  2. Fishtailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishtailing

    Fishtailing is a vehicle handling problem which occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteer. This can be caused by low- friction surfaces (sand, gravel, rain, snow, ice, etc.). Rear-drive vehicles with sufficient power can induce this loss of traction on any surface, which is called power-oversteer .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_running_protection

    It is thus always recommended to install dry-running protection on all booster sets. There are three different methods for detection of water shortage: Pressure switch on suction manifold or float switch/electrode relay in the supply tank: Dry-running protection with pressure/level switch.

  4. Skid (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(automobile)

    fishtailing, where the vehicle yaws back and forth across the direction of motion. spin or spinout where a vehicle rotates in one direction during the skid. understeer and oversteer where front or rear wheels lose traction during cornering, causing a vehicle to follow a larger or smaller turning radius.

  5. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    Uses of pneumatic pressure switches include: Switch a household well water pump automatically when water is drawn from the pressure tank. Switching off an electrically driven gas compressor when a set pressure is achieved in the reservoir; Switching off a gas compressor, whenever there is no feed in the suction stage. in-cell charge control in ...

  6. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    Due to the fact that stability control can be incompatible with high-performance driving, many vehicles have an override control which allows the system to be partially or fully deactivated. In simple systems, a single button may disable all features, while more complicated setups may have a multi-position switch or may never be fully disengaged.

  7. Jackknifing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknifing

    When a trailer skids to one side, this is known as a trailer swing or trailer slew.This can occur on a slippery road surface, often where there is a cant.This is not the same as jackknifing and is not as serious, as the trailer will move back into line as the vehicle continues forwards.

  8. Mercury switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch

    A mercury switch is an electrical switch that opens and closes a circuit when a small amount of the liquid metal mercury connects metal electrodes to close the circuit. There are several different basic designs (tilt, displacement, radial, etc.) but they all share the common design strength of non-eroding switch contacts.

  9. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

    The sensor has an input port to measure the hydraulic braking pressure and an electrical connector output for a wire connection for feeding the warning light. Some brake failures do not trip the sensor into a fault mode. A brake fluid pressure sensor is used in anti-lock braking system (ABS). ABS fault lights come on with unexpected wheel lock ...
