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.

@alflyover4413 Жыл бұрын

You have my condolences, ma'am. Do you have a Chilton's or Haynes' manual (preferably both) for your vehicles? The reason I ask is because they will go through the troubleshooting and repair steps for a given problem and allow you to decide if the repair is something you can undertake yourself (lamp replacement and tire pressure, oil level, and coolant level checking), something you can see yourself undertaking in the future (oil change, tire rotation), or something you will leave to the pros (front-end alignment, engine overhaul, clutch and transmission work). I have seen that quite a few community colleges offer adult education courses that cover automobile maintenance. They can help you learn what you can do, what you can plan to do in the future, and what you probably want to refer to the pros if your vehicle needs it.

I've been driving my 2022 BRZ in track mode (traction always off) since April. During my roadtrip this summer, I got lost in a muddy dirt road and it's probably the most fun I had. Had the traction control activated for the first few times I drove in a dirt road to learn how my car was handling the dirt.

@Akotski-ys9rr Жыл бұрын

Why would you always have traction control off? You’re just asking to get seriously hurt. What if you’re driving down the highway and you hit some kind of bump and completely lose control when you could’ve recovered

@@Akotski-ys9rr you sound no fun. Also traction control is not needed. What do you happend with cars before the 1980's? There was no traction control then, and people were still driving lambos and such. Driving without tractoin control is not hard. Its not much different. Traction control sorta limits the throttle response when losing grip. This is why people often disable it when the car is stuck in snow, since it will just not give enough throttle to get out of the snow, since it will start limiting it. Traction control is only needed in heavy thunderstorms or heavy snowstorms

@kimchee94112 Жыл бұрын

Wish I had traction control at the time while driving old cars and trucks (all rear wheel drives) spun out a few times on the freeway due to rain and black ice at normal speeds. Trucks in particular, very light at the rear. I even saw a car flipped over on the freeway in front of me, he was driving normal going straight on a dry road. Needed an ambulance and jaws of life.

I am surprised that this isn't taught in driver's education school. There's a whole lot to learn when gettin' behind the wheel of a car and what features there are to ensure protocol procedures for safety concerns, precautions and measurements to maintain. But it's no one's fault of not knowing any of it future-wise. Driver's Ed should really be taught most importantly to kids in high school, I know they eager of wantin' to drive a car like everyone else in the world gets to.

@2112user Жыл бұрын

As a mechanic I completely agree. Airplane pilots need to learn what every gauge, dial and light means.... I'd like to see a basic auto maintenance class taught in conjunction with drivers ed. People don't need to know all that I do, but should have the ability to jump start their car, change a tire, wiper blades, check fuses, and know how to check all fluids. Guess we don't need people driving a 2 ton machine in residential areas to know these things....

Also if you put a high-performance engine or performance parts causing you’re engine to make more power in your vehicle and you forget to upgrade your cooling system that can cause a major problem of overheating, because your stock cooling system is not built for that kind of stress. it may be still fine to use for some upgrades but there is a certain limit before you stock cooling system needs to be upgraded

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.
