#On the “F gear” of the 700

The car has been driving for more than two years! I dare not say that there are no problems, at least there are no “principled faults”! They are all harmless little problems! However, the problem encountered this time was quite troublesome. Although it did not affect normal driving, it still felt strange! Here’s the thing. Coming back from Shanghai, on the highway, the gear display suddenly changed to “F”! I’ve heard that this kind of problem has occurred to my group members before, but this time it happened to me! Call the after-sales service first, because on the highway, you cannot joke about safety! The after-sales service said that they could continue driving, so it would be best to find a nearby service area to stop and see if the fault would be reset! Then the car stopped, and the fault still existed! When parking and placing P gear, the P gear indicator keeps flashing! Later, I consulted some great gods and said that the fault was caused by overheating of the shifting mechanism and did not affect driving! Removing the negative wire of the battery and resetting the circuit may reset the fault. If it cannot be reset, the only way to change the electronic gear assembly! See the figure below for details

F gear appears

The fault still exists after parking and restarting

Two hours after parking and shutting down, it was still in F gear.

Because it is a picture, it may not be visible if the P indicator light flashes!

Detailed explanation of the fault

To interrupt irrelevant topics, Zotye’s original factory used camel batteries, which should be better!
