It will not affect the vehicle inspection. There are many cases where the engine malfunction light is triggered by abnormal oxygen sensor readings. Reasons for the engine malfunction light to illuminate: Irregular maintenance and poor driving habits can increase the engine's operational load, leading to sensor damage, poor contact, or signal interruption, causing the vehicle's ECU to inaccurately obtain engine data. Vehicle inspection items: Speedometer indication error inspection, vehicle chassis (pit) inspection, headlight inspection, steering wheel side slip inspection, wheel weight inspection, vehicle dynamic performance inspection. Environmental inspection (exhaust emission test), as long as the malfunction is unrelated to the above items, the annual inspection can proceed. If related, the issue must be repaired first before inspection.

When does the ABS system activate?

ABS system activates during heavy braking or braking on slippery roads. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which is equipped with a speed sensor on each wheel. These sensors input wheel speed signals into the electronic control unit (ECU), which monitors and judges the motion state of each wheel based on these signals and generates corresponding control commands. The functions of ABS system include: 1. Maximizing brake efficiency, reducing braking time and distance; 2. Effectively preventing vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. Allowing steering during emergency braking, maintaining good steering control; 4. Avoiding severe friction between tires and road surface, reducing tire wear.

Can the brake hold be pressed while driving?

brake hold cannot be pressed while driving. This is a parking assist function that automatically applies the brakes and can only be used when the car has come to a stop and needs to be parked. The electronic handbrake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes the parking braking technology through electronic control. The electronic handbrake uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which control parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.
