Automatic transmission cars not moving when shifted to D gear and accelerating is mainly due to: When the transmission shift valve position sensor signal is incorrect: The system cannot detect which gear it is in. If the shift valve malfunctions: The gear is not fully engaged, and the oil passage does not open. Here is some additional information: Automatic transmission cars typically use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.

Methods to determine if there is damage after hitting the undercarriage: 1. If you notice oil leakage or unusual noises after the impact, it may indicate damage; 2. It is recommended to drive the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. Most repair shops have undercarriage lifts, making it easy to identify any scratches or damage on the surface of the undercarriage once the vehicle is lifted. The undercarriage refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a car. It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal driving.

What does the car tire specification 205/55r16 mean?

Car tire specification 205/55r16 represents the tire's size parameters. 205 indicates the tire width is 205 millimeters, 55 represents the aspect ratio of 55, r stands for radial tire, and 16 means it can be mounted on a 16-inch rim. The functions of tires are: 1. Tires serve as the medium for force transmission between the vehicle and the road surface, transmitting driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling the car's driving, braking, and steering operations; 2. The vehicle's load causes the tire to compress until the average pressure of the tire's contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure; 3. To mitigate and absorb vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, preventing early damage to automotive components due to severe vibrations.
