Baojun 510 engine warning light may come on due to: 1. Sensor malfunction; 2. Circuit failure; 3. Mechanical issue. If the engine warning light illuminates, it is recommended to visit a 4S dealership for professional technicians to read the fault codes using a diagnostic computer. The Baojun 510 is a compact SUV under the Baojun brand, with dimensions of 4220mm in length, 1740mm in width, and 1625mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine across all variants, delivering a maximum power of 105 horsepower and a peak torque of 135 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5600 rpm and its peak torque between 3600 to 5200 rpm. The engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and utilizes an aluminum cylinder head with a cast iron cylinder block.
I'm the owner of a Baojun 510. Once while driving, the engine malfunction indicator light suddenly came on, which scared me so much that I immediately slowed down and pulled over. Later at the 4S shop, they found it was a false alarm caused by a dirty oxygen sensor, and it worked fine after cleaning. The mechanic said this issue is quite common, possibly due to carbon buildup from poor fuel quality or sensor aging. It's important to always use proper gasoline and not go for cheap options. If the light stays on constantly, it needs immediate attention as it could indicate ignition system issues like spark plug problems or fuel line blockages. Don't delay, otherwise it could damage the engine and increase fuel consumption.
