Why is the Tire Pressure Warning Light On?

The reasons for the tire pressure warning light being on are as follows: 1. A punctured tire causing the tire pressure monitoring light to illuminate: This situation usually involves a very slow leak. If it's difficult to identify which tire is affected immediately, you can use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure (recommended: front tires 2.3 bar, rear tires 2.5 bar). If the pressure is low, inflate the tire and then observe the warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, the tire may need to be removed for inspection. 2. Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light comes on due to overinflation: According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended inflation pressures for passenger car tires are: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it may trigger the tire pressure monitoring light.

What are the functions of various engine sensors?

Introduction to the functions of various engine sensors is as follows: 1. Odometer sensor: Located on the differential or half-shaft, this sensor detects the number of rotations, generally using Hall effect or photoelectric methods to measure signals. Its purpose is to effectively analyze and determine the vehicle's speed and mileage by counting the odometer readings. Since the angular velocity of the half-shaft and wheels is equal, and the tire radius is known, the mileage can be directly calculated using this parameter. 2. Oil pressure sensor: Typically, the oil pressure sensor is used to detect the remaining amount of oil in the vehicle's oil tank. It converts the detected signal into an understandable signal to alert the driver about how much oil is left, how much farther the vehicle can travel, or even remind the driver to add oil. 3. Water temperature sensor: The electronic control unit (ECU) measures the engine coolant temperature based on changes detected by this sensor, using it as a correction signal for fuel injection and ignition timing. This allows the driver to understand the operating state of the vehicle, such as whether it is stopped or moving, or how long it has been running, by monitoring the engine's water temperature. 4. ABS sensor: The ABS system works to ensure that the brake pistons and brake discs do not lock up, keeping them at the edge between sliding friction and static friction. Most ABS systems use inductive sensors to monitor wheel speed. The ABS sensor interacts with a toothed ring that rotates synchronously with the wheel, outputting a set of quasi-sinusoidal AC signals whose frequency and amplitude are related to the wheel speed. This output signal is sent to the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) to enable real-time monitoring of wheel speed.

Which Mazda Model Uses a Rotary Engine?

Mazda RX series utilizes rotary engines. Other models do not employ rotary engines. Both rotary and conventional engines rely on the expansion pressure generated by the combustion of air-fuel mixture to power the vehicle, with the difference lying in how they utilize this expansion pressure. Here are more details about rotary engines: 1. Traditional engines transmit pressure from the piston top downward, transferring mechanical force through connecting rods to rotate the crankshaft, whereas rotary engines apply expansion pressure to the sides of the rotor. Rotary engines can achieve high RPMs without requiring precise crankshaft balancing, and they feature compact size, lighter weight, and significantly simplified structure. 2. Rotary engines demonstrate excellent performance in hydrogen power applications, indicating substantial potential. 3. Rotary engines are prone to oil leakage issues, which are difficult to repair. Once leakage occurs, maintenance becomes a major undertaking.
