What does the exclamation mark light mean?
1 Answers
When an indicator light with an exclamation mark appears on the dashboard, it indicates an abnormality or malfunction in the corresponding part of the vehicle. There are various fault lights with exclamation marks in a car, each representing different issues. These mainly include the handbrake warning light, brake system fault warning light, steering system fault warning light, tire pressure abnormality warning light, lighting system fault warning light, transmission fault warning light, and windshield wiper fault warning light. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Yellow triangle exclamation mark: This yellow triangle exclamation mark is a general fault indicator light. It may illuminate due to reasons such as clutch overheating, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, parking sensor fault, exterior light bulb fault, engine oil pressure sensor fault, or traction control system warning or malfunction. 2. Tire pressure indicator light: Also a type of exclamation mark fault light. It briefly illuminates during ignition but automatically turns off after a few seconds, which is normal. However, if the tire pressure indicator light stays on or flashes, the most likely reason is abnormal tire pressure in one of the tires. 3. Lighting fault light: This light turns on when an exterior light bulb malfunctions, featuring an exclamation mark inside the bulb symbol, making it part of the exclamation mark fault light category. 4. Steering system fault indicator light: Also marked with an exclamation sign. It illuminates when the electric/mechanical steering mechanism fails or when there is a fault in the steering column lock. 5. Brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator light, and windshield wiper fault indicator light: If these lights stay on or flash, it means the corresponding system has a fault, and the vehicle should be stopped immediately for inspection.
