What does a teapot appearing on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
An icon of a teapot on the car dashboard is the engine oil pressure warning light. Below are extended details about the engine oil pressure warning light: 1. The oil indicator light is used to display the pressure condition of the engine oil inside the engine. 2. When the ignition is turned on and the vehicle begins self-check, the indicator light will illuminate. After starting the engine, it should turn off. If the indicator light remains on, it indicates that the engine oil pressure is below the specified standard and requires maintenance. 3. When the engine is running, if the oil pressure in the main oil passage is too low, the oil pressure warning light (red) will illuminate, indicating a fault in the engine lubrication system. The engine should be stopped immediately for inspection and repair.
