What does an exclamation mark inside a gear mean?
1 Answers
A 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. It is necessary to replace the transmission oil promptly. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. Besides the exclamation mark inside a gear, there are four other forms of exclamation marks: an exclamation mark inside a triangle, an exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses, an exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a general performance or component malfunction in the car. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses. This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a malfunction in the car's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue.
