Carefully check whether it is machine-driven or an electronic display. Below is relevant information about the dashboard: 1. Introduction: The dashboard is a rigid plate or structural component used to install instruments and related devices. It can be categorized by type into screen-type dashboards, frame-type dashboards, channel-type dashboards, and cabinet-type dashboards. The dashboard can be equipped with external lighting and may also include a control console. It comes in various forms and specifications, allowing for the installation of different instruments as needed, or the combination of various dashboards into a single unit. 2. Types of indicator lights on the dashboard: door status indicator, parking indicator, various dashboard indicators, battery indicator, fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, turn signal indicators, high beam indicator, seat belt indicator, O/D gear indicator, recirculation indicator, width indicator, VSC indicator, TCS indicator, etc.

After replacing the car controller myself last time, I also encountered the issue of the dashboard not displaying speed. This is usually due to incompatibility between the new controller and the original car system or minor installation errors. For example, the speed signal is transmitted from the wheel speed sensor to the controller and then displayed on the dashboard. If the new controller is not properly matched with the wiring or software settings, the signal gets interrupted. I recommend you first check if the controller model matches the car's year and model, then inspect whether the sensor plug is securely connected or loose. A simple method is to restart the vehicle; sometimes a reset can restore functionality. If that doesn’t work, it’s best to use a multimeter to test the circuit continuity or have a professional shop reprogram it. Don’t underestimate this fault—it can impair driving judgment and easily lead to accidents. So, if you notice the problem, don’t push through; address it promptly to ensure safety. Based on my experience, most cases can be resolved by carefully reviewing the installation without spending much on repairs.

What Causes a Car to Emit Black Smoke While Driving?

Car emitting black smoke while driving is caused by: 1. Use of low-quality fuel; 2. Clogged air filter, resulting in an overly rich air-fuel mixture and insufficient oxygen supply to the engine, leading to incomplete combustion; 3. Spark plug leakage, weak high voltage, or poor sparking; 4. Poor driving habits during acceleration, insufficient cylinder pressure, or excessively low engine temperature. Solutions for a car emitting black smoke while driving include: 1. Repair or replace relevant components such as the air filter, fuel injector, valve seals, cylinder and piston assembly, and oxygen sensor; 2. Clean relevant components to prevent clogging, such as the air filter and fuel injector; 3. Change driving habits, as frequently flooring the accelerator will worsen and increase the occurrence of issues like black smoke emission.

What is the reason for the failure to switch between high and low speeds?

Possible reasons include staying in neutral for too short a time, which is the most common cause; another possibility is gear clash in the auxiliary box. Here are some additional details: 1. Inspection: If there is no high-gear start and the operation is correct, then thoroughly inspect the air pressure, air pipe, pre-selector valve, shift cylinder, auxiliary box shift fork, auxiliary box synchronizer, and auxiliary box drive gear. If no other issues are found, these can be disregarded. First, consider the shift cylinder and fuel tank synchronizer. 2. Precautions: It is recommended to switch between high and low gears only between 4th and 5th gears. Skipping gears when switching can cause severe wear on the auxiliary box synchronizer, leading to malfunctions. When parking, only park the vehicle in neutral in the low-gear range, meaning the shift lever's side knob should face downward. It is strictly prohibited to park and shut off the engine in neutral in the high-gear range, as this may cause serious malfunctions.

Is there a possibility of reversing on the highway without being caught by cameras?

It is almost impossible. According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, reversing or driving in the opposite direction on the highway not only results in a fine but also leads to a full deduction of 12 points in one instance. Below is some information about the driving test: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test. It is a written test conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90). 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted in a designated area, with only pass or fail results. It includes reversing into a garage, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. These five items are mandatory and conducted in sequence, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 80 or above (including 80). 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills test. It is a practical test conducted on a road or simulated area, with a full score of 100. The passing scores are 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safety and civilized driving-related knowledge. It is a written test with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above (including 90).

Is a 1.5L Car Engine Sufficient?

A 1.5L car engine is sufficient as long as the vehicle is not fully loaded. Climbing hills and overtaking can be quite effortless. However, if the driver frequently travels on highways or drives on mountainous roads, it is advisable to opt for a vehicle with a larger displacement. The 1.5L designation refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters. The working principle of a naturally aspirated engine is that it lacks a supercharger; air simply passes through the air filter, throttle, intake manifold, and reaches the cylinders. Gasoline is directly injected into the intake manifold via the fuel injector. The engine consists of: 1. Valve train; 2. Crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism; 3. Ignition system; 4. Cooling system; 5. Lubrication system; 6. Starting system; 7. Fuel supply system.

What causes engine knocking?

Engine knocking occurs due to the following reasons: 1. Carbon deposits in the combustion chamber; 2. Low octane rating of the fuel; 3. Incorrect ignition timing; 4. Overheating of the engine; 5. Incorrect air-fuel ratio. Solutions to engine knocking include: 1. Delaying the ignition timing; 2. Cleaning the fuel system and injectors; 3. Using qualified fuel additives; 4. Choosing fuel suitable for the engine's compression ratio; 5. Repairing or replacing the water pump. Engines are categorized by their working principles into piston engines, ramjet engines, rocket engines, and turbine engines. Their function is to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy by burning fuel in a sealed cylinder, causing the gas to expand and push the piston, thereby providing power to the vehicle.

Should the Car Air Conditioner Use Internal or External Circulation?

Whether to use internal or external circulation in a car's air conditioning depends on the situation: use internal circulation for short trips and external circulation for long trips. Internal and external circulation in cars refer to: 1. Internal circulation means the air conditioning system is closed to outside air and only recirculates the air inside the car; 2. External circulation means the car's air conditioning system is open to outside air, drawing in and circulating air from outside the car. The functions of a car's air conditioning are: 1. To cool, heat, ventilate, and purify the air inside the car; 2. To provide a comfortable environment for passengers, reduce driver fatigue, and improve driving safety.
