When any of these lights pop up on your dashboard, better advised to discontinue your journey and attend to it immediately.
1, OIL LIGHT - This light indicates a low oil level or a poor or non circulation of oil in your engine occasioned by faulty oil pumps most times. Ignoring this light can lead to an engine knock.
2, BATTERY LIGHT - This light signifies low battery voltage occasioned most times by a dysfunctional alternator and if ignored will lead to battery run down which will ground most automatic vehicles immediately.
3, ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SIGN - Indicated by a thermometer sign dipped in water. This signs indicates above normal engine temperature caused by coolant leakage, failed radiator fan or water pump with belt. If ignored, can roast cylinder head gaskets, which can be expensive to replace after grounding the vehicle immediately.
4, TRANSMISSION COOLANT TEMPERATURE - Sometimes appears as TCS light or similar to engine coolant sign, indicates an above normal gear or transmission temperature caused by low or dirty transmission fluid, which if not attended to, can instantly ground the gearbox.
5, BRAKE LIGHTS - A red hyphen(!) sign inside a circle indicates brake issues caused by low fluid level among others. Brake failures are better imagined than experienced, attend to it immediately.
Note - Other dashboard signs are equally important and should be attended to as soon as possible, these are just ones that require instant attention. Thanks for this! What of ABS sign? Should I worry much on that? |
