Last time my Excelle's dashboard had a yellow wrench light on, which was really annoying. This light is usually a maintenance reminder, telling you it's time for an oil change or service. To reset it, first make sure the car has been properly serviced, like the oil change is done. Then get in the car, turn off the ignition, press and hold the button on the right side of the steering wheel, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, watch the wrench light blink a few times and then go off, then release the button. The whole process takes just a minute or two, pretty simple. If the light goes off and comes back on, the service might not have been done properly or there could be another issue, so it's best to check the manual or see a technician. When I drive, I keep track of service dates regularly, so this light doesn't come on easily, which is much more worry-free.

My Buick Excelle keeps showing that yellow wrench light, which is actually the maintenance reminder light. The method to reset it isn't difficult, let me share a little trick: First make sure the vehicle has recently been serviced, then sit in the driver's seat, turn off the engine but keep the key in the OFF position. Next, press and hold the reset button on the instrument panel (usually located near the tachometer). While keeping it pressed, slowly turn the key to the ACC or ON position without starting the engine. Watch the dashboard for about 10 seconds until the light starts blinking, then release the button - it should disappear. This method works like a charm for me. However, I should remind you that if the light comes on frequently, it might be a setting issue or missed maintenance. Developing a habit of checking the oil every six months will basically prevent this light from bothering you again.

The yellow wrench icon on the Yinglang indicates it's time for maintenance. To reset the light, reboot the system by turning off the ignition and then powering on using the steering wheel buttons. Note: Perform this only after completing maintenance, otherwise the light will reappear. If the light persists, it's recommended to have the vehicle inspected.

What does 'Check Exhaust System' mean?

Check Exhaust System refers to a malfunction in the emission system, which may trigger an alarm signal due to a dirty three-way catalytic converter or oxygen sensor; it could also be caused by poor gas combustion leading to system alerts. Alarm signal caused by dirty three-way catalytic converter and oxygen sensor: A car's exhaust pipe consists of three sections: the front pipe (header), mid-pipe, and tailpipe. The three-way catalytic converter is located in the front pipe, which is also known as the exhaust manifold. In most cars, the exhaust manifold can be seen by opening the engine hood. The three-way catalytic converter may fail after prolonged use, and if it fails, it could cause the engine warning light to illuminate. The role of the oxygen sensor in the exhaust system: Most cars have two oxygen sensors—one located behind the exhaust manifold and another behind the three-way catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gases and relays this signal back to the ECU.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Burn Out Spark Plugs?

The reasons for a motorcycle burning out spark plugs include: excessively rich fuel-air mixture, engine oil leakage causing the spark plug to become wet and unable to spark, and mismatch between the spark plug model and heat value. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Burning oil. Vehicles that burn oil are very prone to burning out spark plugs. After stopping and restarting, the vehicle may fail to start. The center electrode of the spark plug cannot concentrate the spark, and the spark plug is wet, causing the spark to disperse around instead of igniting the fuel, making it impossible to start the vehicle. The symptom is that the tip of the spark plug often has oil and appears black with carbon deposits. It is necessary to check the piston rings and valve oil seals. 2. Clogged air filter. A clogged air filter leads to an overly rich mixture, which not only makes it difficult to accelerate but also easily burns out spark plugs. The air filter can be cleaned or replaced. 3. Dirty carburetor. A dirty carburetor causing an overly rich mixture can also lead to burning out spark plugs. The carburetor can be cleaned or replaced. 4. Ignition system failure. A faulty electronic ignition system is also one of the common causes of spark plug burnout.
