Engine wiring harnesses are typically maintained every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers.
The high ambient temperature inside the engine compartment can easily affect the plastic material on the wiring harness, leading to performance degradation, aging, and even short circuits. Therefore, it's crucial to regularly inspect the wiring harness to detect and address any issues promptly.
Large amounts of oil and dirt on the wiring harness not only affect engine operation, resulting in reduced power and performance, but also accelerate aging, shortening its service life.
To ensure proper engine wiring harness operation, regular cleaning and inspection are essential. When cleaning the engine compartment, use a specialized cleaning agent and ensure the engine is stopped for safety reasons. To prevent water from entering electronic components, wipe the wiring harness and components dry with a clean towel after cleaning to remove any residual moisture.
In addition, it's recommended to use a wiring harness protectant to maintain the engine wiring harness. This protectant has antioxidant and moisture-proof properties, effectively extending the life of the wiring harness.
The engine wiring harness is a key component of the vehicle's electrical circuitry. Connecting to various electrical components through connectors or lugs, it ensures signal transmission between the various parts of the vehicle. Considering the complex internal structure of the engine, which includes key components such as the piston, spark plugs, and oil filter, the reciprocating motion of the piston can be considered the engine's "central system," while the discharge of the spark plug represents the engine's "heart." The oil filter is responsible for filtering impurities from the engine oil, protecting the engine from damage. Therefore, regular maintenance of the engine wiring harness is crucial to ensuring stable vehicle performance and extending its service life.
