How to Deal with the Exclamation Mark with a Gear?
1 Answers
An exclamation mark inside a gear is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. It is necessary to replace the transmission oil promptly. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. Besides the exclamation mark inside a gear, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses, an exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a warning for the brake system, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a fault in one of the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
