What Causes the Engine Yellow Light on the Dashboard of a New Car?
1 Answers
There are two reasons why the engine yellow light on the dashboard of a new car may illuminate: The first is when the car's power is turned on, the vehicle undergoes a self-check. During this time, not only the engine yellow light but also other warning lights will illuminate simultaneously before turning off, which is a normal phenomenon. The second reason is if the engine fault yellow light remains on after the car is started. This indicates that the ECU is alerting you to a fault in the engine, which is an abnormal condition. When the engine fault light on the dashboard comes on, you can try starting and turning off the vehicle three times in a row, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, reconnect it, and then attempt to start the car. After performing the above methods, check if the engine fault light on the dashboard is still on. Generally, when the engine fault light on the dashboard is illuminated, it cannot be manually reset. It usually requires a visit to a 4S shop to use a fault diagnostic tool for troubleshooting before it can be cleared. The methods mentioned here are only for addressing false fault phenomena in the engine. If they prove ineffective, it is recommended to visit a specialized repair shop for inspection and resolution.
