Are you often confused as to what is present in your car?
With a technological development, every vehicle that is being manufactured
comes with a computer in it. Presence of the computer makes it completely easy
to drive a vehicle at its optimum efficiency. It keeps a tab on the performance
of the engine and emissions. Apart from this, it also monitors various other
activities and features present in the car. This is regardless of the modal or
make of the vehicle. With the help of the computer, it is possible to receive
information about sensors such as oxygen sensor, throttle position sensor, airtemperature sensor, air pressure sensor and knock sensor.
The computer chip present in the engine also regulates
fuel injection and control over the ignition system. It also has the ability to
transform the vehicle to run at best performance increasing the level of
compatibility within the cabin. Running the vehicle at optimum efficiency will
increase the overall life of the engine and reduces the emissions. It also has
the capacity to check on different things that are linked to it within the
vehicle. It is easy for a professional to retrieve complete information about
the vehicle by plugging external computer to the car.
Early detection of a problem is now possible with the
help of the computer. It displays an alarm on the screen that is present in the
dashboard of the vehicle. The alarm signals, irrespective of mechanical or
electrical trouble. This makes it easy to find out the root cause of the
problem at an instance. The alarm display is divided into soft code and hard
code. Any soft trouble is displayed under the soft code category. If the
problem falls under the heart category, hard code alarm signals on the display
unit.
There is a possibility that components present in the
computer of the vehicle are short circuited due to static shocks. It is very
important to carry out regular inspection of the cables that are connected to
the computer. This process should be carried out before the vehicle is turned
on. Any problem with the distributor will make it a big problem for the owner
of the vehicle. This is due to the reason that distributor acts as a hub for
distribution of power generated from the engine and battery. Internal and
external lights are connected to the battery through the distributor.
Malfunctioning of the distributor will cause hurdle to the engine lights.
Apart from this, one will also experience a greater
change in the overall balance of the vehicle. Any malfunctioning of the
computer will cause it to react in a reverse way rather than in the right way.
Mileage of the vehicle is also affected. However, the presence of the computer
makes it easy to find out about the problem and its location. A scanner is
usually attached to the computer to find out about its health condition. The
scanner also has the ability to decode the soft codes and hard codes. Checking
the wires that are connected will be helpful to see whether the PCM is working
or not. Oxygen sensors will deliver a hardcode when there is a problem with the
wiring. However, if the vehicle is running smoothly, even in the check engine
lights are “on” on the display unit, it is necessary to call in for
professional help to diagnose the entire situation.
I hope this information is
useful.....
