When my car makes loud noises, there are usually several common reasons. For example, an aging engine or lack of oil can make the engine sound louder, as if it's protesting; severely worn tires or uneven tire pressure can cause a rumbling noise, especially noticeable at high speeds; if the muffler in the exhaust system is cracked, it can produce an explosive-like noise, which often occurs in humid conditions; additionally, suspension components like failed shock absorbers or worn bearings can cause a continuous humming sound that worsens when turning. I recommend starting with the simpler checks, such as inspecting tire condition and oil levels, as regular maintenance can reduce these issues. Noise is not a minor issue—it often signals potential dangers. Addressing it promptly can prevent more serious failures, such as conducting a thorough inspection before long-distance drives.

What Are the Reasons for a Car's Cooling Fan Not Working?

Air filter clogging, coolant deficiency, and heater core blockage are among the reasons that can cause a car's cooling fan not to work. Air Filter Clogging: If the heater is not producing enough heat, first check the air filter to see if it is dirty or clogged. A dirty air filter can affect the temperature of the heater. If it is too dirty, the airflow may be weak, making it hard to notice. Coolant Deficiency: If the antifreeze level is low, it can also cause the heater to not produce enough heat. This is because the heater utilizes the heat from the antifreeze. Hot antifreeze flows into the heater core, heating it up, and the air passing through the heater core becomes warm. If there is insufficient antifreeze, the amount reaching the heater core decreases, preventing it from heating up properly, resulting in less warm air. Heater Core Blockage: If the heater core is blocked, antifreeze cannot flow into it or flows in very little. As a result, the heater core does not heat up, and the air passing through it remains cold. If the blockage is severe, repairs can be complicated, often requiring the removal of the entire dashboard to access it. Car Cooling System Maintenance Methods: Regular Radiator Cleaning: Rust and scale can restrict the flow of coolant in the cooling system, reducing its cooling efficiency and causing the engine to overheat, potentially leading to engine damage. Therefore, it is essential to clean the radiator periodically to remove rust and scale. Regular Oil and Filter Replacement: The quality of any grade of lubricating oil deteriorates over time. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level, generally up to the upper mark on the dipstick. Maintain Good Crankcase Ventilation: Most gasoline engines are equipped with a PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve. However, contaminants from blow-by gases can accumulate around the PCV valve, causing it to clog. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the area around the PCV valve regularly to remove contaminants.

What does an exclamation mark with a bracket illuminated on the car mean?

Red exclamation mark (specifically, an exclamation mark inside a circled bracket) represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating a braking system fault, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below a bracket. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

Do You Need to Observe Traffic Lights When Making a Right Turn Without a Right-Turn Signal?

Generally, yes. Under normal driving conditions, drivers are required to wait for traffic lights when making a right turn. However, not all roads require waiting for traffic lights when turning right. Some roads have signs indicating that vehicles are allowed to turn right when it is safe to do so. There are two types of traffic lights: circular traffic lights and arrow-shaped traffic lights. When making a right turn, if the traffic light is circular and there are no auxiliary signs prohibiting a right turn on red, you do not need to wait for the light to turn green to make a right turn. If the traffic light is arrow-shaped, you cannot make a right turn when the right-turn arrow is red. You can only turn right when the right-turn arrow turns green. Otherwise, you may be penalized by law enforcement for running a red light. Laws and Regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the regulations on traffic lights are as follows: Article 25, Paragraph 2 states that traffic signals include traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic markings, and the directions of traffic police. Article 26 specifies that traffic lights consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition, a green light indicates permission, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 38 requires that vehicles and pedestrians shall proceed according to traffic signals. If there is a traffic police officer directing traffic on-site, they shall follow the officer's directions. On roads without traffic signals, they shall proceed under the principle of ensuring safety and smooth traffic flow. Article 62 states that pedestrians crossing intersections or roads shall use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities. When crossing at a signalized crosswalk, they shall follow the traffic light signals. When crossing at an intersection without traffic signals or crosswalks, or when crossing a road segment without pedestrian facilities, they shall proceed only after confirming safety. Article 89 stipulates that pedestrians, passengers, and non-motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage shall be given a warning or fined between 5 and 50 yuan. Non-motor vehicle drivers who refuse to accept the fine may have their vehicles impounded. Motor vehicle drivers who violate traffic light signals will be penalized with 6 demerit points. Right-Turn Precautions: Observe oncoming straight-moving vehicles: When making a right turn, you must check both the right and left sides for oncoming traffic. Observe opposing left-turning vehicles: In addition to watching for straight-moving vehicles, you should also check for opposing left-turning vehicles. When turning right, yield to vehicles coming from the left, whether they are turning left or going straight. Watch for pedestrians: When making a right turn, be aware of crosswalks not only before the intersection but also at the corner. Always check for pedestrians on the crosswalk.

What does the ABS warning light in a car mean?

ABS light can illuminate in various states, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the vehicle's speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the speed and calculating the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose system wiring connections or faulty ABS relay contacts. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple electrical devices are used, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. This may also occur due to insufficient power supply voltage to the ABS system, such as poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding connection of the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connector of the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit malfunction. Solution: Loosen and retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: The ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals during high-speed driving; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, typically listed on the fuel tank cap label. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal and push the brake switch linkage fully downward with a finger, then release the pedal to complete self-positioning; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is not recommended to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, locked wheels may cause the vehicle to skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from slowing down or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.
