What is the analysis of Wuling Hongguang mini fault light?
3 Answers
Wuling Hongguang mini fault light is located on the dashboard, with an exclamation mark in the center of a triangle. When it lights up, it indicates that the system has detected a fault or abnormal condition. The following is a detailed analysis: General description of fault light: The fault indicator light is located on the dashboard; the color is generally red (refer to the vehicle manual for specifics). During power-on self-test, the fault indicator light stays on for 2 seconds and then turns off; it lights up when the EFI system detects a fault; for general faults, the fault indicator light stays on continuously; for severe faults, the fault indicator light flashes; after the fault is resolved, the fault indicator light turns off automatically. Method for reading fault flash codes: The ignition switch should be in the ON position; it can be performed in both standby and running conditions; press and release the diagnostic request switch to activate the fault flash codes; each operation flashes only one fault flash code, and all fault flash codes can be read in sequence; fault flash codes include historical faults and current faults; after clearing the fault codes, reading them again will display the current fault flash codes. Actions to take when the fault indicator light is on: Once the fault indicator light stays on or flashes, the driver should take the vehicle to a service station for inspection as soon as possible and avoid operating the vehicle with the fault.
As an experienced mechanic who often helps neighbors with car repairs, I've noticed that the Wuling Mini's warning lights mainly come in three colors: red, yellow, and green. Red indicates the most urgent issues. For example, if the power battery warning light (a battery icon with an exclamation mark) comes on, you must shut off the engine immediately—it could indicate a battery cell failure or high-voltage leakage. Last time, our neighbor Lao Wang's car broke down after the red light came on. Yellow lights require caution: the turtle light indicates power limitation, often related to speed limiter issues, while the wrench light is a maintenance reminder. Green lights are mostly status indicators—for instance, a flashing READY light means the low-voltage battery is running low. Veteran driver's advice: Never ignore a red light, but you can still drive cautiously to a repair shop with a yellow light. The owner's manual includes diagrams of these warning lights—I recommend new owners take photos of the dashboard pages and keep them on their phones for reference.
Moms driving the Hongguang Mini to drop off kids at school, let's chat: The dashboard lights are indeed adorable, but sudden illumination can be really nerve-wracking. Last time after charging, a battery-with-plug symbol popped up, and I had to call the 4S store to learn it was a charging fault—restarting fixed it. The most frequent alert is the tire pressure warning light (looks like parentheses with an exclamation mark). Once, after a nail puncture triggered it, I quickly used the onboard inflator to add air and made it to the tire repair shop. My husband also taught me to check the battery health light (teardrop-shaped icon), saying blue is normal and red means maintenance is needed. A tip for fellow moms: save the service center number to speed dial—calling them directly when a red light appears is much faster than checking the manual.
