What does it mean when the SVS light appears on the engine dashboard?
1 Answers
The SVS light in a car is similar to the engine malfunction indicator light. When the SVS indicator illuminates, it indicates that the engine control unit has detected an error signal from a certain sensor or that the sensor has exceeded the standard usage limits. This light will turn on when the vehicle's ignition key is turned and should go off after the vehicle is started. Here are some relevant details: 1. The computer diagnostic system may report SVS when it cannot pinpoint the exact location of the fault. Sometimes, it could simply be an issue with "fuel quality" or a poor connection in a wiring harness that triggers the light. 2. You can try starting the engine. If the engine fails to start, it could indicate an issue with the fuel pump, which may not be supplying fuel properly to the engine. If the engine starts, the problem might lie with other sensors. In this case, the car may still be drivable, but the fault could affect normal vehicle operation, leading to issues like increased fuel consumption or engine vibrations.
