Here's how the Check Engine Light works. When the OBD II system detects any fault that may cause an increase in emissions, it sets a "pending code" in the computer's memory. The Check Engine Light does not come on yet because the system needs to make sure the problem is real and no...
Insert your key and turn the ignition to the On position without starting the vehicle. Then, push the key into the ignition cylinder and (while holding it in) turn it to Off then On three times - making sure to end in the ON position. The reason to keep the key pressed in while tur...
As a matter of fact, some cars no longer require you to insert the key at all. An electronic fob’s mere presence is enough to use a push-button ignition on many current vehicles. In some new models, you are no longer dependent on the car key fob alone. Digital keys are the next ...
Capacitor-Discharge Ignitions (CDI): A capacitor is a large condenser. A CDI stores and delivers voltage to the coil using magnets, diodes, and a capacitor Transistor-Controlled Ignitions (TCI): Transistors are electronic controllers. A TCI uses transistors, resistors, and diodes to control the...
When working with CAN bus, you will need the ignition in the vehicle to be on so that the systems are communicating; the engine does not need to be running, there just needs to be power to devices such as the stereo and dashboard cluster. ...
Banner conclusion: No registration required but is recommended; a check of the electrical functions after changing the battery is recommended. Some car manufacturers, especially French manufacturers, have to wait a maximum of 5 minutes after changing the batteries before switching on the ignit...
3. Bad ABS pump or control module The ABS pump, also called Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), consists of an electronic and a mechanical-hydraulic part. When you brake hard at high speed and the wheels lock, the hydraulic part of the unit actuates the valves to reduce hydraulic pressure to ...
How To Check Fuel Pressure What Is The Arrow Symbol On The Fuel Indicator? Wrong ignition timing Without a spark, there would be no way for the air and fuel mixture to ignite in the engine’s chamber, causing combustion.The spark plugs will transmit an electrical signal from the ignition ...
Method 1:Using Bug detectors/GPS Detectors/Electronic Sweepers Many GPS tracking device manufacturers also sell GPS detectors. They detect cellular networks like GSM, GPRS, EDGE, GPS signals. To use them, you need to move around the vehicle carrying the detector with you. If it catches a radio...
