What Causes the Warning Light to Illuminate in the SAIC Roewe i6?
2 Answers
Warning lights generally illuminate due to a fault in a certain part of the vehicle. Below is a detailed introduction to the warning lights in the SAIC Roewe i6: 1. Seat Belt Indicator: This light indicates whether the seat belt is locked. When it lights up, it means the seat belt has not been fastened promptly. 2. Door Indicator: This light shows the status of all vehicle doors. If any door is not closed or not properly closed, the light will illuminate. 3. Oil Pressure Indicator: This light displays the oil pressure status in the engine. When the ignition is turned on and the vehicle begins self-checking, the light will illuminate and then turn off after the engine starts. If the light remains on, it indicates that the engine oil pressure is below the required standard and requires maintenance. 4. Fuel Level Indicator: This light shows the amount of fuel in the vehicle. When the ignition is turned on and the vehicle performs a self-check, the fuel level indicator will briefly illuminate and then turn off. If the light remains on after starting, it means the fuel level is low. 5. ABS Indicator: This light displays the working status of the ABS. When the ignition is turned on and the vehicle performs a self-check, the ABS light will illuminate for a few seconds and then turn off. If it does not light up or remains on after starting, it indicates an ABS malfunction. 6. Handbrake Indicator: This light shows the status of the handbrake. Normally, it is off. When the handbrake is engaged, the light will automatically illuminate. When the handbrake is released, the light will turn off.
The issue of the Roewe i6's warning light coming on is quite common. I once experienced it with my old car, and most of the time, it's due to sensor problems—like the oxygen sensor detecting abnormal exhaust or inaccurate air flow, triggering the computer to light up the warning. Using low-quality fuel or having impurities in the fuel system can also activate the warning light. Minor issues such as aging spark plugs, damaged or malfunctioning ignition coils, leading to engine shaking and increased fuel consumption, can cause the light to flash as a warning. It could also be an exhaust system fault, like a clogged catalytic converter triggering an alert. During regular maintenance, it's advisable to check for loose wiring in the engine compartment and ensure stable battery voltage, as electrical interference can cause false alarms. In any case, don't delay—promptly visit a 4S shop or repair shop to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool, and the light will go off once the specific issue is fixed.
