2 Answers
The reason for the yellow engine light in the Buick Excelle is to alert the owner that there is a fault in the vehicle's engine or transmission. When the yellow engine fault light comes on, no fault may be noticeable in the short term, but continuing to drive risks causing damage to the vehicle. The Buick Excelle is equipped with a 1.3T 48V mild hybrid engine and a 1.5L DVVT four-cylinder engine, comprehensively balancing power, fuel consumption, and a good driving experience. The diverse options meet the needs of different consumers, providing owners with an efficient and agile power experience. In terms of body size, the Buick Excelle measures 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1486mm in height.
Having driven for ten years, I've seen this situation quite often. The Buick Excelle's engine yellow light is on, just like your electricity meter's yellow light—it means the system has detected something wrong but can still manage. Most likely, it's a fuel system issue; my own car had the same problem last time. Either you cheaped out and filled up with substandard gasoline, or the fuel quality sensor is being overly sensitive. Those two oxygen sensors on the exhaust pipe are quite delicate—they trigger an alarm at the slightest carbon buildup, especially in older cars. A leaking exhaust valve often causes the yellow light too. The key is to check it early! My neighbor once waited until black smoke started coming out, and ended up spending nearly 8,000 yuan to replace the catalytic converter. Nowadays, you can buy an OBD scanner for just a few dozen yuan to read the fault codes, or have a repair shop check it for around a hundred yuan—it's not expensive.
