There are many possible reasons why a car's turn signals may not be working, including open circuits, faulty flasher relays, excessive contact gap, and other factors. Checking the coil: Open the flasher relay cover and inspect whether the coil and resistor are intact. If the resistor is heating up but the contacts fail to close, press the movable contact. If the turn signals light up at this point, it indicates a relay malfunction. Adjust if the contact gap is too large. Faulty turn signal switch: If the turn signals still don't light up when pressing the movable contact and the contacts are closed, use a screwdriver to bridge the contacts. If the lights then work, it suggests oxidized contacts. If the turn signals remain off, the issue may lie with the turn signal switch. Use a screwdriver to connect the switch's power line to the left and right light terminal posts separately. If the lights illuminate, this confirms a faulty turn signal switch that requires removal, repair, or replacement.

Is the speed limit on Quannan Expressway 100 or 120?

Quannan Expressway has a speed limit of 100. Precautions for driving on expressways are as follows: Check for potential hazards before getting in the car; Concentrate on driving; Avoid fatigue driving; Maintain a safe speed; Request instructions early and report late; Be careful when driving at night; Handle tire blowouts correctly. Try not to occupy the outermost lane for long periods of time. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: According to China's Road Traffic Safety Law, it is clearly stipulated that road traffic safety work should follow the principles of legal management and convenience for the public, ensuring orderly and safe road traffic; It is also important to note that motor vehicles that have reached the scrapping standard are not allowed to drive on the road. Article 21 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states that before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver should carefully inspect the safety technical performance of the motor vehicle.

What does OBD mean?

OBD refers to the On-Board Diagnostics system. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check whether the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. Below is relevant information about OBD: Introduction to On-Board Diagnostics System: The system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions to check whether the vehicle's emissions exceed the standard. If they do, it will immediately issue a warning. When a system fault occurs, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate. At the same time, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) stores the fault information in memory. Through a specific procedure, the fault code can be read from the PCM. Based on the fault code, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. Challenges Facing OBD: The implementation of OBD is closely related to four main aspects: usage environment, fuel characteristics, driving habits, and vehicle condition. Any deficiency in these areas can affect the expansion and application of OBD. The introduction of OBD technology requires corresponding improvements in the following supporting conditions: fuel quality, vehicle maintenance skills, consistency of related components, improvement in driver proficiency, advancement in OBD technology itself, and support from various sectors of society.

Can a gasoline car be push-started?

Yes. The conditions required for "push-starting" a car: 1. The battery must have sufficient charge: When the ignition is in the "ON" position, it should ensure that the dashboard indicator lights are illuminated. 2. The car must be a manual transmission: Automatic transmission (AT) vehicles have a torque converter between the transmission and the engine, making it difficult to transfer torque in reverse at low speeds. Precautions: 1. Push-starting is a delicate technical task, so if the driver is not skilled and fails to coordinate the throttle and clutch properly, the vehicle may still not start after being pushed. 2. In addition to push-starting, you can also use another vehicle's battery to jump-start your car. Use two thick wires, connecting positive to positive and negative to negative, ensuring not to reverse the polarity. Once the car starts successfully, remove the wires immediately.

Which OBD port connects to the positive and negative terminals?

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.

Why Does the Car Shake When Driving?

Analysis of car shaking while driving: 1. Shaking during startup: Shaking during startup is caused by insufficient fuel combustion, leading to inadequate power. 2. Idle shaking: Idle shaking results from severe engine carbon deposits, ignition system issues, or unstable oil pressure. 3. High-speed shaking: High-speed shaking is due to excessively high or low tire pressure, abnormal tire wear, rim deformation, shock absorber failure, or tire dynamic imbalance. 4. Engine mount aging: The engine mount, which serves as the engine's shock absorption system, absorbs minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mount fails, these vibrations can transfer to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing the car to shake.

What Causes the Thumping Sound in a Car?

If the front wheels make a thumping sound, it might be due to overly stiff shock absorbers. Below are the possible causes of a thumping sound from the front wheels: 1. Loose steering ball joint: Excessive wear in the ball joint can create play, leading to a thumping noise when driving on uneven roads. This issue can only be resolved by replacing the lower control arm ball joint. 2. Leaking or deformed shock absorber: If the shock absorber is damaged or aged, its damping effect significantly decreases. Without proper lubrication inside, it may produce abnormal noises. Severely aged shock absorbers must be replaced. 3. Warped wheel hub: A wheel hub subjected to strong impacts may become warped, causing a rhythmic thumping sound and noticeable bumps. This can be fixed by repairing or replacing the wheel hub.
