What does it mean when the steering wheel yellow light is on?

Engine malfunction is detected, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. The following is an introduction about the steering wheel: 1. Introduction to the steering wheel: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. 2. Function of the steering wheel: The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft through splines, and its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. When steering with a larger diameter steering wheel, the hand force required by the driver can be smaller. The steering transmission shaft serves as a connecting piece between the steering gear and the steering shaft, which is beneficial for the generalization of the steering gear, compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, and makes the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel on the vehicle more reasonable.
The yellow steering wheel light came on while I was driving to work, and my heart skipped a beat. It usually indicates an issue with the power steering system, such as a faulty steering sensor or a damaged power module. Common causes include dirty sensors, poor circuit contact, or low voltage. That time, I immediately pulled over to check the tire pressure, which was normal. After turning the car off and on again, the light went out, but I still went to the repair shop. It turned out to be a minor issue—a loose wire. A reminder to everyone: never ignore this light, as losing steering control is very dangerous. Addressing it promptly can avoid major repairs. For prevention, it's recommended to regularly clean sensor connectors and check the battery's health. While driving, stay calm and avoid sudden acceleration. Safety should always come first.
