The reason why the ETC working light is not on may be due to ETC device damage or insufficient power. The ETC device relies on solar charging. You can park the vehicle in a sunny place for a while, reinsert the card once, and check whether the device display can function normally. If there is still no response, please go to a service outlet for troubleshooting, repair, or replacement. More details are as follows: 1. As for how to test ETC sensing, since general users do not have specialized signal testing equipment, it is difficult to do so. The simplest ETC signal testing method is to drive the vehicle into the ETC lane at a speed of less than 20km/h. If the sensing distance is 8-10 meters, it indicates good signal. 2. As for how to test ETC with a mobile phone, in fact, mobile phones with NFC function have ETC card reading function and can also be used for ETC card recharge, but generally cannot test ETC device signals.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration While Driving?

Reasons for steering wheel vibration during driving: 1. When the steering wheel vibrates while driving, this is mostly caused by tire issues. 2. An uneven mass distribution across different parts of the tire can create wheel imbalance during high-speed rotation, leading to significant steering wheel vibration. 3. This situation requires performing a four-wheel alignment and wheel balancing for the tires, and severe cases may even require tire replacement. 4. Besides tire-related causes, potential reasons may include shock absorber failure, frame deformation, excessive backlash in the final drive's pinion and ring gear meshing, etc.

What are the impacts of poor heat dissipation on a car?

Problems caused by poor heat dissipation in car engines and car air conditioning systems: 1. The engine water temperature gauge shows excessively high readings. 2. The electronic fan operates at high speed for prolonged periods. 3. Increased engine noise. 4. Most noticeable faults when using air conditioning in high-temperature conditions. 5. Unstable idle speed with excessive RPM fluctuations, weak acceleration, and abnormal engine noises. 6. Difficulty starting the engine. 7. Automatic engine shutdown may occur while driving when the engine is hot. 8. Air conditioning provides strong cooling when the engine is cold but poor cooling when the engine is hot. 9. Loud resonance humming sounds in the air conditioning system. 10. Frequent engagement and disengagement of the air conditioning compressor clutch during hot idle, or even complete disconnection, resulting in no cooling from the air conditioning when the engine is hot.

How Often Should the Cabin Air Filter and Engine Air Filter Be Replaced?

Below are the recommended replacement intervals for cabin air filters and engine air filters: 1. The cabin air filter is typically recommended to be replaced every six months. However, this can vary depending on the driving environment. If the environment is relatively humid or prone to heavy smog, the replacement interval may be shortened accordingly. 2. The engine air filter should be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Here is some additional information about cabin air filters: 1. The cabin air filter is installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system. It helps absorb dust particles, reduces respiratory discomfort, minimizes irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. 2. The engine air filter, also known as an air filter cartridge, air cleaner, or air element, is primarily used for air filtration in engineering vehicles, automobiles, agricultural machinery, laboratories, sterile operating rooms, and various precision operation rooms.

Will a tire pressure of 3.0 cause a blowout in summer?

Will a tire pressure of 3.0 cause a blowout in summer? According to the regulations and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5bar. A pressure of 3.0bar exceeds the maximum value of the standard tire pressure, making it abnormal. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; It accelerates the wear of the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan; Increased body vibration indirectly affects the lifespan of other components; Excessive tension on the tire cords can reduce the elasticity of the tire body, increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreased puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks and blowouts due to impact.

What are the consequences of driving with the handbrake engaged?

Driving with the handbrake engaged can affect the lifespan of the brake discs or brake pads. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. Since braking components generally rely on friction for braking, driving with the handbrake engaged will cause the temperature of these components to rise rapidly. If the handbrake is not released promptly, it may lead to overheating of the tires. 2. If you encounter driving with the handbrake engaged and notice a strong burning smell or smoke coming from the rear of the car, you should immediately slow down, brake, and release the handbrake. For safe driving, always check the car's condition before starting the engine. 3. Correct method: Develop proper driving habits. Before driving, always check if the handbrake is released and pay attention to the dashboard. The dashboard provides the most comprehensive information. By regularly observing the dashboard and heeding warning lights, you can avoid driving with the handbrake engaged.

What are the main components of an automatic transmission?

An automatic transmission consists of a torque converter, gear train, oil supply system, automatic shift control system, and shift operating mechanism. Below is a partial introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. The working principle of an automatic transmission is: it uses planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears, automatically adjusting the gear ratio based on the degree of throttle pedal input and changes in vehicle speed. 2. Common types of automatic transmissions include: hydraulic automatic transmissions, continuously variable transmissions (CVT), electronically controlled mechanical automatic transmissions, and dual-clutch transmissions. Their characteristics include easy operation, comfortable driving, and reduced driver fatigue. Hydraulic automatic transmissions achieve gear shifting through a combination of hydraulic power transmission and planetary gears.
