What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Accord indicate?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, it can indicate one of four situations: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: General Fault: 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. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. 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 problem with the transmission or that the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil should 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, which 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. This is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop as soon as possible for inspection and repair, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets. This represents a brake system warning, indicating either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.
