There may be several reasons: the vehicle's skid control function is turned off; a fault in the wheel speed sensor circuit; or a malfunction in the ABS pump. The specific causes are as follows: 1. The vehicle's skid control function is turned off: If the driver accidentally disables the skid control function in the vehicle settings, it will cause the onboard computer to report an error and trigger the skid control light on the dashboard. Check whether the skid control function is turned off in the vehicle settings. 2. Fault in the wheel speed sensor circuit: When the vehicle encounters an obstacle while driving and needs to make an emergency turn to avoid it, the vehicle stability system uses the wheel speed information collected by the wheel speed sensor to adjust the vehicle's movement posture and prevent skidding and loss of control. A faulty wheel speed sensor will trigger the skid control light on the dashboard. The technician will lift the vehicle with a lift and use a multimeter to check for faults in the wheel speed sensor circuit. 3. ABS pump malfunction: A faulty ABS pump will prevent the vehicle stability system from controlling wheel rotation via the ABS during emergency turns, making it unable to adjust the vehicle's movement posture and prevent loss of control. The technician will use a specialized automotive diagnostic tool to read the ABS pump data and determine whether the ABS pump is faulty.

What to Do If the Key to Wuling Zhiguang Is Lost?

Here are the solutions for a lost key to Wuling Zhiguang: 1. Only duplicate the key without replacing the entire car lock: If you are certain the key was not stolen, you can go to a 4S shop or an auto parts market to duplicate the key.

What to Do When Car Windows Frost Over in Winter?

Methods for defrosting car windows in winter are as follows: 1. Use the car's defogging function or defogging spray: In winter, if frost forms on the car glass, you can use the car's defogging function to remove it. After starting the car, turn on the air conditioning defogging function to blow away the frost on the glass. If the frost is not too heavy, slightly opening a window to allow air convection inside the car can also help disperse the frost. Alternatively, you can purchase a defogging spray and apply it to the inner surface of the glass to prevent frost formation. One application of the defogging spray can prevent fogging for about ten days. 2. Increase the glass temperature: Raising the temperature of the glass or reducing the humidity inside the car can help. If frost forms while the car is parked, you can rinse it with warm water or start the car and turn on the heating to blow warm air onto the glass, which will clear the frost quickly.

What does China 5 mean for vehicles?

Here is an introduction to the meaning of China 5 vehicles: China 5 vehicles refer to cars that meet the National Phase 5 Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards. The emission control level of the China 5 standard is equivalent to the European Phase 5 emission standard currently in effect. Below is an introduction to China 6 vehicles: 1. Changes in the China 6 standard: Compared to China 5 standard gasoline and diesel, China 6 fuel reduces carbon monoxide emissions by 50%, total hydrocarbon and non-methane hydrocarbon emission limits by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions by 42%. Moreover, China 6 fuel has lower levels of harmful components compared to China 5, effectively reducing engine carbon deposits and significantly lowering damage to vehicles and machinery. At the same time, gasoline density is maintained within the range of 740-745 kg/m³, and diesel density is kept between 830-835 kg/m³, ensuring vehicle power while reducing maintenance costs. 2. Definition of compliance with China 6 standards: Compliance with China 6 vehicle emission standards means that the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and PM harmful gases emitted from vehicle exhaust must meet national standards. These are all harmful gases produced during the engine's combustion process.
