When the engine warning light comes on in the Mazda3 Axela, you should immediately go to a 4S shop for inspection. Before the inspection, the fault code should be read first. After the engine warning light comes on, it may be due to damage to a component around the engine or a faulty sensor. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact car under the Mazda brand. The Mazda3 Axela is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 86 kilowatts, a maximum torque of 148 Newton-meters, a maximum power speed of 6,100 revolutions per minute, and a maximum torque speed of 3,500 revolutions per minute.
I've been driving the Mazda3 for several years, and the experience of the engine warning light coming on is really a headache, but don't overreact. The light indicates that the system has detected an abnormality, such as a sensor false alarm or unstable oil pressure. You can do some simple checks yourself: check the dipstick to see if the oil is within the normal range, and see if there's any leakage in the coolant tank; if you've just filled up with low-quality fuel, try using high-quality 92 or 95 octane gasoline next time. Restarting the vehicle a few times to see if the light disappears is also an option. If the light remains on, it's strongly recommended not to drive anymore—call a tow truck to take it to a professional repair shop. They can use an OBD scanner to read the trouble codes, such as P0420, which might indicate a catalytic converter aging. Remember, regular engine maintenance can prevent such issues, especially checking the air filter or oxygen sensors.
