What does the yellow exclamation mark on the Toyota Levin dashboard mean?
1 Answers
There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: 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 causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off 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 is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line under a bracket 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 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. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets, 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.
