What Causes the Red Exclamation Mark on the Dashboard?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning for the braking system, mainly due to brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark representing brake system issues, other exclamation marks on the car are yellow, indicating general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance or components and functions. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant below the normal range. Transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
