The MIL can present a legend, such as check engine, power limited, engine, or service engine soon; or it also can present a pictogram of an engine. In hybrid and electric cars, a fault with the hybrid/EV system shows the pictogram of the vehicle with the exclamation point to indicate a fault with the electric motor and/or hybrid/EV battery (in ...

Although the IAC is supposed to last the vehicle's lifetime, various reasons may cause it to fail/malfunction prematurely. The most common failure mode is partial/complete jamming of the actuator (due to dirt/dust or even oil) where it cannot be smoothly controlled. The result is an engine that fails to maintain idle RPM and frequently stalls.
GM is potentially facing a large warranty issue as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a preliminary investigation into engine failure affecting 877,710 GM SUVs and ...
Because the carbon dioxide used in car air conditioning is a recycled industrial waste product, it is an environmentally neutral solution. The Alliance claims that using a CO 2-based air conditioning system will reduce total car emissions by 10%, thereby sparing the planet 1% of total greenhouse gases. [citation needed]
A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).

Engine controls demand one of the highest real-time deadlines, as the engine itself is a very fast and complex part of the automobile. Of all the electronics in any car, the computing power of the engine control unit is the highest, typically a 32-bit processor. [citation needed] A modern car may have up to 100 ECU's and a commercial vehicle up ...
The EVcort was an experimental electric car produced from 1981 to 1994 by Electric Vehicle Associates of Cleveland, Ohio, and later by Soleq Corp. of Chicago, Illinois. [1] It consisted of a stock body and transmission from the Ford Escort , refitted with an electric propulsion system, every component of which was engineered and manufactured ...
