DEF light on indicates that the car's auxiliary water tank is low on water. The reasons for the auxiliary water tank being low on water are: 1. There is a leak in the cooling system or a slight gasket failure in the cylinder head; 2. The coolant temperature is too high, causing the system to be low on water; 3. The water pump seizes, damaging the timing belt and causing the piston to hit the valves; 4. The cylinder head gasket fails, mixing with engine oil or being discharged through the exhaust pipe. The car's auxiliary water tank is part of the engine cooling system and serves to balance the pressure in the radiator. The methods for the auxiliary water tank are: 1. Stop and check if the temperature is too high while driving; 2. Stop immediately and check if smoke is coming from the radiator; 3. Regularly replace the coolant.
