What does the red exclamation mark light indicate?
1 Answers
The red exclamation mark (specifically a circle with an exclamation mark inside brackets) represents a warning for the braking system, primarily indicating either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system is required to avoid accidents. Apart from the red exclamation mark indicating brake system issues, other exclamation marks on a car are yellow, representing general faults, automatic transmission issues, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a general performance or component malfunction. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external lighting faults, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission warning light, indicating a transmission fault or low transmission fluid. Timely replacement of transmission fluid is required. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under brackets with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when tire pressure is too low. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting System Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark indicates a lighting system fault. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
