1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 4 possible situations: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting failure. Below is a detailed analysis of these 4 situations: General malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance or components and functions. Main issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the malfunction. Automatic transmission failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside. This is the automatic transmission failure warning light, indicating that there is a malfunction in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced promptly. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will illuminate. It is necessary to check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. This is the lighting failure indicator light, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself. Focus on checking commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem lies. There is also a red exclamation mark with a bracket and a circle in the middle. This represents a warning for the braking system, mainly indicating a malfunction in the braking system or low brake fluid level. The braking system needs to be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.
