What to Do When the Exhaust System Warning Light Comes On in a Magotan?
2 Answers
The following are solutions for when the engine exhaust system warning light comes on: 1. Start and turn off the vehicle three times in a row, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery, wait for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it. After performing the above steps, check if the engine warning light on the dashboard is still on. This method is only applicable to false faults in the engine. 2. The engine exhaust system warning light often comes on due to damage to the oxygen sensor in the three-way catalytic system or poisoning of the three-way catalytic converter caused by the quality of domestic fuel. If this light comes on while driving, immediately reduce speed and drive to the nearest service station for inspection and repair.
Last time I was driving my Magotan, the exhaust warning light suddenly came on, which really startled me. I immediately found a place to pull over. Usually this indicates an issue with the emission system, like a faulty oxygen sensor or a clogged catalytic converter. Don't ignore it, otherwise the car will consume more fuel and may even develop engine problems. I first used a diagnostic scanner connected to my phone app to check the trouble codes, and sure enough it showed a sensor malfunction. Then I drove to a nearby repair shop to get the new part replaced, and everything was fine afterwards. I recommend you also keep a simple OBD tool handy for self-diagnosis - it saves money and gives peace of mind. Remember, never keep driving when the warning light is on, safety comes first.
