Can You Continue Driving When the Car's Engine Light Turns Yellow?
1 Answers
Yes, but repairs should be made as soon as possible. When the engine light turns yellow, the issue may not immediately affect driving, but it is still important to get it checked promptly. There are many reasons why the engine fault light may illuminate, such as poor gasoline quality, oxygen sensor malfunction, air flow sensor failure, spark plug carbon buildup, engine knocking, or coolant temperature sensor damage. Below are some common reasons for the yellow engine light: 1. Gasoline: Poor quality fuel; 2. Coolant temperature sensor: Damaged coolant temperature sensor; 3. Misfiring cylinder: Engine misfiring. If not addressed promptly, it may lead to engine damage or non-compliant exhaust emissions.
