What does the yellow P light mean?
1 Answers
The yellow P on the car dashboard indicates that the parking brake is engaged, meaning the handbrake is in the braking position. Below are the specific reasons why the P light remains illuminated in yellow: 1. Handbrake not fully released: Some drivers forget to release the handbrake or do not release it completely, causing the handbrake light to turn on. 2. Brake fluid leakage: It is necessary to check the brake fluid, as leakage or insufficient brake fluid may cause the handbrake light to illuminate. The braking system mainly consists of energy supply devices, control devices, transmission devices, and brakes. The primary function of the braking system is to slow down or stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill, and keep a parked car stationary. Using a fault detection device for inspection can quickly and accurately locate the fault and identify the cause step by step. 3. Worn brake discs: Accompanied by body vibration or abnormal noises when braking, it is likely due to thinning brake discs or foreign objects entering the brake pads. Uneven surfaces on the brake discs can cause sharp metal friction sounds when braking, as well as insufficient braking force, longer braking distances, and softer braking.
