What does it mean when the exclamation mark warning light comes on in a Jetta?
1 Answers
There are three scenarios when the exclamation mark warning light illuminates in a Jetta: first, the general fault indicator light comes on; second, the tire pressure indicator light activates; third, the lighting fault light turns on. General Fault Indicator: The yellow triangle with an exclamation mark is the general fault indicator. It may illuminate due to reasons such as clutch overheating, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, parking sensor failure, exterior light bulb failure, engine oil pressure sensor malfunction, or traction control system warning/failure. Tire Pressure Indicator: The tire pressure indicator, which also features an exclamation mark, briefly lights up during ignition before automatically turning off after a few seconds - this is normal. However, if the tire pressure indicator remains lit or flashes continuously, the most likely cause is abnormal pressure in one of the tires. Lighting Fault Indicator: The lighting fault indicator activates when an exterior light bulb malfunctions. This warning displays a bulb symbol with an exclamation mark inside, classifying it among the exclamation mark warning lights.
