Why does the Roewe 550 show no response when starting and display engine not working?
3 Answers
Roewe 550 shows no response when starting and displays engine not working because the P gear cannot be disengaged. Below is relevant information about the Roewe 550: 1. Exterior: The new Roewe 550 continues the highly praised design of the classic model, with further sharpened local lines, exuding a youthful and dynamic vibe. At the same time, the design of the bumper, headlights, and taillights adds much brilliance and a cutting-edge feel. 2. Interior: More curves and softer treatments are applied, making the overall feel smoother and more natural, while the matte plating greatly enhances visual pleasure. The center console is slightly raised compared to the older model, bringing the operation interface closer to the driver and passengers, resulting in a more comfortable control experience.
I've seen many cases where the Roewe 550 fails to start, usually due to issues in a few common areas. The most frequent problem is battery-related—either from prolonged inactivity or aging circuits leading to a dead battery that can't jump-start. Second, there could be an ignition system fault, such as carbon buildup on the spark plugs or broken spark plug wires, preventing the gasoline from igniting. Third, the fuel pump might be faulty, failing to deliver gasoline to the engine, making it impossible to start. Fourth, the anti-theft system could be locked, possibly due to key matching issues or signal interference, causing the car to suspect theft. Fifth, the ECU control unit might malfunction, with sensors like the crankshaft position sensor failing, directly triggering an error and preventing operation. It's advisable to first check if the battery terminals are corroded or loose and use a multimeter to measure the voltage. If that doesn't work, take it to a professional repair shop to scan for error codes with a diagnostic tool—avoid tampering yourself to prevent circuit damage.
My car is a Roewe 550, and it had the same issue last time. When starting, the dashboard showed the engine wasn't working, with no response at all. After struggling for a while, I found it was a minor problem: the anti-theft system was accidentally activated because the remote key battery was too weak to receive signals. Restarting the system or using a different key solved it. Another common cause is a clogged fuel injector, where gasoline condenses in low winter temperatures, and heavy carbon buildup blocks it. I've also heard from a friend who encountered rusty battery terminals, and a jump-start fixed it. If it happens on the road, don't panic—first check if the fuel tank is empty. The safest option is to call a tow truck to take it to a 4S shop for a full inspection, avoiding small issues turning into costly major repairs.
