What does the yellow exclamation mark on the dashboard of the 10th-generation Accord mean?
1 Answers
When a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, there are four possible scenarios: general faults, automatic transmission faults, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting faults. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Faults: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the car's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor faults, fuel cutoff system intervention or failure, external light faults, or engine oil pressure sensor faults. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the problem. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission issue or low transmission fluid level. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line below a parenthesis 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 car'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 lights to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a braking system warning, typically due to a braking system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the braking system is necessary to avoid accidents.
