What Causes the Red Light on the Dashboard to Flash?
1 Answers
The flashing red light on the dashboard may be caused by the following reasons: 1. The water temperature warning light indicates that the engine is overheating. Possible causes include low coolant level, faulty water temperature sensor, or issues with the water circulation cooling system. You should stop and check immediately to avoid engine damage. 2. If the brake warning light comes on, it may indicate worn-out brake pads, low brake fluid, or a short circuit in the wiring. If the brake warning light is on, you should stop and check whether the brakes are functioning properly and if the vehicle can be stopped safely. Drive to the nearest repair shop for inspection promptly. Otherwise, severe brake failure may lead to accidents. 3. If the ABS warning light is on, it may indicate a braking issue. Check whether the signal interruption is caused by dirt on the wheels or a faulty sensor to reduce safety hazards.
