What does the car check mean?
2 Answers
Car check refers to the engine indicator light, which is used to display the working condition of the vehicle's engine. Here is an introduction about it: 1. Unlike specific indicator lights such as oil pressure light, brake failure light, or water temperature light, the engine fault light is not easy to determine a specific fault point when it lights up, as many engine problems can cause this light to illuminate. 2. This indicator light is used to display the working condition of the vehicle's engine. When the ignition is turned on, the light will illuminate during the vehicle's self-check and then automatically turn off. If it remains lit, it indicates that there is a mechanical fault in the vehicle's engine that requires repair.
Having driven for so many years, I'm quite familiar with the indicator lights on the dashboard. The 'check' light in a car usually refers to the vehicle's inspection indicator, mainly used to alert you that the car needs a check-up. It's normal for this light to come on briefly during startup and then turn off, indicating the car is performing a self-check. However, if this light comes on while driving, you need to be extra cautious. It could be signaling an engine issue, an emission system fault, or fuel line problems. I once encountered this situation myself, and after checking, it turned out to be a loose fuel cap causing a false alarm. So my advice is, don't panic when you see the light come on; find a safe place to pull over and check if the car is making any unusual noises or shaking violently. If it's not severe, you can drive slowly to a repair shop, but if the light keeps flashing, you should turn off the engine immediately and call for roadside assistance.
