Which warning light indicates an issue or malfunction in the engine control system?

The engine check light illuminates to indicate engine abnormality or malfunction. The engine block serves as the framework of the engine, providing the mounting foundation for all engine mechanisms and systems. It houses all major engine components and accessories internally and externally, while withstanding various loads. Therefore, the engine block must possess sufficient strength and rigidity. The block primarily consists of components such as the cylinder block, cylinder liner, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket. Below are common causes of engine malfunctions: Sensors: Coolant temperature sensor malfunction. Flow meters: Air flow meter malfunction. Throttle: Throttle position sensor malfunction. Pressure: Excessive fuel pressure.
I think that light is called the Check Engine Light, and when it comes on, it means there's an issue with the engine control system, possibly a faulty sensor or a problem with the computer. I've dealt with many such cases myself, and common causes include oxygen sensor failures affecting emissions, or clogged fuel injectors leading to unstable combustion. If the light comes on, continuing to drive may increase fuel consumption or cause the engine to stall, even damaging the exhaust pipe. It's best to go to a professional repair shop as soon as possible to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool, identify the root cause, and fix it to prevent small issues from turning into big troubles and prolong the car's lifespan.
