What s going on with the steering wheel getting heavier and the fault lights not coming on?

The first point is the steering wheel.

Becoming heavier, it may be that there is a problem with the steering oil, so for the hydraulic power steering system, it is necessary to hit the steering wheel, so there is also a shaft connected to the following through the steering wheel, so for such a set of hydraulic systems.

It is also easy to use the interest of a hand, but for hydraulics, it has also become the strength of ten hands, so the steering wheel will be particularly easy, so for such a power assist system, basically the feeling of hitting the steering wheel, it can be relatively constant, if one day the steering wheel becomes heavier, it is likely that there is a problem with this steering oil, so it may also become dirty and deteriorate, or there is an oil leak, In this way, the steering wheel will become dead.

The second point is that the bearing fit is too tight, so there is a rolling bearing connected to each steering system.

It is also closely matched with the sliding bearing, so this will also lead to the lubrication of the bearing can not be a good operation, which will affect the phenomenon of stagnation, so the direction of heavy is also specifically there are two performances, one is heavy in one direction, the second is heavy on both sides, so these two situations can not be ignored by us, so if these two situations are found, some targeted inspections should also be made. It is necessary to check the reason for the mechanical part and the booster system, or to rule out whether there is an oil leakage and the damage of the inlet seal, so it is also necessary to pay attention to some warning information issued by the car, so it is also necessary to find the problem as soon as possible to solve the problem.

The third point. If there is a problem with the booster, he is also inseparable from the steering wheel booster, so when the steering wheel becomes very heavy, then it is likely that there are some poor circuit contacts or other problems inside the booster system, so we also have to check whether there is a problem in such a place.

For the above three points, that is, if you feel that your steering wheel has become heavier, drivers and friends must not ignore that they should also do a relevant inspection of their cars as soon as possible, so that they can drive with special confidence. So what is going on with the sudden weight of the steering wheel? Therefore, it is recommended that drivers do not ignore it, and it is likely that there are problems in these places.

Hello, it is possible that the booster pump is malfunctioning. If the steering wheel is pushed to the limit when steering, it will damage the booster pump, and it is generally necessary to leave a few degrees of clearance.

After the car is energized, the power turn signal lights up, and it will naturally turn off after starting, which is a normal phenomenon, and the car driving computer must check the relevant electronic originals every time it is powered on, and the original will automatically extinguish if it is normal, and it will always light up if there is a fault.

The reasons are: 1. Helping the oil to be dirty; 2. The booster pump has a pressure relief phenomenon; 3. The signal of the steering torque sensor is poor. Hope.

Check the power steering pump and oil, and it is possible that the steering machine is rusted due to water ingress. It's heavy when hitting the direction.

Hello, in this case, it is recommended to go to the repair shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. There are many specific reasons for this phenomenon. You can hit my stadium for inspection.

The possible causes are as follows:

1. For the steering system of hydraulic power

1) The steering power pump is faulty, and the pump oil pressure is insufficient;

2) The steering power is insufficient, and the pump pressure is low;

3) Oil leakage from the power steering system;

4) The steering machine is faulty.

2. For electric steering machines:

1) The steering wheel angle sensor is faulty;

2) The steering wheel accelerometer is faulty;

3) The steering column is faulty;

4) The electric steering machine is faulty;

5) There is a problem with the control module assembly of the electric steering machine; (6) The control circuit of the electric steering machine is faulty.

It is normal for the steering system to hit the direction at low speed (labor-saving) and heavy at high speed (with feel).

The reasons for the steering wheel sinking are: 1. Insufficient booster oil, 2. Tire pressure is too low, 3. Bearing fit is too tight, 4. Booster problem, which can be dealt with according to the actual situation.

1. Insufficient booster oil.

Generally, the feeling of the weight of the direction is relatively constant, if it suddenly becomes very heavy one day, or slowly becomes heavier, it may be that the steering power oil is dirty, it is similar to the engine oil, and it needs to be replaced. Or if there is less oil leakage, then there is less power, so the steering wheel becomes very heavy. In this case, it is necessary to maintain it in time, or to add and change the steering oil.

2. The tire pressure is too low.

If the tire pressure is too low, the area of contact between the tire and the road surface will increase, the friction will increase, and the steering difficulty will increase, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety.

3. The bearing fit is too tight.

For a rolling bearing connected to each steering system, it is also closely matched with the sliding bearing, so it will lead to the lubrication of the bearing can not be well run, which will affect the phenomenon of stagnation, causing the steering wheel to become sinking, this situation should check the mechanical part and the power assist system, or rule out whether there is a leakage of the inlet seal damage phenomenon.

4. Booster problem.

The relationship between the steering wheel and the booster is inseparable, so when the steering wheel becomes very heavy, it is likely that there are some poor circuit contacts or other problems inside the booster system, which should be repaired by the 4th shop.

Hello car owner, it may be caused by the failure of your electronic steering power sensor, use the computer to detect it, if you have any questions, you can continue to consult me, I wish you a happy life, all the best!

Hello, it needs to be diagnosed and repaired, and the computer stops working when there is a fault code! So it will be heavy!

Hello, you need to detect it, see the fault, and then do the repair,

Whether there is a loss of power, check that there is no fault code, and match it.

What's going on, the work of the repair shop.

The steering wheel light on the dashboard actually refers to the steering power system, when the steering wheel light is on, and there is an exclamation mark next to it, it means that there is a problem with the car's power steering system.

When the yellow light is on, it means that the steering system has partially failed, and more force is required to turn the steering wheel; If the red light is on, it means that the steering system is completely out of order, and the power assist system will not be able to provide any power assist effect, and the force to turn the steering wheel is all provided by our hands.

The reason why the steering wheel light is on.

1. Generator failure. Unstable power can cause the steering wheel light to come on.

2. The connection of the steering power system is loose, resulting in the leakage of part of the steering fluid.

3. Failure of the booster pump. Damage to the booster pump can also cause the steering wheel light to come on.

4. The steering system contains air, resulting in abnormal steering.

5. The piston cylinder of the steering gear is mechanically damaged, the sealing performance of the oil seal is reduced, and the control valve is damaged.

6. There are foreign objects in the steering hydraulic pipeline, which causes the flow control valve of the steering pump to be stuck.

Resolution1. Check whether the generator, booster pump, steering gear and other mechanisms are in a damaged state.

2. Check the connection parts of each component to see if there is any loose place.

3. Check the tire pressure to see if it is at normal pressure.

4. Follow the power steering pump, steering gear and other parts.

The reason for the failure of the steering wheel: the power steering system contains a large amount of air, which causes the car to steer abnormally; There is a foreign object in the steering hydraulic line that causes the steering pump flow control valve to get stuck.

The steering wheel fault light of the car dashboard is actually the fault light of the power steering system, and the light is on to indicate that the power steering system is faulty.

When the yellow light is on, it means that the steering system has partially failed, and more force is required to turn the steering wheel; If the red light is on, it means that the steering system is completely out of order, and the power assist system will not be able to provide any power assist effect, and the force to turn the steering wheel is all provided by our hands.

The vehicle has such a situation, indicating that the vehicle lacks power steering oil, and the abnormal sound of the power steering oil can be eliminated by supplementing enough power steering oil, power steering oil is a special liquid used in the power steering pump of the car, through hydraulic action, the steering wheel can be made very light, similar to automatic transmission oil, brake fluid and shock absorbing oil; The specific steps are as follows:

1. Open the door on the cab side of the car.

2. Pull the hood switch on the left side of the driver's leg of the car.

3. Lift up the hood of the car's engine.

Fourth, use the support rod to support the engine hood of the car, and ensure that the support is firm to avoid danger during operation.

Fifth, the supplementary provisions of the steering power oil to the max position.

This is an electronic power assist indicator. The reason why the electronic power steering indicator light is on:

1. Deviation of driving.

2. The steering is heavy.

3. The left and right steering are inconsistent.

4. Low-speed swing head and unstable steering.

Steering power assist the driver to adjust the direction of the car, reduce the force of the steering wheel for the driver, of course, the steering power also plays a certain role in the safety and economy of the car.

Power steering fault lamp function:

When the vehicle is driving, the power steering system fault light is on, indicating that the power steering system is faulty, at this time the steering power may be weakened or completely invalid, the resistance to turn the steering wheel will be several times greater than usual, and this fault can not be checked or repaired by itself, so the best way is to drive to the nearest service station for repair.

Due to the great steering resistance of the steering wheel that loses power assist when this system fails, the vehicle is very inflexible, so you should be extra careful when driving and slow down. Generally, there is no need to prepare the steering power oil with the car, and it is best to ask professional maintenance personnel to deal with the failure.

It is recommended to go to a professional repair shop to check whether the power assist oil is missing.

What is the cause of the abnormal tire pressure monitoring before this failure? The key is that the fault disappears after restarting, and the tire pressure monitoring is also better, what is the reason?

Hello, this is the electronic power indicator.

What happens when the battery light is on and the steering wheel is particularly heavy.

Reasons why the steering wheel of a car is heavy:

1. If it is hydraulic assistance, check whether the booster oil is lacking, whether there is oil leakage, the lack of oil needs to be replenished to the normal range, and if there is no shortage of oil, check whether the booster pump belt is too loose, and if it is too loose, the belt needs to be tightened, and whether the oil is too dirty to cause poor fluidity, which is generally replaced once every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers.

2. If it is electronically assisted, check whether the fuse is burned out, and whether the line is open or short circuited to the ground.

3. Check the tire pressure, air leakage will also cause the direction to become heavier, so you need to inflate.

The reason why the car fault light is fully lit is that the vehicle starts self-testing, which is a normal phenomenon. If the vehicle instrument light is still fully lit after the vehicle is started, it may be caused by the fault of the instrument panel line, the CAN bus fault of the ECU, and the poor contact of the CAN interface of the ECU. The reason why the car fault light is on is that the vehicle is malfunctioning, reminding the owner that the vehicle needs to be overhauled.

The car fault light indicates that there are many reasons, engine failure, transmission failure, hand production system failure, water temperature failure, etc., and it is necessary to check and confirm the vehicle failure according to the display on the vehicle dashboard.

Here's why the engine failure light is on:

1. Exhaust emissions are not up to standard: such as poor fuel, failure of three-way catalytic converter, excessive carbon deposition in the intake pipe, blockage of fuel injector, failure of oxygen sensor, and occasional lack of fire in the engine will lead to the lighting of the engine fault light, among which the engine failure light is the most caused by poor oil quality;

2. The fault lamp is lit due to the poor operation of the engine system, such as the accelerator pedal sensor, throttle position sensor, air flow meter, crankshaft position sensor, etc., or the fault of the line contact will cause the engine fault lamp to be lit;

3. The failure of the transmission system of some vehicles is also indicated by the engine fault light, such as internal failure of the gearbox, skidding, high temperature, etc.

Reasons for reference only: 1. The sensor is damaged, the contact is poor, or the signal is interrupted; 2. Poor engine maintenance; 3. The quality of fuel and oil is not good; 4. The combustion of the mixture is insufficient; 5. Spark plug failure, ignition coil failure; 6. The fuel pump is faulty and the oil circuit is blocked; 7. The air conditioner filter is blocked.

The specific situation is analyzed as follows; 1. Sensor problems; When these sensors are damaged, the contact is poor, or the signal is interrupted, the ECU of the car cannot accurately obtain the engine data, and the engine fault light will be on. 2. Maintenance problems; Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of engine failure to light up. We know that vehicles have a certain maintenance cycle, if the owner's driving habits, then it will increase the burden of engine operation, and finally can only remind you through the fault light to care about your car 3, oil quality problems; The oil quality here includes fuel and engine oil, we know that the fuel filled by the car is generally marked, and the engine oil is also semi-synthetic and fully synthetic, the manufacturer will generally recommend the owner to use which grade of fuel, what type of engine oil, if the owner does not add as required, it will cause wear and tear of the engine in the long run, and the fault light is not to blame.

Poor combustion of the mixture; The failure of the spark plug, ignition coil, fuel pump, and oil circuit blockage of the engine will cause poor combustion of the engine mixture. Poor combustion of the mixture is caused by the problem of engine carbon deposition or knocking, and these will eventually be detected by the engine's oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, which will naturally turn on the fault light to warn of the intake air intake problem; When the engine burns, it needs to take intake, the air filter element is very important in this process, if the air filter element of the car is not clean, it will affect the air intake of the car if it is not cleaned regularly, and it will be blocked for a long time, and if it is serious, it will cause the engine failure light to turn on. pressurized seepage shed problem; Intake booster lines and turbochargers can also cause engine failure lights to illuminate.

The most common of these is turbocharger damage, and at the same time, the vehicle will also have oil leakage, large oil consumption, and power loss.
