What does SVS on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
SVS on the dashboard refers to the engine malfunction indicator light. The light turns on when the vehicle's ignition key is turned on and goes off after the vehicle is started. When the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light illuminates. If the light comes on while the vehicle is in motion, it indicates a fault in the vehicle's engine. The SVS light is a standard indicator in the automotive industry, responsible for warning of abnormalities in the powertrain system and prompting users to take the vehicle to a service center for inspection. The alert originates from the engine, transmission, and gear shift control mechanism. Fuel-injected vehicles all have an SVS fault indicator light; for manual transmissions, it serves as the engine fault indicator, while for automatic transmissions, it indicates both engine and automatic transmission faults.
