What to Do When the Car SVS Light Comes On?
1 Answers
When the SVS light comes on while driving, you should go to a repair shop for inspection or repair as soon as possible. If the engine fault light comes on while driving, do not drive at high speed; slow down and avoid aggressive driving. Pay attention to whether the oil light on the dashboard also indicates a fault—if the engine is low on oil, you must stop immediately. Also, monitor the coolant temperature gauge to see if the fault light comes on; if it does and the temperature is too high, stop the car immediately. Below is an introduction to the SVS indicator light: The SVS indicator light is the engine fault indicator, equivalent to the 'engine-shaped' warning light. This light turns on when the ignition key is turned and goes off after the vehicle starts. If the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will illuminate. If this light comes on while driving, it indicates an engine issue. The SVS fault indicator is a warning light that appears when the ECU or TCU of an electronically fuel-injected car detects a problem with the engine or automatic transmission. Therefore, all electronically fuel-injected cars have an SVS fault indicator—for manual transmissions, it indicates an engine fault, while for automatic transmissions, it signals issues with both the engine and the transmission.
