When the SVS fault indicator light comes on in a diesel vehicle, it means that the ECU (Engine Control Unit) or TCU (Transmission Control Unit) of the electronically controlled fuel injection vehicle has detected a problem with the engine or automatic transmission. Below is relevant information about other indicator lights on the vehicle dashboard: 1. Door status indicator light: This light indicates whether the doors are fully closed. When a door is open or fails to close properly, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate, alerting the owner that the door is not properly closed. The light will turn off once the door is closed. 2. Parking indicator light: This light comes on when the parking brake handle (i.e., handbrake) is engaged. When the handbrake is released, the indicator light will automatically turn off. In some vehicle models, this light may also illuminate when the brake fluid is insufficient.

How to Handle Speeding Violations in Another Location?

If a driver is caught speeding by traffic police in another location, the police will issue a ticket, and the driver only needs to pay the fine at the local traffic management department. Some provinces and cities allow others to handle the violation on behalf of the driver, so you can ask a friend in that location to assist with the process. Nowadays, you can also handle it online. Since the traffic systems are interconnected nationwide, you can pay the fine through relevant software.
