What to Do When the Dashboard Warning Light Comes On and Power Loss Occurs?
1 Answers
In the event of a dashboard warning light indicating a fault and power loss, you should immediately stop the vehicle and call for a tow truck or wait for assistance. For safety reasons, do not attempt to continue driving. There are three main reasons why the engine warning light may come on, accompanied by insufficient power or a complete loss of power: 1. Poor combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the engine: When the mixture in the cylinders is too rich, the vehicle may experience knocking or shaking. Conversely, if the mixture is too lean, the vehicle may exhibit poor acceleration. 2. Issues with the air-fuel mixture: This could be due to faults in the spark plugs, high-voltage wires, or ignition coils. Poor performance in the ignition system or weak sparking from the spark plugs can also trigger the engine warning light, causing the vehicle to shake and lose power. 3. Abnormal fuel supply pressure or faults in the intake pressure sensor: If the fuel pump's supply pressure is irregular or the intake pressure sensor provides incorrect readings or malfunctions, it can lead to vehicle shaking and insufficient power.
