What Does the Engine Symbol on the Dashboard Mean?
1 Answers
When the engine symbol appears on the dashboard, it indicates that the ignition switch is turned on, the control indicator light is illuminated, and it should turn off shortly after the engine starts. An engine is a machine that converts one form of energy into another, typically transforming chemical energy into mechanical energy. The reasons for the engine yellow light appearing on the dashboard include: 1. A clogged car air filter causing restricted airflow; 2. Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, or blocked fuel lines leading to poor combustion of the engine's air-fuel mixture; 3. Improper maintenance increasing the engine's operational burden; 4. Poor fuel quality resulting in increased carbon deposits inside the engine cylinders.
