Self driving car are more readily available than ever

Posted on by

A few years ago, I thought hat for self driving car would need to redesign the road and put those sensors on the road for the car to navigate, boy! am I wrong on my thought. Now the driving cars just equip with many sensors and cameras, and the help of GPS it can navigate it way around. Taking the google car for example, does close to 100,000 miles with 2 accident that weren’t its fault, some other driver were hitting it. I think that’s a big accomplishment.

But now, more and more, and almost if not all car manufacturer have a prototype of self driving car. In fact it’s available now for sale to drive on the road. Especially in Japan. In the US, I think laws has compliance has to be set up first.

2005 Nissan Quest Flashing Red light on dashboard panel – solved – fix all similar model

Posted on by

If you have a flashing airbag light on your cars truck van dashboard panel, a simple fix could be to reset it direction below. It’s typical that when you change or remove something that trigger the sensitivities of the many sensors in the vehicle might trigger this airbag light flashing. For me, it was because I took out the dashboard to change or fix the LCD speedometer reading, when I put it bad, the dashboard sensor came on flashing repeatedly. I did some search and people said that the dealership will charge $800 to change out the wire harness somewhere to fix it, who knows what they will do to fix it though, but it can be fix with $800? crap! use this procedure below. It will work for many of you, at least try it first before really physically work on it.

srs red or airbag light flashing red repeatedly fix it - solved by resetting diagnostic fix

srs red or airbag light flashing red repeatedly fix it – solved by resetting diagnostic fix

Try This, I got this from ClubArmada.com It worked for me.

Since some of you guys here are new owners I thought I’d save you a trip to the dealer once you start modifing your armada’s. I’m not sure what set’s it off (other than pulling things apart) but at some point you will likely end up with a flashing airbag sensor light. Here is how to reset it yourself.

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

2005 Nissan Quest ODB2 reading error code P0340 afterward P0021

Posted on by

After a lot of research for a couple weeks. The problem was indeed the camshaft sensors, but need to replace all of them. That includes the Bank 1, Bank 2, and the crankshaft sensors as well. Even though only Bank 1 was mentioned for that error code of P0340. Then if you get the P0021 error afterward, try to clean the value, oil residue probably got into it. This was the result of my Nissan Quest 2005, stalled after 30 mins or so running, and when try to start again, it kept on cranking for a long time before getting a hit to start. Very dangerous if you let woman or daughter driving it and stalled in the middle of the road or highway they wouldn’t know what to do, but actually you can put the shift into Neutral position and then start the engine again, it will crank long time, but it will start and all the lights will come on, just drive home or to automotive shop.

2005 Nissan Quest van Service Engine soon light came on after SLIP ABS TCS OFF lights came on

Posted on by

I got a 2005 Nissan Quest van. My check tires lights were on, one of the tire have low pressure, I pumped it up, and was fine, then happen again, low pressure and eventually the indicator said flat tire 28 versus 32 32 32 other three tires. Apparently the 28 psi tire flat was one of the front tire, and this van is a front wheel drive.

One day, after filling up gas tank and drove away, and on my way to free entrance, it was uphill, I stepped on the gas a little bit and noticed the tire slipped, and then all kind of lights came on and the engine stopped. I was able to pull it to the side with emergency light on blinking, flashing. I put in park and tried to restart a few time, and finally it started again. However all the lights are still on; Service Engine, ABS, TCS Off, SLIP. I was able to drive home and tried to trouble shoot.

I checked all fluid, engine oil seems low so I added some, brake fluid I filled up to top, water coolant filled up, washer fluid filled up although it has nothing to with it, haven’t check the transmission fluid yet as it not really needed but will do later. After that I started the engine, and it started immediately, I took it for a test drive, all the lights back to normal now except for the Service Engine Soon light. I went back home and disconnected the battery for a good hour, and then reconnect it. Start engine, took it for a spin again, and now Service Engine light off, that’s good news, so look like everything back to normal.

So what’s the cause. I strongly believe that the cause to all these was simply low tire pressure for one of the front wheel. This is a front wheel drive vehicle, if one of the front pressure is low or flat, when stepping on the gas too fast too hard one of the wheel react slowly because it’s too low in pressure or flat while the other wheel operate normally. As a result, I believe there’s a sensor that detect slipping or not balance and shut off the engine as the computer might detect it slipping off the road or to prevent further damage to the engine or drive train (transmission), so I think it shut off for safety precaution. Why I think this? Because I filled up the air and now all four tires pressure are the same, the van runs smooth now. However I think I would need new tires soon, since of the tire keep on loosing pressure and I don’t see any nail or anything puncture. All four tires appears to be worn out at least 3 of them.

In generation, if you get Check Engine or Service Engine soon, might want to do a cold reboot see if that help. Take off the card battery overnight maybe, then plug it back in, see if that will reset it.

Hydrogen car making a come back to compete in the environmentally friendly car zero emssion

Posted on by

I don’t know about this, it’s like sitting on top of a hydrogen bomb driving around ๐Ÿ™‚ Explosive as it may sounds , but Hydrogen vehicle might back to compete with the ever changing market of making the most efficient environment friendly automobile. I don’t get it, Hydrogen engine produces zero emission, we started years ago to build a few, and Arnold got one, and it’s a hummveeeeee too. Well, there’s a nasty five letters word that is causing the issue, “MONEY”, it’s not cheap to manufacture hydrogen vehicle. However like everything else, in economics, demand drives down the cost. I think there are still room for another different type of automobile engine for the market. Come on now Elon Musk, you criticize Hydrogen as dangerous! but look at your Tesla, completely engulf in fire, although your car have highest rating in safety, not anymore, your battery compartment is too low to the ground and also electricity can get shorted can cause fire, yeah sure the many fuses will prevent it.

Google.com an automobile manufacturer soon?

Posted on by

Well that’s not really the case, but in addition to its presence on the internet as #1 search engine, now they’re working on plan to create cars or taxi to be exact, that will drive itself based on commuters request where they want to go. I thought this has been on the radar for a very long time from various many cars manufacturer companies but it never happened? guess why? because cars manufacturer will go broke bankruptcy because they can no longer sell unique cars for people to drive, so some politics there.

Anyhow, I see this as a car will not be unique, it’s a taxi, and many people know that most if not all taxi look the same. This new design will be electric and robotics so call “autonomous car”, it will drive you to the location where you want to go, it will pick you up and drive you to the location and pick you up again and take you back home or where ever you wanted to go. This should have happened long time ago, I am surprised that we don’t have one yet, although we have something similar, new cars, most have self parallel parking, auto disable or slow acceleration when car to close to vehicle in front, or lane change detect blind spot and many more but no self-driving completely yet.

I personally like the cruise control, it work great for me in the past commuting from Vallejo to Santa Clara, once I’m on 680, I locked down to 55 or 65mph and then it keep going for about 1 hour and 1/2 and i turned it off and I’m there. This self driving will be better, I just hop on and keep on working on my portable computer or something while the car taxi drive me to my location …

From San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes train? Hyperloop

Posted on by

From San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes train? Hyperloop.ย Just in case you missed this news. Why spend more money on a high speed train copying other countries already invented technology, why not have our own system that is better and twice faster and off course look space age and futuristic. Just look the picture below, you will see that it’s the future. Anyhow this news is about spending money to construct a high speed train from San Francisco to Los Angeles fast, but still that’s copying other countries already have technology. My personal opinion is this idea of a tube travel is a lot better and I believe it use a lot less power maybe and more comfortable on top of that in 30 minutes, versus hours. Off course there will have to be a lot of test and approval required needed. But – I think we definitely need to look into this and carry on with it, if American want to be the leader in technology or at least perform some technology advance ideas such as this one. By the way, the idea was from a space agency not tied to the government, independent.
