What does it mean when the engine light turns yellow while driving a sedan?
1 Answers
Reasons for the engine light turning yellow while driving a sedan: 1. Oxygen sensor malfunction: Damaged oxygen sensor or loose/damaged sensor connector, causing the air-fuel mixture to be too lean or too rich; 2. Mass airflow sensor failure: Faulty mass airflow sensor or circuit prevents the ECU from receiving correct intake air volume signals, leading to improper fuel control and abnormal air-fuel mixture, resulting in engine malfunction; 3. Spark plug carbon buildup: Causes poor engine performance, including difficult starting, unstable idle, poor acceleration, backfiring during sudden acceleration, and excessive exhaust emissions; 4. Engine knocking: Manifests as weak vehicle power, excessive engine noise, and in severe cases accompanied by piston slap sounds.
