What does it mean when the engine malfunction indicator light flashes?
1 Answers
Engine malfunction indicator light flashing may indicate a fault in a certain component of the engine, which is an abnormal phenomenon. There are three possible scenarios when the engine malfunction light flashes: 1. The light is on but there are no abnormal driving conditions - this may just be a sensor malfunction, and you can continue driving temporarily, but it's best to drive at low to medium speeds. 2. The engine malfunction light is on and the vehicle can still be driven, but there are severe vibrations, lack of acceleration power, and other symptoms - this situation requires roadside assistance. 3. The car cannot start - this may be caused by a fuel pump or ignition component failure, in which case you can only call for help.
