What Does a Circle with an Exclamation Mark Warning Light Mean?
1 Answers
Red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside parentheses) indicates a warning related to the braking system, primarily signaling either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to prevent accidents. Aside from the red exclamation mark representing brake system faults, all other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, indicating general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting malfunctions. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or transmission fluid level below the normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
