What does the triangle warning light with an exclamation mark mean?
1 Answers
A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance or components and functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in cars. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, meaning there is a transmission issue or the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, primarily indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A parenthesis with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light turns on when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the issue.
