What does the yellow exclamation mark in Honda indicate?
1 Answers
The appearance of an exclamation mark on the car dashboard indicates an abnormality or fault in the corresponding system. There are many indicator lights on the car dashboard that feature an exclamation mark, such as the tire pressure indicator, lighting fault indicator, steering system fault indicator, brake system fault light, transmission fault indicator, and wiper fault indicator. Below is a detailed explanation of the exclamation mark fault lights: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside. If this symbol lights up, it indicates a fault in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, 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. This is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses. This represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system fault or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Abnormality: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under parentheses. This represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which lights up 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. This is the lighting fault indicator, indicating a fault in one of the car lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue. In addition, during daily use of the vehicle, the fault lights displayed on the dashboard are divided into two different colors, yellow and red: Yellow indicates a fault in the corresponding system, but the problem is not very serious. Reduce speed and proceed to the nearest repair point for maintenance to eliminate potential safety hazards. Red indicates a very serious problem in the corresponding system. In such cases, do not continue driving. Pull over immediately and seek professional assistance to prevent unpredictable dangers to the vehicle and personal safety. It is important to note that when the car is started, all lights will turn on as the system performs an automatic check. After the check is completed, the lights will turn off automatically. If a light does not turn on when the ignition is switched on, remains lit, or lights up while driving, it indicates a fault in the related system. In such cases, seek professional help promptly for inspection and elimination of safety hazards.
