What does the yellow triangle exclamation mark in Lynk & Co mean?
2 Answers
A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle'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. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault warning in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission fault warning, signaling a transmission malfunction or transmission fluid below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake system fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, typically indicating brake system failure or low brake fluid levels. The brake system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents. Tire pressure anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a tire pressure monitoring warning. This light turns on 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 a lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.
When the yellow triangle exclamation mark warning light appeared on my Lynk & Co car, I immediately thought of low tire pressure, as this often happens after driving on bumpy urban roads. I got out and checked each tire one by one, finding that the rear tire pressure was below the standard value. So, I used the inflator pump in the car to add air, and the light automatically turned off. However, if the issue lies in the electronic system, such as a false alarm from the brake sensor or stability control system, it would require a visit to the 4S shop for a technician to diagnose with a scanner. This yellow light indicates a non-emergency fault, but it should never be ignored, as it might be alerting you to more serious issues like ABS failure. It is recommended that car owners develop a habit of daily checks to avoid a lot of trouble.
