If the lights stay on after a car is flooded, it is likely due to a CAN bus fault in the ECU. Below is a detailed explanation of the reasons why the lights stay on after a car is flooded: 1. Likely a CAN bus fault in the ECU: Poor contact in the ECU's CAN interface causes all dashboard warning lights to illuminate. 2. Excessive carbon buildup: Excessive carbon deposits in the throttle body, idle speed motor, intake tract, and combustion chamber can cause the engine to stall. Excessive carbon buildup and dirt in the intake tract alter the cross-sectional area of the air passage, preventing the control unit from precisely regulating idle air intake. This results in an overly rich or lean air-fuel mixture, making the engine difficult to start and causing all dashboard warning lights to illuminate. 3. Poor fuel performance in the electronic control system: Due to inadequate fuel pressure maintenance in the electronic control system, low fuel pressure leads to poor fuel atomization, making the engine difficult to start and causing all dashboard warning lights to illuminate.

What are the effects of not changing the motorcycle oil filter for a long time?

If the oil filter is not replaced for a long time, impurities inside the engine will accumulate at the filter, causing partial blockage. This can lead to poor oil circulation within the engine, resulting in inadequate lubrication of related engine components. Additional information: 1. The function of the oil filter: The oil filter is designed to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. 2. Introduction to motorcycles: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also serves as sports equipment. Broadly speaking, motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes, among others.

How to Measure the Condition of an Ignition Coil?

The testing method for the ignition coil is as follows: 1. Set the vehicle's ignition switch to the "ON" position. Then unplug the ignition coil connector, use one end of the multimeter to measure pin 3 and the other end to measure the ground wire. If the voltage between the pin and the ground wire is around 12V, proceed to the next step; if not, check the wiring. 2. Unplug the ignition coil connector, use one end of the multimeter to measure pin 1 and the other end to measure pin 5# of the ECU to check for any short circuits or open circuits. If any are found, check the wiring; if not, proceed to the next step. 3. Unplug the ignition coil connector, use one end of the multimeter to measure pin 2 and the other end to measure pin 2# of the ECU to check for any short circuits or open circuits. If any are found, check the wiring; if not, proceed to the next step. 4. Use the multimeter to measure whether the resistance of the sensor's primary coil is 0.9Ω. If yes, proceed to the next step; if not, replace the ignition coil. 5. Use the multimeter to measure whether the resistance of the sensor's primary coil is 14.5Ω. If yes, proceed to the next step; if not, replace the ignition coil.
