate the warning light. Catalytic converter failure is most common, often caused by leaded gasoline, improper lubricant additives, physical damage, or fuel system issues. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the electronic anti-theft system fails or doesn't match the engine control unit, it may prevent normal engine operation and trigger the warning light. When the engine warning light illuminates, follow these steps: First check if the engine operates normally. If there's shaking, black smoke, etc., avoid restarting - especially if the red warning light is on. If the engine starts normally, turn off for 5-10 minutes, then power on without pressing brakes (push start button) or depressing clutch (turn key halfway to ON position). After 5-10 seconds of self-check, observe if the warning light turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center immediately. Technicians can read diagnostic trouble codes with a scanner to identify and fix the specific issue.

Does the Xingrui have underbody armor?

The original vehicle does not come with underbody armor; it needs to be installed afterward. Impact Protection: During driving, it's inevitable for small stones to be kicked up and hit the underbody of the car. Over time, this can cause significant damage to the underbody. Installing underbody armor can prevent such impacts from stones, thereby protecting the integrity of the car's underbody. Scratch Protection: On different road sections, there are inevitably some raised areas that can cause wear to the car's underbody. Adding underbody armor can prevent such wear, offering greater protection to the car's underbody.

What is the reason for the speedometer of Aoling Jieyun not working?

It may be that the speedometer in the vehicle's instrument cluster has malfunctioned. Possible causes: It may be that the speedometer in the vehicle's instrument cluster has malfunctioned, causing the needle of the gauge not to move. It may be that the vehicle's wheel speed sensor has malfunctioned, causing the gauge not to move. It may be that the vehicle's mileage sensor has malfunctioned, causing the gauge not to move. Additional information: The faster the engine speed, the more pulses the ignition coil generates, and the higher the speed value displayed on the gauge. Cars generally have electronic tachometers, which come in pointer-type and liquid crystal digital display types. The gauge contains digital integrated circuits that calculate the voltage pulses transmitted by the ignition coil and then drive the pointer movement or digital display.
