What does the exclamation mark on the Tundra dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are five possible scenarios when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, brake system fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. The following is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that the transmission has a fault or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark below a horizontal line with parentheses represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's tire pressure is too low. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to see where the problem lies.
