What Causes the Vehicle Malfunction Indicator Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
The reason is that there is a malfunction in a certain part of the vehicle, prompting the owner to carry out repairs as soon as possible. Common methods for dealing with illuminated vehicle malfunction indicator lights are as follows: 1. Engine Oil Warning Light: If this light illuminates or flashes, you must immediately stop and turn off the engine. Check the engine oil level and add oil to the appropriate level based on the specific situation. If the oil level is normal but the light continues to flash, do not continue driving or let the engine idle. Seek professional inspection and repair. 2. Brake System Warning Light: If this light illuminates, you must immediately stop and turn off the engine. Check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is below the "min" mark, do not continue driving and seek professional inspection and repair. If the fluid level is normal, it may indicate an electrical control issue in the brake system, such as excessive wear of brake pads. Drive cautiously and proceed to the nearest authorized service station for repairs as soon as possible. 3. Alternator Warning Light: If this light illuminates while driving, immediately stop and turn off the engine for inspection. Check whether the alternator belt is damaged. If the belt is loose or broken, do not continue driving; repair it before proceeding. If the belt is undamaged and not loose, but the light remains on, visit an authorized service station for inspection as soon as possible. During the journey, avoid using electrical equipment unless absolutely necessary, and turn off the air conditioning system to prevent continuous battery discharge.
