Why does a large F appear on the HOWO dashboard?
2 Answers
The reason for a large F appearing on the HOWO dashboard is that the coolant level is too low. Below is relevant information about automobiles: Definition of an automobile: According to the latest national standard in China, "Terms and Definitions of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T3730.1—2001), an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods; or for special purposes. Introduction to domestic automobile brands: Domestic automobile brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
I've encountered this situation before - a big 'F' suddenly appeared on the dashboard while driving a long-haul truck, which gave me quite a scare. This usually indicates a generator issue. If the generator fails, the battery won't charge, and the vehicle may suddenly stall, which is very dangerous. I recommend stopping to check the battery voltmeter first. If the reading is low, contact a repair station immediately. It could be caused by a loose belt or poor generator wiring connection leading to a short circuit. Remember to maintain generator components regularly, and always monitor the temperature gauge while driving - overheating can also trigger such failures. Address the issue early to avoid breaking down midway, which would waste both time and effort.
