If your car isn’t stopping as quickly as it once did or you find yourself pressing the brake pedal harder, this is a major warning sign. It could be due to low brake fluid or damaged rotors. Reduced braking power not only makes driving less safe but also increases the risk of accidents, especially in emergency situations. It’s crucial to address these issues promptly to ensure your brakes are functioning properly.
The primary purpose of the exhaust system is to keep these gases far away from you--though it also serves other purposes, including reducing engine noise and decreasing pollution. So, it's important to keep an eye (and ear, and nose) out for signs that the exhaust system isn't performing as it should be. Below are 5 possible symptoms.
The TPMS indicator will illuminate on your vehicle's dashboard when the tire air pressure falls below the recommended level by 25% or more. Indirect TPMS (iTPMS) systems do not use physical pressure sensors; they measure air pressures using software-based systems; Direct TPMS (dTPMS) directly measures tire pressure using hardware sensors. Don not rely solely on TPMS to monitor your tire pressure. Always use a reliable gauge to manually check it each month.
Electric cars don’t use oil or need oil changes, nor do they require transmission service or tune-ups like gas cars. The electrical system (battery, motor, and associated electronics) typically requires minimal scheduled maintenance, and brake systems generally last longer than those on conventional vehicles because of regenerative braking.
When you start your vehicle, an array of lights illuminate your dashboard — one of these may be your oil change light. It's important to grasp the reason behind the oil change light appearing. Its activation is typically tied to a specific mileage or engine hours preset by the manufacturer.
A number of factors, including erasing of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with a code reader or a disconnected battery, check Engine Light can cause Readiness Monitors being set to “Not Ready”. In order for the OBD monitor system to become ready, the vehicle should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions. You will need to drive up to 200 miles, in order for the OBD2 to set all of the sensor reading to ( Ready Status ).
