Why can't the Changan CS55 start?
2 Answers
Changan CS55 failing to start may be due to incorrect gear position, dead battery, or issues with the vehicle's ignition system. Changan CS55: The Changan CS55 is an automobile, an SUV model released by Changan Automobile in 2017. The launch of the Changan CS55 not only completed Changan Automobile's SUV product lineup but also strengthened its competitiveness in the compact SUV market, holding significant strategic importance for Changan Automobile. Interior: In terms of interior design, the Changan CS55 follows a "refined" approach, featuring a three-spoke steering wheel and a symmetrical center console. The air vents, center control area, and red decorative strips on both sides of the center console exhibit "individualistic" characteristics. The seats of the new car adopt a red and black color scheme, catering to the sporty preferences of young consumers.
I've handled quite a few cases where the CS55 wouldn't start, with the most common issue being a dead battery. After three to five years of use, batteries tend to age, especially making cold starts more difficult in winter. If the dashboard lights are particularly dim or completely unresponsive when you turn the key, it's highly likely the battery needs replacing. Another scenario is when the starter makes a clicking sound but the engine doesn't turn over, which could indicate a faulty starter relay. I've encountered cases where owners installed additional electrical components causing current leakage, draining the battery completely after locking the car. As an emergency measure, you can try jump-starting the car, but if it still won't start after that, you should check the fuel pump fuse (a 15A blue fuse labeled FUEL in the engine compartment fuse box). If these basic checks don't resolve the issue, then you'll need to inspect the crankshaft position sensor—if it's faulty, the engine control unit won't be able to detect the engine's position at all.
