What are the reasons for the engine yellow light on the dashboard?

The reasons for the engine yellow light on the dashboard are: 1. Poor gasoline quality leading to incomplete combustion of the mixture in the cylinder, resulting in carbon deposits; 2. The engine has been driven for too long, and the working characteristics of the spark plugs have weakened; 3. Mechanical aging of the vehicle; 4. Damage, poor contact, or signal interruption of the water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, or oxygen sensors. The solutions for the engine yellow light on the dashboard are: 1. Check the condition of the car engine in time; 2. Check the condition of the car's sensors, air flow sensors, and spark plug components; 3. Check whether the car has a knocking situation; 4. Check whether the ignition coil is faulty; 5. Clean the engine carbon deposits.
When the engine yellow light comes on, the first thing I think of is common fault points. The engine yellow light indicates a problem with the engine management system, most commonly an oxygen sensor failure – it triggers when emissions exceed standards. Worn spark plugs can also cause poor ignition, lighting up the warning; or insufficient fuel system pressure leading to uneven fuel injection. Ignoring these issues can increase fuel consumption and even damage the engine. I recommend using an OBD scanner to read the error codes as soon as possible to pinpoint the source. During repairs, prioritize checking sensors and ignition components – they're cost-effective fixes with noticeable results. Regular maintenance cleaning of related parts can prevent frequent warning lights, ensuring both driving safety and economy.
