What to Do When the Engine Yellow Light on the Car Dashboard Comes On?
1 Answers
There are two scenarios when the engine yellow light on the car dashboard comes on: 1. When the car's power is turned on, the vehicle performs a self-check. During this time, not only the engine yellow light but also other warning lights will illuminate and then turn off together. This is a normal phenomenon. 2. If the engine yellow light remains on after the car is started, it indicates that the ECU is alerting you to a potential engine fault, which is abnormal. The engine yellow light could be triggered by a sensor malfunction or a false alarm. In such cases, you may continue driving temporarily, but for safety reasons, it's best to drive at low to medium speeds and immediately head to the nearest repair shop for inspection.
