What Causes the Yellow Warning Light in a Car?
1 Answers
Car yellow warning light indicates an abnormality or malfunction in a certain system of the vehicle. Here are some common reasons for the yellow warning light: 1. Sensor issues: Sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors may cause the engine malfunction light to illuminate when damaged, poorly connected, or sending interrupted signals, preventing the ECU from accurately obtaining engine data. 2. Maintenance problems: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine malfunction light. If the owner fails to perform regular maintenance and has poor driving habits, it will increase the burden on the engine. 3. Fuel and oil quality issues: The quality of fuel and oil is crucial. Cars require specific fuel grades, and oil can be semi-synthetic or fully synthetic. Manufacturers usually recommend which fuel grade to use. Failure to follow these recommendations can lead to engine wear and frequent malfunctions over time. 4. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture: Issues such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump problems, or clogged fuel lines can cause poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine.
