Reasons for the failure of the EA888 engine oil pressure switch function: It may be due to poor contact switch operation or grounding of the wiring harness. Symptoms of the fault: After the engine starts and the oil pressure reaches the specified value, the indicator light remains on. Solution: Promptly visit a repair shop for servicing to avoid affecting driving safety. The following is relevant information: 1. The engine oil pressure switch is used to detect whether there is oil pressure in the engine. It consists of a diaphragm, spring, and contacts. The oil pressure indicator light is installed in the combination instrument panel, and the pressure switch is installed on the engine's lubrication circuit. 2. Inside the pressure switch, there is a diaphragm that moves under oil pressure and contacts that operate under oil pressure. When the oil pressure is below the specified value, the diaphragm does not have the force to push the spring, the contacts close, and the indicator light turns on. When the oil pressure is above the specified value, the diaphragm pushes the spring, the contacts separate, and the indicator light turns off, indicating to the driver that the oil pressure has reached the specified value. Under normal conditions, the contact operating pressure ranges between 30~50 kPa.

What is the difference between SP and SN engine oil grades?

The differences between SP and SN engine oil grades are as follows: 1. Viscosity level (phosphorus content): SN oil has relatively lower phosphorus content; and in terms of viscosity comparison between SN and SP, SP has a slightly higher viscosity value. 2. Different advantages: SP oil provides a stronger oil film than SN, offering better protective performance. Additionally, SP shows stable improvements over SN in terms of noise reduction, fuel consumption, and acceleration performance. Methods for selecting engine oil are as follows: 1. Choose the appropriate oil based on engine type: Naturally aspirated engine models can use mineral oil, which fully meets the needs of such engines. Turbocharged engines should opt for semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil to better protect the engine. 2. Select according to oil specifications: Since each car brand's engine is different, the easiest way is to refer directly to the vehicle's manual, which provides the most standard and accurate method.

How are motor vehicles allowed to proceed at intersections with this type of signal light?

Green arrows indicate that vehicles are permitted to proceed in the direction pointed by the arrow; red arrows indicate that vehicles are prohibited from proceeding in the direction pointed by the arrow; yellow arrows indicate that the direction pointed by the arrow functions as a yellow light for vehicles. Additional knowledge about signal lights is as follows: 1. History: Traffic signal lights were invented by African American Garrett Morgan in 1923. Prior to this, railway traffic had already been using automatically switching light signals for some time. However, since trains operate on a fixed schedule in a single-file manner and stopping them is not easy, the signals used on railways only had one command: proceed. Road traffic signal lights are different; their primary responsibility is largely to instruct vehicle drivers to stop. 2. Types: These include traffic signal lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, and the directions of traffic police. The country implements a unified road traffic signal system.

What are the common faults in automotive turbochargers?

Common faults in automotive turbochargers include: 1. Foreign object entry into the turbocharger: This may be caused by poor sealing of the intake pipe, allowing unfiltered air to enter the compressor impeller directly, failure to replace the air filter as required, or foreign objects entering the turbocharger intake pipe during maintenance. 2. Radial damage to the turbine by foreign objects: Damage to components within the diesel engine cylinder, foreign objects entering the exhaust manifold during maintenance, ultimately leading to rotor seizure or shaft breakage. 3. Contaminated turbocharger lubricating oil: The engine uses an oil filter that does not meet specifications, or inferior filter elements are used. During operation, the filter element may be punctured or the engine's main oil passage filter may become clogged, and the lubricating oil is not replaced as required. 4. Insufficient or aged turbocharger lubricating oil: Failure to replace the lubricating oil as required, or the use of inferior lubricating oil.

What does it mean when the car body sweeps the line during reverse parking?

Reverse parking with the car body sweeping the line is due to improper operation. Head tilted to the left: When driving, reverse slowly with your head tilted to the left, observing the position of the yellow line outside the window. When you feel the yellow line intersects with the corner of the window's lower edge, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the right. Head tilted to the right: After turning the steering wheel all the way, continue reversing. Tilt your head to the right and observe the car's door handle in the right rearview mirror. When the distance between the door handle and the yellow line's corner gradually decreases until they overlap, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left. Continue reversing: Continue reversing while observing the left rearview mirror. When the car body is parallel to the yellow line, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing slowly. When the lower edge of the rearview mirror just covers the left exit line, step on the brake.

Where is the EcoSport's cabin air filter located?

The EcoSport's cabin air filter is installed behind the glove box on the passenger side. The replacement method for the EcoSport's cabin air filter is as follows: 1. Pinch the two yellow clips and twist them downward; when reinstalling, simply press them back into place. 2. Remove the cabin air filter cover by pressing both sides and pulling it off; when installing, align it and push it back into position. 3. Pull out the cabin air filter. The installation angle of the cabin air filter is quite tricky, but there's no need to worry too much about deformation when pulling it out or installing it. The filter will naturally unfold once properly positioned, without affecting its performance. Additional information about the EcoSport: 1. The new EcoSport is equipped with either a 1.5L or a 1.0T engine, primarily targeting the affordable small SUV market. 2. The interior of the EcoSport largely follows the main structure of the Fiesta, with improvements and refinements in some details, enhancing both visual appeal and practicality.
