OBD interface generally has the inner core wire connected to the positive terminal and the outer core wire connected to the negative terminal. OBD, or On-Board Diagnostics, is a system that monitors vehicle operating conditions and provides timely feedback on abnormalities, primarily focusing on the engine status and exhaust conditions of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to OBD: Functions of the 9 wires in the vehicle's OBD port: Among them, four wires are related to the vehicle's ECU: one is ECUCANH, one is ECUCANL, one is ECUK line, and another is the computer memory recovery line. Additionally, two wires in the vehicle's OBD are the ground and power lines provided by the vehicle itself. The other three wires are the vehicle's transmission communication line, instrument panel communication line, and body communication line, etc. Common functions of OBD: Continuously monitor the faults of components and systems to ensure that the vehicle's emissions do not exceed the requirements of OBD regulations during its service life; when detecting relevant emission faults, the OBD system can alert through the MIL light on the dashboard; faulty vehicles can be repaired promptly to reduce emissions; the OBD system helps technicians quickly diagnose and perform targeted repairs, lowering maintenance costs.

What are the reasons for the automatic transmission warning light to illuminate?

Automatic transmission warning light may illuminate due to electronic component failure, severe mechanical component wear, erroneous signals, solenoid valve blockage, or computer damage. Transmission electronic component failure: The solution is to perform computer diagnostics at a repair shop and replace damaged electronic components. Severe mechanical component wear: The solution is to repair the damaged mechanical components. Erroneous signals: The engine or ABS system may send incorrect signals that interfere with transmission operation. The solution is to inspect the engine and ABS system and repair any damaged electrical components. Solenoid valve blockage: Contaminants in transmission fluid may block the solenoid valve. The solution is to disassemble the transmission valve body for cleaning and replace the transmission fluid. Transmission computer damage: Since solenoid valve signals require computer processing, computer damage can lead to abnormal signal processing, causing the transmission warning light to illuminate. The solution is to have the computer fault addressed at a repair shop.

What are the causes of engine failure in Qin Plus DM-i?

Here are the specific reasons for engine failure in Qin Plus DM-i: 1. Irregular maintenance: About 50% of engine failures are caused by poor maintenance. 2. Incomplete combustion: Poor engine combustion state is the main reason for the engine warning light to illuminate. In automotive design, oxygen sensors are installed to monitor the engine's combustion state, ensuring optimal working conditions and normal engine lifespan. When combustion is poor—such as high levels of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen oxides—it not only pollutes the environment but also leads to fuel waste and excessive engine wear. 3. Engine knocking: The engine is equipped with a dedicated knock sensor to monitor knocking. Engine knocking can potentially cause severe mechanical damage or significant power loss. Typically, knocking is categorized into detectable and undetectable knocking. In cases of undetectable knocking, the engine control unit adjusts parameters to mitigate adverse effects. However, when undetectable knocking exceeds the adjustable range of the engine control unit, the engine warning light will activate as an alert.

Should I schedule the driving test (Subject 3) first or practice driving first?

It's better to schedule the Subject 3 test first and then practice driving, which is also the common practice at driving schools. Subject 3 practice tips: When practicing for Subject 3, try to avoid using the half-clutch technique. Coordinate the accelerator and clutch properly - they shouldn't be pressed simultaneously. Before shifting gears, release the accelerator first and then press the clutch. After shifting, release the clutch before pressing the accelerator. Gear shifting movements should be coordinated and not too forceful, as excessive force with the right hand may cause the steering wheel (controlled by the left hand) to deviate. Subject 3 scheduling tips: The current Subject 3 test scheduling system operates automatically, and neither local vehicle management offices nor driving schools can manually intervene. Therefore, choosing the "system allocation mode" can to some extent improve the success rate of scheduling a test, but the specific test session and time won't be fixed. Try to avoid choosing test centers that show as crowded, and it's recommended to select some more remote test centers.
