What does it mean when the engine light is flashing yellow in a car?

When the engine light in a car is flashing yellow, it indicates that there is a problem with the car's engine. There are many reasons why the engine fault light may come on, such as poor fuel quality leading to incomplete combustion, oxygen sensor malfunction, air flow sensor failure, spark plug carbon buildup, engine knocking, coolant temperature sensor damage, or the car's computer failing to retrieve engine data. It could also be due to poor engine maintenance causing the engine fault light to illuminate. The vehicle body has more than 10 sensors, any of which could trigger the fault light. Only a computer diagnostic can pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. It is recommended that the owner take the car to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible.
