What Causes the Exclamation Mark to Appear on the Car Dashboard?
1 Answers
There are roughly three scenarios when an exclamation mark warning light appears on the car dashboard: 1. A triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, which is the general fault indicator light. It may illuminate under the following circumstances: (1) Overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch. (2) Fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction. (3) Parking sensor failure. (4) External light malfunction. (5) Engine oil pressure sensor failure. (6) Traction control system warning or malfunction. 2. A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, which is the brake system warning light. It may illuminate under the following circumstances: (1) Some vehicles light up for a few seconds after turning on the ignition switch and turn off after starting the engine. (2) It lights up when the handbrake is engaged and turns off when released. (3) Brake fluid level is too low, lighting up while driving. (4) Brake system malfunction. 3. A horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle: This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the pressure in one of the vehicle's tires is too low.
