Every Car Dashboard Warning Lights Explained | Part – 1

The electronics system in today’s cars relies on sensors attached to warning lights and symbols on the dashboard. There are two main types of dashboard warning lights available red and orange. A red warning light usually indicates a severe problem with your car. If your dashboard warning light is red, you should act quickly.

An orange or yellow dashboard warning light means the Engine Management system – the computer running the engine – has detected a malfunction. You can continue to drive a car with an orange dashboard warning light, but you should visit your local service center as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair.

A Green or Blue dashboard light lets you know the system is on and operating.

    Wouldn’t a wrench light be a maintenance reminder, not engine failure? That’s the check engine light’s job

    Renault 2014 For 100,00 miles and everytime I take road-trips I need too check the Engine Like when I go to Texas-California And my Dacia dokker in Morococo is the same thing.



  22. @crayzygamer1232 on December 11, 2023 at 7:19 am

    I have a question. My 2006 Toyota Siena Le engine immobilizer/theft deterrent system indicator light is on when I take the key out from the ignition switch after driving. When the key is inserted in the ignition switch and the engine is on , the indicator light is off. Is it ok to drive like that? Thanks for any advice.



  23. @enriquelopez9124 on December 11, 2023 at 7:19 am

    Awesome information, however some of the cars have electronic power steering which doesn*t use power steering fluid , like for example Hyundai , when there is a problem with the system, the following lights go on, ABS, the steering wheel with the exclamation , anti skidding or stability control because they built it that way, it can be a couple of things, inner or outer arms or both among the many things in the front suspension it will stay on.



  24. @rasyidmohd4614 on December 11, 2023 at 7:24 am

    vw full with indicator



  25. @chrismayer3919 on December 11, 2023 at 7:26 am

    Need to save this video. Thank you❤



  28. @alexforsyth5515 on December 11, 2023 at 7:30 am

    One time when we were going somewhere the car was shaking a lot. After 15-20 seconds the shaking slowed down so my mom thought the car was going to turn off on its own but it was still on and after this shows up on the car. It says Service stability track. When my mom pushed the menu button it went back to normal… well almost. It showed the traction control symbol for some reason.
    The next time we turned the car on it looks normal but we still have to fix it.



  29. @catalinmihai8554 on December 11, 2023 at 7:30 am

    All dashboards on =expolosion



  30. @NeedForSpeed.2004 on December 11, 2023 at 7:30 am

    The TPMS light may also come on if one of your sensors has gone out. If all of your tire pressures are correct and stable (even the spare), a tire pressure sensor may be shot.



  31. @mainghiem104 on December 11, 2023 at 7:31 am

    👍👍👍 thanks ❤



  32. @mendezfocus on December 11, 2023 at 7:32 am

    Thank you somuch for making this video sr



  34. @NeedForSpeed.2004 on December 11, 2023 at 7:37 am

    You can drive without power steering, you just need to have plenty of arm strength. Also parking or turning from a stop might be a bitch.



  35. @user-vi1jl1ps7d on December 11, 2023 at 7:39 am
