There are five situations when an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general faults, automatic transmission faults, brake system faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. The following is a detailed analysis of these five situations: General faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance, components, or functions have malfunctioned. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light will illuminate when the car's 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, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. You can also perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the problem.
