What does the STOP fault code mean?
1 Answers
The STOP light in a car is a mandatory parking alarm light, which typically illuminates simultaneously with one of the warning lights such as low oil pressure, low brake fluid level, or high coolant temperature, indicating that the engine must be stopped immediately. Please shut down the engine as soon as possible and promptly troubleshoot the issue. Do not start the engine until the fault is resolved. Specific faults need to be diagnosed using a diesel decoder. Low engine oil pressure can lead to poor lubrication, increased cylinder wear, and in severe cases, engine bearing seizure, causing the engine to malfunction. High engine oil pressure accelerates premature wear of the oil pump and results in excessive oil consumption. High coolant temperature is detrimental to fuel efficiency and increases component wear. When the temperature exceeds 90°C, the engine power decreases accordingly. Excessively high temperatures can also cause detonation, leading to a series of issues such as cylinder scoring, cylinder head gasket damage, and component deformation. Brake system failures may result in sudden brake failure, brake pull, or brake vibration. If the brake system malfunctions, you must stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive may lead to traffic accidents.
