How to Repair When the Engine Shows a Yellow Light?

The engine's malfunction indicator light can be triggered by numerous reasons, necessitating a visit to a 4S shop or repair facility for inspection and repair. After troubleshooting the engine issues, if the yellow light persists, it's essential to connect a diagnostic scanner to clear the fault codes from the system.

I've been driving for many years, and that annoying engine yellow light has come on quite a few times, but I've managed to fix it myself on multiple occasions. That light usually warns of sensor issues or emission system faults, so the first thing to do is find a safe place to pull over, turn off the engine, and check. Without professional tools, I borrow an OBD scanner to read the trouble codes. Like last time when the light came on, I found the oxygen sensor was dirty—just took it out, cleaned it, and the problem was solved. If the code shows complex faults like fuel line blockage or ignition system failure, then it's time to send it to the repair shop. Never push through and keep driving; major engine problems will cost much more to fix. Regular maintenance of fuel injectors and spark plugs can effectively prevent this issue. I check them monthly and hardly ever have problems now.
