What Does the Yellow P Light Indicate?

[NolanAnn]

Yellow P light illumination indicates a fault stored in the parking brake or ABS system, requiring further inspection and confirmation. Additional details are as follows: 1. P light in the instrument cluster: Generally represents the vehicle's parking brake system, also known as the handbrake system. When the P light in the instrument cluster illuminates, it may appear in three different colors. The meaning varies slightly depending on the vehicle brand and the color of the P light. 2. Red P light illumination: Indicates that the parking brake system is engaged, meaning the handbrake is pulled tight. It appears as a red indicator in the instrument cluster, which is a normal condition and not a fault. If it illuminates or flashes alongside other warning lights, such as the ABS light, it indicates a system malfunction. 3. Green or blue P light illumination: Indicates that the AUTO-HOLD system (automatic parking brake) is functioning normally. The P light will illuminate to alert the driver when the system is active.
