1 Answers
Methods to reset the car malfunction indicator light are as follows: 1. If the engine system malfunctions, promptly inspect and perform maintenance. 2. Disconnect the negative or positive terminal of the car battery for a few seconds, then reconnect it. 3. After starting the car, check if the dashboard functions normally and whether the engine malfunction light remains illuminated. If it turns off, it indicates no engine issues, eliminating the need for a repair shop inspection. Related information is as follows: 1. The illumination of the vehicle malfunction light is often caused by the fuel emission system. When the malfunction light is on, start and turn off the vehicle three times consecutively, then observe if the light remains on. If it does, promptly visit a repair shop to check the fault code to determine whether it's an engine problem or a sensor malfunction. If the light turns off, it may be a sporadic issue that doesn’t require immediate inspection. 2. Poor engine combustion is a primary reason for the engine malfunction light. Internal causes for the light include poor fuel quality and dirty engine cylinders with accumulated carbon deposits.
