When the engine fault light appears on a car, it indicates that there is an issue with the engine that requires inspection. Here are some details about the engine indicator light: 1. Generally, when starting the car, the onboard computer performs a self-check of the entire system, and all indicator lights will briefly illuminate. After the startup is complete, the indicator lights should turn off. 2. If the fault light remains on after the car has started, an inspection is necessary. 3. The engine indicator light is used to display the working condition of the vehicle's engine. If it stays on continuously, it means there is a mechanical fault with the engine that requires repair.

Why does a BMW shake when cold?

The reasons for a BMW shaking when cold are: 1. Low temperature: The exhaust pipe and oxygen sensor are cold, causing the vehicle's ECU to be unable to obtain accurate data promptly, resulting in errors in ignition and fuel-air mixture control, which weakens the vehicle's power output; 2. Carbon buildup in the engine: Carbon deposits on the throttle body have adhesion, preventing the fuel injection from reaching the required gasoline amount for combustion; 3. Aging spark plugs: Different ignition gaps cause deviations in the power output of each cylinder. Taking the BMW 525Li as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, a wheelbase of 3105mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters.
