What does the SVS on the dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The SVS on the dashboard is a malfunction indicator light, which is a warning light that appears when the ECU or TCU of an electronically fuel-injected vehicle detects an issue with the engine or automatic transmission. All electronically fuel-injected vehicles are equipped with an SVS malfunction indicator light. For manual transmission vehicles, it indicates an engine malfunction; for automatic transmission vehicles, it indicates issues with both the engine and the automatic transmission. It is recommended to visit a repair shop for inspection as soon as possible. The SVS light is a standard indicator in the automotive industry, responsible for warning about abnormalities in the powertrain system and prompting users to have the vehicle serviced. When the powertrain system's self-diagnosis detects an abnormality, the SVS light will alert the user to have the vehicle inspected. The SVS light warning may originate from the engine, transmission, or gear shift control mechanism.
