What does it mean when the engine malfunction indicator light flashes?

Reasons for the engine malfunction indicator light flashing: 1. Excessive engine carbon buildup; 2. Poor fuel quality or failure to perform regular maintenance. The solution is to clean the carbon deposits. Once the cleaning is completed and the exhaust emissions meet standards, the malfunction light will turn off. When a series of codes are generated, it indicates a vehicle malfunction. The onboard computer that reads the fault codes will display them on the dashboard in the form of indicator lights. The engine malfunction indicator light flashing on the dashboard is a reminder that there is an issue with the engine. The engine malfunction light is a signal sent by the ECU indicating a problem with the car's engine. All electronic components of the engine are controlled by the ECU, and a malfunction in a specific engine component causes the engine malfunction light to flash.
