What does the yellow circle with an exclamation mark warning light mean?
1 Answers
A circle with an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a warning related to the braking system, primarily signaling either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Solution: Immediate inspection and repair of the braking system are required to prevent accidents. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Apart from the circle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a triangle with an exclamation mark, a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a bracket 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 scenarios: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Possible issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. A visit to a 4S shop is necessary to diagnose and address the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. Timely replacement of transmission fluid is required. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates 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 one of 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 lighting, to identify the issue.
