What causes the yellow exclamation mark on the Volvo dashboard?
1 Answers
There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance or components and functions have malfunctioned. This mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This warning light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting faults: A yellow bulb exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem lies. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with a bracket, which represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a braking system failure or low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.
