What does the kettle symbol on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
Car displaying a kettle symbol refers to the engine oil pressure warning light, which serves an alert function. If this light stays steadily illuminated or flashes intermittently during normal vehicle operation, it is essential to check whether the engine is low on oil. Common causes for oil pressure insufficient warnings include: malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, insufficient oil level, clogged oil pump screen, or oil pump damage. Immediate repair is required when the oil warning signal appears. Frequent causes for this fault are: 1. Oil pressure switch failure; 2. Related circuit faults; 3. Instrument cluster damage; 4. Clogged oil pump screen or internal pressure relief valve issues; 5. Oil filter clogging or installation of substandard/incompatible replacement parts.
