What does the yellow exclamation mark in Toyota C-HR mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are 4 possible scenarios: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these 4 situations: General malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Possible causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below normal range. Transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal tire pressure: A horizontal line under parentheses with 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 system 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 for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the problem. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circled parenthesis, which represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.
