Is It Normal for the Engine Fault Light to Illuminate in a New Car?

Specific reasons are as follows. Below is relevant information: Starting ignition: A starting system malfunction prevents the engine from turning or causes it to turn too slowly. Ignition system failure, possibly due to incorrect ignition timing. Engine: Poor engine idling or stalling, with the main cause being a malfunction in the idle control system. Poor engine combustion state is the primary reason for the engine fault light illuminating. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.
As someone with several years of auto repair experience, I find it quite unusual to see the engine warning light on in a new car. New vehicles shouldn't have such issues - it's likely a warning sign. Common causes include sensor false alarms or minor emission system faults, like a dirty oxygen sensor or loose fuel cap. Don't attempt DIY repairs - new cars are under warranty. Just drive directly to the 4S dealership to have them read the trouble codes with their computer system. They'll perform free inspection and repairs. Ignoring the warning light could lead to skyrocketing fuel consumption or engine damage - I've seen this happen to a friend's car, resulting in hundreds in repair costs later. During regular maintenance, remind technicians to check the computer system as preventive care.
