Is the Engine Malfunction Light Covered Under the Three Guarantees?

Engine malfunction light is covered under the three guarantees. Engine Introduction: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power unit. Precautions for Engine Use: It is essential to use engine oil of the appropriate quality grade, as this is crucial for ensuring the engine operates normally. Select oil with the correct viscosity, choosing the appropriate viscosity based on local temperature conditions. Maintain good crankcase ventilation. Gases that enter the crankcase from the combustion chamber are corrosive and can cause the oil to oxidize and deteriorate, as well as contaminate the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure good crankcase ventilation.

Recently, the engine warning light in my car suddenly came on, and I'm quite nervous. Does this fall under the three-guarantee coverage? Based on experience, if your car is still within the new car warranty period—usually two to three years or within 60,000 kilometers—the engine warning light coming on is mostly covered by the three-guarantee responsibility. This means if the issue stems from manufacturing defects, such as sensor failure or internal engine problems, the manufacturer will be responsible for free repairs or replacements. However, if it's caused by improper use on your part, like using low-quality fuel or accidentally damaging the wiring, it might not be covered. I must emphasize that you can't ignore this warning light—it could indicate safety hazards, so you should take it to a professional repair shop for a comprehensive diagnosis as soon as you notice it. Remember, the three-guarantee policy is designed to protect car owners, but only if the issue is an original quality problem.

A friend previously asked whether the engine malfunction indicator light being on is covered under the Three Guarantees policy. Let me explain based on practical experience. Assuming your car is still within the warranty period, such as the first two years for a new car, the light being on is likely covered by the Three Guarantees. The illumination of this light could stem from minor issues like a short circuit in the engine sensor or more serious defects. The key point is that the Three Guarantees only cover quality issues in new cars, not all problems. Therefore, you need to promptly contact the dealership to check the fault codes. If it's determined to be a manufacturing defect from the factory, they must address it; otherwise, you might have to pay out of pocket. I recommend car owners maintain regular maintenance to detect issues early and minimize expenses.

My car's engine warning light recently came on, and I want to know if it's covered under the warranty. Normally, if the light comes on during the new car warranty period, it's likely covered, but if it's beyond the warranty period or due to external causes, it may not be. Remember to stop and check the cause immediately after the light comes on to avoid engine damage.
