The reason for the truck's malfunction stop light being on is that the engine water temperature is too high. Below is relevant information about the stop light: Concept: The stop light is a mandatory parking alarm light, which should illuminate simultaneously with one of the alarm lights such as low oil pressure, low brake fluid level, or high water temperature, indicating that the engine must be stopped. Classification: The dashboard also includes indicator lights for water temperature, oil pressure, air pressure, engine, cab, etc. When a problem occurs with any of these components, the STOP light will illuminate. For example, if the engine water temperature is too high while driving, the water temperature warning light will come on, and the STOP light will illuminate, indicating an engine malfunction. There is also a yellow light on the dashboard; the STOP light is red, with yellow indicating a general fault and red indicating a serious fault.
I've also encountered the situation where the STOP light comes on in a truck, which is mainly likely due to an engine problem, such as low oil pressure or overheating. When the system detects a serious abnormality, the light will automatically illuminate to warn you to stop and check. You should also check if the braking system is okay, as insufficient brake fluid or leaks can trigger this light. Additionally, faults in the exhaust system or short circuits in the electrical wiring harness may also cause it, and the light will come on if the sensor gives a false alarm. In short, when this light comes on, it's not a minor issue. You should pull over immediately, turn off the engine, and check the oil level and coolant temperature, or else the engine could be damaged. It's best to carry tools to monitor the dashboard data at all times or directly seek professional repair services.
