The illumination of the vehicle stability control system indicator light indicates a potential malfunction in the electronic stability program (ESP). Owners should promptly send their vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Since ESP is not an independent system and typically shares sensors with other electronic devices such as ABS and TCS, the ESP warning light may also be triggered by malfunctions in these related systems. The ESP system primarily consists of three major components: sensors, actuators, and the electronic control unit (ECU). Sensors generally include wheel speed sensors, steering wheel angle sensors, lateral acceleration sensors, yaw rate sensors, and brake master cylinder pressure sensors. Actuators typically comprise conventional braking systems and hydraulic modulators. The electronic control unit works in conjunction with the engine management system, enabling intervention and adjustment of engine power output.

Can engine oil still be used after being opened for one year?

It is best not to use engine oil that has been opened for one year. Once opened, the oil is exposed to air and comes into contact with water molecules and oxygen, which degrades its quality and shortens its service life. Here are some precautions for using engine oil: 1. The storage environment for engine oil must be dry and free from sunlight. If not in use, try to keep it unopened to prevent oxidation. If the oil has been opened, you can seal the bottle opening with a layer of plastic wrap and tighten the cap. 2. Never use expired engine oil. Using expired oil can cause significant damage to internal engine components. Even if expired oil retains some lubricating properties, it cannot maintain its original effectiveness and fails to meet the engine's operational requirements.

Why is there a noise after washing the car when braking?

During car washing, water enters the wheel's brake drum, and sand particles may also splash onto the brake pads along with the water, causing noise when braking. Here is more relevant information: 1. Solution: It is recommended not to park the car immediately after washing. Instead, consciously drive a certain distance and perform braking several times to expel the water from the brake drum and prevent the issue. 2. Daily maintenance of the braking system: Clean, high-quality brake fluid is fundamental to safety and the proper functioning of the braking system. Purchase high-quality brake fluid available on the market. If the brake fluid is already dirty, drain and flush the entire system, then refill the master cylinder with new fluid. Do not reuse brake fluid; all brake fluid drained from the system should be discarded.
