What does Audi check mean?
2 Answers
Audi check is the vehicle's self-inspection function. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction to check: After pressing this button, the car's control computer will inspect various systems. If any system malfunctions, it will be displayed on the instrument panel to alert the driver. 2. Function: When the car key is inserted and turned to the ACC position, all indicators on the dashboard will light up, including the yellow engine indicator. This is a check of the components related to these indicators. After a few seconds, if there are no faults, these indicator lights will automatically turn off. Then you can normally start the car.
I've been driving Audis for over a decade. When the 'check' light on the dashboard comes on, it usually means the vehicle system has detected some abnormalities, such as a minor fault in the engine control unit or issues with the emission system. Last time my A4 had this light on, it was due to an oxygen sensor signal deviation causing excessive emissions. Once this light illuminates, the system automatically stores the fault code, so it's best to scan and read the specific error with diagnostic equipment as soon as possible. If ignored, it may lead to increased fuel consumption or even rough engine operation, affecting driving safety. For repairs, it's more reliable to visit an Audi specialist workshop, as they can accurately address the issue. In daily driving, regular maintenance checks on sensors and wiring can prevent such problems.
