What does a yellow P light with a slash mean?
1 Answers
On the car dashboard, a yellow P light with a slash indicates that the parking brake is engaged, meaning the handbrake is in the braking position and not fully released. Here is some additional information: 1. Precautions: If the parking brake malfunctions, drive with caution. If the handbrake is completely released, it indicates a warning for a brake system failure. Check if there is any issue with the handbrake, whether the brake fluid is low, if the handbrake is fully disengaged, and if the handbrake cable connection is normal. Visit a repair shop for inspection and maintenance as soon as possible. 2. Reasons for the light: The reason could be a lack of brake fluid, which is an essential part of the car's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel brake cylinders, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle from moving forward.
