Why does the PS warning light come on in Japanese cars and the engine won't start?

The PS indicator on the car dashboard shows the steering wheel lock status, and this light should disappear after starting the engine. There are many reasons why a car may fail to start. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Fuel quality issues: Always refuel at reputable gas stations. When traveling, you can use a gauze wrapped around the fuel nozzle to filter impurities. 2. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners use water or low-quality antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions. This may lead to cracked engine blocks, inoperable water pumps, starting failure, and damage to other engine components. 3. Carbon buildup: Carbon deposits in the vehicle can also prevent the engine from starting. The solution is to frequently drive at highway speeds to reduce carbon accumulation. Additionally, here's a useful tip for starting difficulties: Before turning the ignition key, first turn it to the ON position, then back slightly, before turning to the START position to ignite. This allows the computer system to calculate the appropriate water temperature and air intake, making ignition smoother.
