1. What is the Transmission System: The transmission system generally consists of components such as the clutch, gearbox, universal transmission device, main reducer, differential, and half-shaft. Its basic function is to transmit the power generated by the engine to the driving wheels of the car, producing driving force to enable the car to travel at a certain speed. 2. Understanding "Transmission System Fault": According to the above explanation, a transmission system fault should refer to failures in components like the clutch, gearbox, universal transmission device, main reducer, differential, and half-shaft. However, in reality, apart from these component failures being classified as transmission system faults, many unrelated issues—such as fuel pump, fuel injector, solenoid valve, sensor malfunctions, or even a damaged screw—can trigger a "transmission system fault" warning. 3. Summary of Reasons Why BMW Displays "Transmission System Fault": 1. The onboard computer cannot respond in time, causing the program to malfunction; 2. Fuel pump damage or fuel pump sensor failure; 3. Fuel injector damage; 4. Ignition coil failure; 5. Spark plug damage or carbon buildup; 6. Turbocharger wastegate damage, which may not be the wastegate itself but a clogged internal filter; 7. Incorrect vacuum tube connection on the turbocharger wastegate; 8. Relay burnout in the fuse box on the right side of the rear trunk; 9. VANOS solenoid valve damage; 10. Loose or damaged camshaft position sensor screw.

BMW's power delivery can sometimes be inconsistent, with common issues stemming from the turbocharger and drivetrain. Having driven several BMW models, I've noticed significant turbo lag during acceleration—the supercharger isn't fully engaged at low RPMs, causing the power to feel stuck with delayed response. Additionally, the rear-wheel-drive layout tends to lose traction on slippery surfaces, resulting in partial power loss. The ECU tuning leans toward sportiness, prioritizing handling at the expense of smoothness, which leads to discontinuous power output. Some models suffer from slow automatic transmission shifts, exacerbating the problem. Regular maintenance like oil changes and driveshaft lubrication checks can help mitigate these issues, but they're inherent to the design and can't be fully resolved.

What are the precautions for practicing driving on rainy days?

Precautions for practicing driving on rainy days are as follows: 1. When practicing driving on rainy days, choose shoes with patterned soles. If not, shake off the water on the soles before getting into the car, rub the shoes on the floorboard a few times after getting in, and then place them on the clutch and brake to avoid slipping; dry your hands before placing them on the steering wheel to prevent slipping. 2. On rainy days, wheels are prone to skidding, so avoid driving too fast. When braking, first use light or intermittent braking to reduce speed before applying full brakes, and never stomp on the brakes suddenly. The button for the windshield wiper is located on the lower right side of the steering wheel, opposite the turn signal button. Learn to use the windshield wiper when driving in the rain.

What is the Working Principle of Ultrasonic Sensors?

Ultrasonic sensors operate on the following principle: The primary materials used in ultrasonic sensors are piezoelectric crystals and nickel-iron-aluminum alloys. Ultrasonic sensors composed of piezoelectric crystals are reversible sensors that can convert electrical energy into mechanical oscillations to generate ultrasonic waves. Conversely, when they receive ultrasonic waves, they can also convert them back into electrical energy. Additional Information: An ultrasonic sensor is a device that converts ultrasonic signals into other forms of energy signals (typically electrical signals). Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves with vibration frequencies higher than 20kHz. They are characterized by high frequency, short wavelength, minimal diffraction phenomena, and particularly excellent directivity, enabling them to propagate directionally as rays.

Why can't a motorcycle battery be charged after not being used for a year?

Motorcycle battery cannot be charged after not being used for a year because the charger may think the charging clamps are not connected to the battery terminals after the battery is over-discharged. Reasons for motorcycle battery losing power: If the battery has not been maintained, the acid inside the battery may be depleted, or the lack of distilled water and electrolyte can also cause the battery to lose power. How to handle a motorcycle battery losing power: You can check if the battery fluid is low. If it is, you can add distilled water or battery electrolyte yourself, and there is no need to replace the battery if it is not damaged. Just use the motorcycle regularly and try to avoid driving with the headlights on for long periods at night to prevent the battery from losing power. This way, the battery can remain charged for a long time.

How is the automobile chassis structure composed?

Automobile chassis structure is composed of four parts: transmission system, running system, steering system and braking system. Chassis: The function of the chassis is to support and install the automobile engine and its various components and assemblies, form the overall shape of the automobile, receive the power of the engine, make the automobile move, and ensure normal driving. Functions of automobile chassis: Receive the power of the transmission system, generate traction through the interaction between the driving wheels and the road surface to ensure normal driving of the automobile; bear the total weight of the automobile and the reaction force of the ground; mitigate the impact of uneven road surfaces on the body, dampen the vibration during driving, and maintain driving smoothness; cooperate with the steering system to ensure the handling stability of the automobile.

Should the parking brake be used when parking an automatic transmission car?

When parking an automatic transmission car, it is necessary to use the parking brake, especially when parking on a slope. Applying the parking brake can prevent the car from rolling away. Situations where the parking brake should be used include: 1. Parking and turning off the engine with the parking brake engaged; 2. Parking in neutral with the parking brake engaged. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked to prevent it from rolling. Precautions for using the parking brake: 1. Avoid pulling it too tightly to prevent system damage; 2. Avoid using the parking brake for long-term parking on slopes; 3. Do not engage the parking brake while driving at high speeds; 4. Release the parking brake before starting the car. An automatic transmission car does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
