What are the warning lights on the Changan CS55?
2 Answers
There are 16 types of warning lights on the Changan CS55, including the engine warning light, engine malfunction light, oil pressure warning light, coolant temperature warning light, tire pressure warning light, brake fluid warning light, airbag fault warning light, power steering fluid warning light, windshield washer fluid reminder light, handbrake light, door ajar warning light, position light, headlight reminder light, fog light activation reminder light, 4WD mode change reminder light, and hill descent assist reminder light. Below is an introduction to the reasons why these warning lights may illuminate: Sensor issues: When the coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air flow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, or oxygen sensor is damaged, has poor contact, or experiences signal interruption, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data. Maintenance issues: Failure to perform regular maintenance and poor driving habits can increase the operational burden on the engine.
I've been driving the Changan CS55 for almost two years now, and I've seen the warning lights come on several times, which is quite annoying. The most common one is the engine fault light, that little yellow engine icon. When it lights up, it indicates an issue with emissions or the ignition system, possibly due to carbon buildup or a faulty sensor. Then there's the battery light, red like a small battery, which means there's a problem with the alternator or charging system, and you need to check and replace parts immediately. The oil pressure light is also red, indicating low oil levels or a faulty pump, and if not addressed promptly, it can damage the engine. The ABS light signals an issue with the anti-lock braking system, often because the sensors get dirty. The airbag light is even more critical—if it's on and you get into an accident, the airbags might not deploy, which is dangerous. I usually use a diagnostic tool regularly to read the codes and figure out the cause before fixing anything, to avoid unnecessary expenses.
