8 signs indicated that the car will fail

Now more and more people have cars, but very few people understand the car, many owners fear the car suddenly go wrong, but do not know how to use OBD Diagnostic Tool to detect car. Then the car suddenly go wrong before What are the signs? Summed up the car before the failure of eight abnormal symptom.

1, the working conditions mutation
The working condition of car suddenly appear abnormal phenomenon, it is easier to detect fault symptom. For example: engine stalling and start is difficult, can't even start; Engine on the road suddenly drops, driving weakness; The road suddenly brake failure or wandering, or even failure, etc.

2, abnormal sound
Cars appeared abnormal sound in the process of moving, a car failure "alarm", the driver should immediately stop using the Launch X431 PAD or Launch X431 Cresetter tool to check. Especially the chassis, engine, suspension system abnormal sound coming from the most important.

3, exhaust abnormal color
When the engine work, exhaust smoke should be obvious. If you exhaust the other colors appear, it may be the engine abnormal, such as incomplete combustion exhaust was black, oil water blending in tail gas of a white, burning oil exhaust was blue.

4, oil spills
Leakage refers to the phenomenon of oil leakage in the fuel, oil, brake fluid, etc.. It is also obvious symptoms of failure, careful observation can be found. The car was removed after a period of time, there will be a piece of oil on the ground.

5, overheating
Usually it occurs in the engine, transmission, differential and brakes assembly. For example, engine overheating, mostly for the cooling system has a problem, is the lack of coolant or the pump does not work; transmission overheating, mostly due to lack of lubricants; brake overheating, brake shoes, mostly caused not return. The above phenomenon sometimes dashboard warning lights reflected directly, when the driver needs to drive observe.

6, inexplicably increased fuel consumption
Fuel and oil consumption is too high, indicating that the engine fails, we need to check service as soon as possible.

7, strange odor
Cars In operation, if the brake dragging clutch slip fault, will emit a friction plate of burnt; engine overheating, lubricating oil blow-by combustion, it will emit a special smell; a short circuit, grounding there will be a coke burnt smell the wire burned.

8, the appearance of abnormal posture
Cars parked on a flat site, use Autel MaxiScan JP701 or XTOOL VAG401 tool check appearance condition, if any horizontal or vertical skew phenomenon, namely abnormal appearance. Cause is that the frame, body, suspension, tires or other failures, which would cause instability when traveling direction, wandering, weight transfer fault.

Replace the automobile ATF fluid matters needing attention

Due to the popularity of cars, so many people will be familiar to car maintenance, but some people are not very understanding, so the use of Auto Diagnostic Tool maintenance vehicles, for some small details do not in place.

Replace automatic gearbox transmission fluid, it is often said that ATF fluid. Most of the cars are highly sophisticated automatic transmission power transmission device, mostly controlled by computer, equipped with a lot of precision components: torque converter, a sun gear, a planetary gear and a complex and fine oil passages and, it is very sensitive to temperature changes and other pollutants. If there is no maintenance, automatic transmission will be difficult and other gear shift. And most of the automatic transmission failure is caused by the transmission fluid pollution.

In the replacement of transmission fluid will generally in hydraulic variable torque converter and transmission cooling pipe is provided with a residual, and the residual amount is more, even with the new then residues were old contamination. In this case the use of automatic transmission cleaning agent completely remove the old fluid, to ensure that no residual old transmission fluid, can completely replace the new transmission fluid.

Under normal circumstances, each driving 50,000 kilometers, it should be connected to the device and the car's power, and the use of the Launch X431 PAD or Launch X431 V+ Pro3 adapter to connect the device and the transmission cooling tube. Start the car and let the engine is running at idle, then add the automatic transmission cleaner, slam the brakes, in order to remove harmful substances, and one by one, replace all gear of the automatic transmission, and finally with the help of automatic transmission oil equipment comprehensive replacement.

If you want an automatic transmission protective agent is added, it is preferably added in the proportion of 5% of this, If it is used for a long time, then it is best to add some stop leakage, to prevent the aging of transmission seals can also achieve the purpose of preventing leakage.

So, for the transmission fluid is a small thing, which can be a lot of things to note, the owner replaced when we must pay more attention to, and need to use professional Autel Maxidiag Elite MD701 or XTOOL VAG401 tools to detect car.

Five major signs of tyre failure

When driving the tires have to withstand the pressure from the road surface. Tire wear occurs often does not mean your driving habits problems exist, but this kind of phenomenon but a normal driving inevitable fact, tire wear will gradually aging, and ultimately lose grip. If the vehicle during tire fails, the consequences would be disastrous. When you use Auto Diagnostic Tool to check his car tire whether is deformed or performance degradation of the situation, you can replace them with new tires and avoid failure. Here we will give five warning signal, tip you have the time to change the tire.

1. The tire tread depth
The thickness of the tread must be greater than 1.6 mm, if you often driving on slippery roads on low friction, it is best to ensure the tread thickness is twice the above values. You can purchase a meter to measure the thickness of the tread pattern.

2. tread wear indicator lines
The new tyres have more than one human nature design in the past: tread wear indicator. When the tire is very new or very low degree of wear, these indicator line hardly be found, but to reach a certain degree of wear of the tread these hidden ravine in the line indicated on the show out. Tread wear indicator line is flat rubber with tread longitudinal vertical embedded in the tread ravine. When you use the Launch X431 V+ Pro3 or Launch X431 Diagun III tool to check tire found one to two lines indicating the time, indicating that the tread thickness has been reduced a lot, in this case driving on slippery surfaces should be careful of. If almost all instruction lines are clearly visible on the tire, which means you need to replace the tires as soon as possible.

3. The tire sidewall cracks
The problems on the tyres are not all focused on the tread, and there will be some problems with the tire sidewall. By observing the tire sidewall to find those directly visible to the naked eye crack and cut. These tiny grooves on the tire indicates future cracks leak may occur, and worse even trigger a tyre blowout, the faulty tyres are we strongly want to avoid. So on the tire sidewall crack looks serious, or the cars to a garage as soon as possible replacement tires.

4. Bulge and blistering on tire
In some cases, the outer surface of the tire because of insufficient strength, resulting in higher than normal tire surface projections and foaming. If you failed to timely detection of the vehicle to the repair plant tire failure, intensity of tire surface area is likely to cause sudden burst, high-speed tire blowout even lead to ride under the personnel serious injuries.

5. Excessive vibration and jitter
Vehicle front row during a certain amount of jitter is inevitable, especially in the conditions of poor road conditions. When you already have some driving experience, you can judge for themselves what kind of feelings within reasonable limits of jitter and jitter illustrate how faulty vehicles. Many vehicle shake incentives may exist or the uneven tire axial displacement, it may be a shock absorber problem. But jitter may indicate some problems with the tire inside; even if the tires are not the root cause of the vehicle wobbled also damage the performance of the tire, causing the tire problem shortly afterwards. So if your car there are more serious jitter, jitter appear on the roads especially good roads, once the vehicle to the repair shop use Autel MaxiScan JP701 or XTOOL VAG401 tool check it. Always bear in mind, a greater degree of jitter is often a harbinger of vehicle breakdowns.

Honda car air conditioning refrigeration malfunction maintenance

Honda automobile air conditioning refrigeration failure phenomenon. After filling refrigerant. Open air conditioning, on the electromagnetic clutch compressor suction no, idle speed is high and low (850 r/min to 1100 r/min), the fan rotation is normal, but poor refrigeration, you can see the real-time data by OBD Diagnostic Tool.

Detection of electromagnetic clutch of the compressor line, the voltage is normal. After the failure of the circuit is determined, the high and low pressure port of the air conditioning system is measured by using multi meter.. As a result, the pressure at high and low pressure is abnormal, and the pressure is high and low, and under the Launch X431 Diagun III or Xtool PS2 tool checked, the engine was found to rotate abnormally. Ask the driver, there is no phenomenon before the refrigerant filled, and then suspect that there may be too many refrigerants.

Gradually sucked out of a portion of the refrigerant, the engine speed changes observed in the tool to see a few bubble, accelerate to 1700 r/min when bubbles disappear, troubleshooting.

When the air conditioning system of the refrigerant injected too much, it will reduce the flow of refrigerant in the system performance, causing the compressor malfunction, poor refrigeration, the engine idle speed instability, You can check with the Autel MaxiSys MS908 or XTOOL VAG401 tool before you inject the refrigerant, and it will remind you how many refrigerants you should add.

Cleaning the car air conditioning condenser matters needing attention

For their own health, some owners will clean car air condensers, that's right, if you do not know how long it cleaned once, you can use the OBD Diagnostic Tool testing the performance of the automobile air conditioning, but on the cleaning agent to pay attention, the best use condenser cleaning agent.

Condenser cleaning agent safety environmental strong detergents, can dissolve quickly remove all kinds of heat transfer equipment and pipe scale, rust and other deposits, carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, iron and other metal almost no corrosion, different cleaning requirements can be used to clean the object with different proportions to achieve optimal results. After washing finished, use the XTOOL PS2 or XTOOL VAG401 tool to check the performance of the car.

According fouling situation, diluted 1 - 10 times the use does not affect the cleaning effect, but will extend the cleaning time. Can be used to clean all the circulation, can also be used for soaking and scrubbing. Even for a long time and a metal contact nor on metal corrosion.

If you use other cleaning agents, may be due to high alkaline ingredients, and damage to some of the components, so be sure to choose the right cleaning detergent, in peacetime, you can use the Autoboss V30 SPX or Xtool PS100 tool to check car various components, to see whether you need to replace the to avoid accidents.
