Why is the engine yellow light on in the Baojun 730?

Baojun 730 engine yellow light is the engine fault light, the engine fault light yellow light indicates that the engine has a fault. The following introduces the reasons for the engine fault light to come on: Excessive carbon deposits: The gasoline added has a problem or the engine has excessive carbon deposits, resulting in poor engine combustion state, which may cause the fault light to come on. Generally, at this time, it is necessary to check the engine in time and find a nearby vehicle maintenance shop for maintenance. Oxygen sensor failure: This kind of failure will generally make the engine fault light come on yellow, which will not affect normal driving. Just remember to check the reason for the engine fault light after driving.

Last time I drove my 730, I also encountered the engine yellow light coming on, so I quickly went to the repair shop for inspection. The mechanic said there are three common causes: an oxygen sensor malfunction can falsely report exhaust data, a loose fuel tank cap can cause fuel vapor leakage, or aging spark plugs can lead to ignition abnormalities. In my case, it was the third issue, and replacing the spark plugs fixed it. However, the mechanic reminded me that if accompanied by power loss or unusual noises, it could be a more serious issue like a vacuum tube leak or a clogged fuel injector. He suggested using an OBD scanner to read the fault codes first to narrow down the problem, rather than rushing to replace parts. After all, repair shops for the 730 are everywhere, and the diagnostic fee is just a few dozen yuan, which is much more cost-effective than haphazard repairs.

Buddy, I totally get your issue. My 730 has had the yellow light come on twice at 80,000 km. The first time was because the fuel cap wasn't tightened properly - after re-tightening it, the light went off within 20 km of driving. The second time wasn't so lucky; the code reader showed the front oxygen sensor was poisoned, and replacing it cost over 400 bucks. The mechanic said to always avoid low-quality gas from shady stations, as carbon buildup can clog the catalytic converter. Now during every maintenance check, I have them inspect the engine wiring harness connectors - poor contact from rubber degradation can also trigger false alarms. Remember, a steady yellow light means you can still drive, but if it starts flashing, you'll need a tow truck.

The engine yellow light usually indicates that the electronic control system has detected an abnormality. Common causes include a dirty air filter affecting air intake, carbon buildup on the throttle body causing inaccurate opening/closing, or a failed ignition coil leading to cylinder misfire. It's best to visit a 4S shop to read the fault codes with diagnostic equipment. The ECU of Baojun models is particularly sensitive to voltage fluctuations, and even loose battery terminals can trigger false alarms. Don't attempt DIY repairs - electronic throttle reset requires professional tools. For short-distance driving, a highway run is recommended as sometimes carbon buildup issues can be resolved by running at higher RPMs.
