Possible reasons are as follows: poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket; failure of the speed control handle; power signal system failure. Below are detailed explanations of the specific reasons: 1. Poor contact between the battery power output plug and socket: Generally, it may be caused by wear and oxidation over time, leading to poor internal circuit contact. 2. Failure of the speed control handle: Usually, it's due to poor contact among the three wires inside the speed control handle, typically red, gray, and black, or red, green, and black, with the gray or green wire being the output signal line of the handle. It's best to cut off the middle connector of the speed control handle's connecting wires, reconnect them according to the color difference, and then wrap them securely with insulating tape for foolproof safety. 3. Power signal system failure: If the electric vehicle is highly intelligent, it may also experience power loss. This is mainly manifested in damage to the ignition lock or poor contact between the controller and the ignition lock signal line. The simplest solution is to activate the keyless function.

I've also experienced sudden power loss while driving a new energy vehicle. It happened on the highway and I was so scared that I immediately pulled over. The most common causes are either the battery running out of power instantly or a blown fuse in the high-voltage system. Think about it - electric vehicles mainly rely on large batteries for power. If there's an error in the Battery Management System (BMS), or if charging is interrupted midway causing voltage instability, it can trigger power loss. Additionally, loose wiring or short circuits are major hazards, especially when driving on bumpy roads that can shake connectors. If this happens, don't panic. First turn on hazard lights and find a safe place to park. Check the dashboard for error codes, such as battery warnings or system failure alerts. Then try restarting the vehicle - sometimes a simple reboot can restore normal operation. If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact a professional repair shop for towing and inspection. For daily maintenance, pay attention to regular battery care. Don't wait until it's completely drained to recharge. You can install an APP to monitor battery health, which can significantly reduce sudden risks. Remember, safety first - don't take risks by forcing the vehicle to keep running!

What Causes a Gasoline Car to Emit Black Smoke?

When a car emits black smoke, it is often due to uneven or excessive fuel supply from the high-pressure fuel pump across the cylinders. This can cause unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. The issue should be addressed by adjusting the fuel supply to achieve balance or keep it within the specified range. Additionally, malfunctioning or damaged fuel injectors can lead to insufficient fuel atomization, resulting in black smoke. In such cases, the injectors need to be inspected and replaced. Below are the reasons and solutions for a car emitting black smoke: 1. Check if the air filter is clogged, if there is any leakage in the intake pipe (which may cause the engine to produce a sharp whistling sound under increased load), or if the turbocharger is damaged. 2. The solution involves inspecting whether the turbine wheel and compressor wheel blades are damaged and ensuring they rotate smoothly and flexibly.

What brand of tires does the Boyue use?

The Boyue uses two types of tires. The mid-to-low trim models are equipped with Giti Comfort-SUV520 tires, while another option is the Cooper Discoverer-HTS tires. Both tires share the same size: 225/65-R18. Here are the details: 1. The Giti Comfort SUV520 is a high-performance SUV tire that balances handling, comfort, and safety. It features 3B stiffness balancing technology, combined with an optimized shoulder tread block and transverse groove configuration, ensuring even tread contact pressure distribution for improved handling stability and grip performance. The use of high-grip synthetic rubber with nano-reinforced carbon black and high-performance silica materials, along with four wide longitudinal grooves on the tread, effectively enhances wet braking performance, reduces braking distance, enables rapid water drainage at high speeds, and improves tire grip. 2. The Cooper Discoverer-HTS is a tire developed for mid-to-high-end urban SUV models and is the most affordable option in Cooper's urban SUV tire lineup. This tire emphasizes handling comfort and quiet performance, excelling in both handling and comfort/noise reduction, making it a well-balanced SUV tire.

Why Does the Car Clutch Become Lower?

Reasons why a car clutch becomes lower: 1. There is air inside the clutch system, or leakage in the clutch master or slave cylinder; 2. The clutch cable is low, and there is an adjusting screw at the front end of the clutch cable—sometimes if it loosens, the clutch becomes lower; 3. The impact of a low car clutch: if adjusted too low, it can affect the separation gap, causing the car to start in a semi-clutch state, leading to clutch wear, and making gear shifting difficult. The clutch functions like a switch, engaging or disengaging power transmission. The clutch mechanism allows the driving and driven parts to temporarily separate and gradually engage, with the possibility of relative rotation during transmission. A rigid connection cannot be used between the driving and driven parts of the clutch.

Reasons for Detected Misfire in Cylinder 4 (P0304)

p0304 detected misfire in cylinder 4 can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Spark Plug: Poor spark plug firing. 2. Piston Ring: Damaged piston rings leading to low cylinder pressure. 3. Ignition Coil: Internal damage to the ignition coil. 4. Timing Mechanism: Incorrect timing or skipped teeth in the timing mechanism. 5. Engine: Engine computer damage or fault code issues. The troubleshooting methods are: Check the cylinder pressure of each cylinder to ensure it is normal; most vehicles have a cylinder pressure of around 1300 kPa. Address any cylinders with abnormal pressure. Inspect the spark plug firing condition, the size of the free gap, whether the ceramic area has cracks, and if it has been punctured. Replace any damaged spark plugs. Check if the timing marks on the timing belt or timing chain align correctly. If misaligned, disassemble the timing mechanism and realign the timing marks. Try replacing the ignition coil to see if the issue is resolved.

What to Do When the Braking System Malfunctions?

Solutions for braking system malfunctions: 1. If you notice that the brake pedal does not rise when pressed and there is no resistance, check if the brake fluid is low and top it up promptly. It could also be due to a malfunction in the brake wheel cylinder, pipelines, or connectors, which requires repair. 2. If the braking effect is poor when the brake pedal is pressed all the way down or during continuous braking, it indicates the presence of air in the braking system, necessitating bleeding. 3. If the pedal position is very low and does not rise after being pressed, and it feels stiff, this is caused by a blockage in the master cylinder, which needs to be cleared.
