What to do if the generator fault light comes on?
If the engine fault light comes on, this indicates a malfunction in the engine exhaust system. If it turns off after running the engine for a few seconds, this indicates a normal system test. If it stays on, there may be a problem with the exhaust system. If it lights up flashing, this indicates that the engine is misfiring and the catalytic converter is damaged.
When the engine (exhaust system) trouble light is on, if the water temperature and oil pressure warning light does not alarm, the vehicle can still ride. But be sure to drive carefully and slowly and find a nearby auto repair shop for repairs. If the temperature is too high or the oil pressure light is also on and you clearly feel a malfunction of the vcar, you must immediately call for help at a certain point on the ramp.
The root causes of the engine (exhaust system) check engine light coming on: poor gasoline and diesel quality, carbon deposits on the spark plugs, sensor failure oxygen, engine knocking, water temperature sensor damage, engine cylinder shortage, etc. If this problem is not addressed promptly, it is likely to cause engine damage and result in substandard exhaust emissions.

Signs of Generator Belt Replacement
Symptoms of a generator belt that is too tight or too loose Too tight: 1. The belt is stuck and requires more power to turn; 2. This will cause large axial load on the motor shaft and is prone to fatigue; 3. Thiswill be in danger; belt life; 4. It is very easy to damage the car. The motor bearing is damaged.
Too loose: 1. Causes deviation and abnormal noise; 2. The belt will be damaged initially, endangering the life of the belt 3. Causes the car engine to not sufficiently charge the battery, endangering the operation of the belt. battery The lifespan of the vehicle; 4. The vehicle may vibrate at idle, have insufficient driving force, have high fuel consumption and have high temperatures.
Signs of generator belt replacement
1. When the generator belt is running, there is a leak.
This situation is caused by a loose motor belt or an uncertain mounting position. It is best to check immediately if a sliding noise occurs.
2. The generator belt iscracks, cracks and falls.
This situation is caused by incorrect installation parts, uneven bearing capacity or corrosion. It may also be because the motor belt has become brittle and hardened due to prolonged use.
3. When the generator belt is used for almost 2 years or the vehicle has traveled 60,000 kilometers.
The lifespan of a general engine belt is 2 years or 60,000 kilometers, so it should be replaced when the required usage period expires. You definitely can't replace it until it breaks. Very easy to cause hazards.
What happens if the generator belt breaks?
If the generator belt breaks while the car is driving, the car may suddenly lose its motive power. If the distance between the following cars is not enough, it is very easy to cause an accident.accident on the road, particularly on motorways.
Therefore, you need to frequently check the engine belt, generator belt, water pump belt, compressor belt, engine timing belt and other car components to ensure that all components of the car are basically in good condition. Work in better conditions. What should I do if the alternator fault light comes on? Signs of alternator belt replacement @2019
Car suddenly can't start. There are also three fault lights on
This may be due to low battery voltage. It is recommended to check it as soon as possible. If the battery light on your car's dashboard lights up, it means the car battery has a problem. Theyellow lightis on, indicatingWhile the battery is low or dead.
This will prevent the car from starting. At that time, you can start it using an electrical device and run it for a while to store electricity after starting; try again, the yellow light will disappear and the battery will return to normal. If the red light comes on, it is not just a battery problem, but a fault in the power supply system. At this time, it is recommended to turn off the car's electrical equipment and call for help.
Causes why the battery light turns on
1. The voltage generated by the engine is lower than the battery voltage, the generator does not work or the power line is faulty, the car battery light will turn on. At that time, you should go to the repair shop to check the generator and charging line.
2. The battery light on the dashboard is a warning light indicating that the generator is not producing electricity. Typically, it turns on after turning the ignition switch to the ON position and turns off after starting. engine. If the light is still on after the car is turned on, it means the generator may not be producing electricity or there may be a problem with the wiring and you need to go to the gas station. maintenance for maintenance.
If the generator does not generate electricity, during the process of driving the car, the electrical equipment can only rely on the battery for power supply, and the battery will not be charged when battery power is used. the engine stalls or the car does not start.
3. When the car battery is low, the battery indicator light will also light up. However, you can continue to use it in this case.s. Because the battery can be charged by the generator inside the engine while the car is driving.
What are the lights on your car?
Needless to specify that the -+ light above is the battery light, the one on the left is the engine fault light . , and the other is the oil sight glass. Pressure Light
After turning the key on, the light on the dashboard will illuminate for a few seconds, followed by the oil light and the battery light. and handbrake warning light. The light will always be on. After starting the vehicle, the oil light will turn off when the oil pressure increases, and the battery light will also turn off once the generator is running. The battery light is still on after starting the vehicle, it means the generator is broken.
The check engine light is always on, which means the ECU is reporting a permanent error code. The codeserror codes are divided into two types: permanent error codes (can only be eliminated after maintenance) and transient error codes (sometimes without error). When a permanent error code appears, the **error indicator light is always on. When a transient error code appears, the **error light will not stay on, but will be stored. The ECU can store up to fifteen error codes. Some students have reported that while driving they notice the error light ** comes on and then goes off. This is a transient error code. For example, if the sensor contact is not good, this does not mean that the sensor is broken. However, transient error codes will persist. Even if the contact remains normal in the future, it will be necessary to wait fifty starts before it can be eliminated.
The oil pressure light indicates that the oil pressure is abnormal
If it cannot cause a fire, it is preferablee to contact the 4S workshop maintenance service station
