What does an exclamation mark on a steering wheel mean?
1 Answers
A steering wheel with an exclamation mark is the electric power steering system warning light, indicating a fault in the vehicle's electric power steering system. The electric power steering system indicator light remains illuminated when the ignition switch is turned on or during driving, signaling a fault in the electric power steering system. Please promptly visit the nearest 4S store or repair shop for inspection and repair. Reasons for the electric power steering system fault light to illuminate include: 1. The fault light remains constantly lit, indicating a complete failure of the electric power steering system, requiring inspection and replacement of faulty components at a repair facility; 2. The light briefly illuminates for five to ten minutes and then turns off, which is caused by overheating of the electric power steering motor. The electric power steering system will enter an overheating protection mode, reducing or temporarily suspending motor assistance, and will restore assistance once the motor temperature decreases.
