What does the exclamation mark light on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 5 possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, braking system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these 5 situations: General Faults: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. This mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Faults: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Braking System Faults: An exclamation mark in the middle of a circle with brackets represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a fault in the braking system or low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under brackets represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Faults: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in the car's lights. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or you can check by yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to see where the problem lies.
