The reasons for the engine malfunction light in the Binyue coming on are: 1. Sensor malfunction; 2. Maintenance issues; 3. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture; 4. Poor fuel quality; 5. Dirty air filter. The Binyue's body dimensions are: length 4330mm, width 1800mm, height 1609mm, with a wheelbase of 2600mm and a fuel tank capacity of 45 liters. The Binyue is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 104 kW and a maximum torque of 235 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.
Last time I encountered a similar situation, I recommended checking these areas immediately: whether the engine oil level is sufficient, the quality of the oil, and whether the ignition coils and spark plugs are functioning properly. A yellow engine light is most likely caused by false alarms from abnormal oxygen sensors, intake pressure sensors, or crankshaft position sensors. If this happens right after refueling, it could be due to clogged catalytic converters caused by poor-quality gasoline. Newer car models are very sensitive; even slight carbon buildup on the mass airflow sensor can trigger an error. I've dealt with this many times myself and found that the throttle body on the Bin Yue model gets dirty particularly easily—cleaning it usually solves the problem. If all else fails, just buy an OBD scanner to connect to your phone and check the fault codes—it's much better than guessing blindly.
As someone who often helps friends with car issues, I think the engine light shouldn't cause panic but must be taken seriously. About 80% of the time it's emission-related faults, like a stuck carbon canister purge valve or a loose fuel cap. The most ridiculous situation I've encountered was when an aftermarket air filter caused incorrect readings from the mass airflow sensor. My advice is to immediately pull over, turn off the engine, wait ten minutes, and restart - sometimes the computer's false alarm can clear itself. If the light comes on again, read the trouble codes as soon as possible. Don't be like my neighbor who kept driving for half a month, ending up spending over 4,000 yuan to replace the catalytic converter.
