Roewe RX5 can't start even though it has electricity due to circuit faults, electronic faults, or fuel system faults. Additional Information: Roewe RX5: The Roewe RX5 is an internet SUV launched by SAIC Roewe in 2016. Roewe RX5's Engine: The vehicle adopts the 'Blue Core' high-efficiency power technology, equipped with 2.0T and 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engines. Specifically, the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, with a minimum combined fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100 km; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 6.8L per 100 km. Additionally, the Roewe RX5 features Porsche-tuned chassis, GKN intelligent all-wheel-drive system sourced from Land Rover, fully independent suspension system, and a four-way high-speed CANBUS system bus, comprehensively enhancing the driving and riding quality.

My Roewe RX5 recently encountered the same issue. The dashboard lights were on indicating power in the car, but the vehicle just wouldn't start when I tried to ignite it. At first, I thought the battery was dead, but after checking with a multimeter and finding the voltage normal, I ruled out battery problems. Then I inspected the starter motor and suspected possible poor relay contact or ignition switch aging causing connection issues. Further investigation revealed that worn-out spark plugs could also cause ignition failure - replacing them with new ones solved the problem. Additionally, pay attention to the fuel system; if the fuel pump or filter is clogged and can't supply fuel properly, the engine won't start. The mechanic reminded me during repairs that when the crankshaft position sensor fails, the ECU won't receive signals and the car won't start either. In summary, don't panic when facing such situations. Start troubleshooting from simpler components first, and if all else fails, take it to a professional repair shop promptly to avoid travel disruptions.

I was driving my Roewe RX5 when it suddenly wouldn't start, which gave me quite a scare. The dashboard had power but there was no response when trying to ignite. I tried troubleshooting myself, and it might be due to a fuel pump issue causing insufficient fuel supply, or excessive carbon buildup on the spark plugs preventing ignition. Another time I encountered a similar situation, it was because the starter motor was jammed, and replacing a small part fixed it. Loose or oxidized wiring connections causing poor contact are also common, especially in older cars. A dirty air filter affecting air intake can also lead to starting difficulties. I recommend checking these vulnerable parts first like I did to save time and money. Regular maintenance can prevent major repairs and reduce the hassle of such minor faults.

My Roewe RX5 has occasionally encountered a starting failure issue after prolonged use, where the battery shows sufficient charge but the engine fails to start. Based on my experience, the root causes primarily lie in the starting system: first, the starter motor gear may be stuck or worn out due to aging; second, there could be a response delay in the electronic module of the ignition switch; third, fuel system issues such as insufficient fuel pump pressure or a clogged fuel filter causing supply interruption. A faulty crankshaft sensor can also frequently cause trouble as the ECU fails to coordinate engine operation. The solution involves systematic troubleshooting—for example, removing the spark plugs to check ignition status or scanning for error codes with a diagnostic tool. Don’t rush or cut corners; ensure safety before any DIY attempts and replace necessary components promptly, otherwise a roadside breakdown will be far more troublesome.

Does Tire Sealant Damage Tires?

Automotive tire sealant can indeed cause damage to tires. After using sealant, the tire surface may suffer corrosion, and the formation of a colloidal protective film on the tire surface can interfere with grinding and adhesion during the tire repair process. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery that roll on the ground. The functions of tires are: 1. To prevent automotive components from experiencing severe vibrations and premature damage, adapting to the high-speed performance of vehicles while reducing driving noise; 2. To support the full weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 3. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and passability.

What is the function of a blow-off valve in a car?

The function of a blow-off valve in a car is: 1. To ensure the boost pressure remains near the specified value, preventing engine damage; 2. To control the pressure in the intake pipeline below the limit value; 3. To protect the turbocharger. The blow-off valve automatically opens and closes based on the system's working pressure and is installed on equipment or pipelines in a closed system to protect system safety. The working principle of a car blow-off valve is: 1. Intake blow-off valve: After the return of oil, it releases the pressurized air before the throttle; 2. Exhaust blow-off valve: Under continuous boost conditions, to prevent turbo overpressure and engine knocking, it releases a small amount of gas to maintain the turbo's pressure.

What Causes the One-Button Start Button Light to Flash?

The reasons for the one-button start button light flashing: 1. Installation of a dashcam or other electrical devices leading to incorrect wiring, i.e., improper power sourcing. The solution is to rewire. 2. Battery depletion. The solution is to replace the battery. 3. Key sensing issue. Sometimes strong nearby magnetic fields can cause interference, preventing the key from being detected. The solution is to point the key directly at the one-button start. 4. Steering wheel lock. The steering wheel locking is a normal anti-theft feature. This situation occurs when the steering wheel is turned after the vehicle is turned off, causing the car's computer to assume a theft attempt and automatically activate the anti-theft function. The solution is to press the one-button start once, then step on the brake, turn the steering wheel, and press the one-button start again.

Does the Teana require matching when replacing the steering gear?

Replacing the steering gear in a Teana requires rematching. For any motor vehicle, if the steering gear is replaced, it needs to be rematched with the vehicle's computer. Precautions when replacing the steering gear: When replacing the steering gear assembly, it is important to align it correctly with the steering wheel's position during installation. Otherwise, it may result in an unequal number of turns when steering left and right. Components of the steering gear: The automotive steering system mainly consists of the steering wheel assembly, steering column assembly, rack and pinion power steering gear and tie rod assembly, power steering (hydraulic or electric) system, and wheel assembly. Function of the steering gear: The driver uses a specialized mechanism to make the wheels on the steering axle deviate from the vehicle's longitudinal axis by a certain angle.

What is the reason for slight shaking when stepping on the brake in D gear?

Possible reasons include: aging of engine or transmission mounts, gear engagement impact in the transmission, or improper engine air-fuel mixture matching. Below is an analysis of the causes of car shaking: 1. Engine or transmission mounts, commonly known as engine mounts, may be affected by aging or improper installation. Further inspection is needed to confirm whether replacement is required; 2. Gear engagement impact in the transmission, caused by impurities or dirt in the transmission fluid, leading to poor performance of the transmission hydraulic system. Further inspection of the transmission fluid and transmission components is necessary; 3. Improper engine air-fuel mixture matching, such as poor engine performance, issues with spark plugs, fuel injectors, etc., requires further inspection to confirm the cause of the fault.
