What is the reason for the yellow engine light in a new Lavida?
2 Answers
The reasons for the yellow engine light in a new Lavida are: 1. When the car's power is turned on, the vehicle performs a self-check. At this time, not only the yellow engine light will illuminate, but other warning lights will also come on together, and then they will all go off. This is a normal phenomenon; 2. If the yellow engine light remains on after the car is started, it means the ECU is alerting the owner that there is a fault in the engine, and it is recommended to check the engine. The Lavida is a car launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with a length, width, and height of 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. The Lavida is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 113ps and a maximum torque of 145nm.
I've been in the auto repair business for decades and have encountered numerous cases of new cars with engine warning lights on, and the Lavida is no exception. The most common issues are sensor failures, such as oxygen sensors or mass air flow sensors, which might not have been thoroughly tested during production or could have been affected by vibrations during transportation. New cars are also prone to minor problems during the break-in period, like spark plug carbon buildup or fuel line clogs, especially when using low-quality fuel. Don't rush to tinker with it yourself—new cars come with warranties, so take it to the 4S shop immediately. Let them use the diagnostic computer to read the codes and identify the specific fault. Avoid tampering with the electrical circuits yourself to prevent damage. Safety first—addressing the issue promptly can prevent bigger problems down the line and save you from costly engine repairs in the future.
