What does it mean when the yellow P light is on?
1 Answers
When the yellow P light is illuminated, it indicates a fault in the parking brake or ABS system, requiring further inspection and confirmation. Additional details are as follows: 1. P light in the instrument cluster: Generally represents the vehicle's parking brake system, also known as the handbrake system. When the P light in the instrument cluster is illuminated, it can appear in three different colors. The meaning may vary slightly depending on the vehicle brand and the color of the P light. 2. Red P light illuminated: Indicates that the parking brake system is engaged, meaning the handbrake is pulled tight. This is indicated in red in the instrument cluster and is a normal state, not a fault. If it lights up or flashes along with other warning lights, such as the ABS system light, it indicates a system fault. 3. Green or blue P light illuminated: Indicates that the automatic parking (AUTO-HOLD) system is functioning normally. The P light will illuminate to alert the driver when the system is active.
