What Causes the Engine Warning Light to Illuminate in the Roewe 350?
1 Answers
The engine warning light in the Roewe 350 may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or their signals are interrupted, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the engine warning light. Fuel or oil quality issues: Failure to use the fuel or engine oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to the illumination of the warning light. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: This can result in engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by the oxygen sensor and reported to the ECU, the warning light will illuminate as a warning. Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion. Turbocharger problems: Issues with the intake boost piping or turbocharger can also trigger the engine warning light. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black smoke from the exhaust. Intake problems: If there are issues with the vehicle's air intake, it may lead to engine pipe blockages, and in severe cases, trigger the engine warning light. A dirty or uncleaned air filter can cause intake problems. Exhaust problems: Exhaust system faults can also cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Common causes include faulty rear oxygen sensors, catalytic converter issues, or problems with the exhaust camshaft and bearings. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-based lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can contribute to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions or if there is a mismatch between the anti-theft controller and the engine ECU, the anti-theft system may prevent the engine from operating normally, accompanied by the illumination of the engine warning light. If the engine warning light illuminates, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is running normally. Look for symptoms such as shaking or black smoke. If present, avoid restarting the engine. Note: Do not restart the engine if the red warning light is on. If the engine can be started, turn it off and wait 5-10 minutes. Without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'ON' position (without engaging the clutch). The vehicle will enter self-check mode after powering on. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if the warning light turns off. If the warning light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible. Technicians can use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes, identify the issue, and perform targeted repairs.
