What Do All the Lights on My Dashboard Mean? If one or more of your dashboard lights turn on and you are in Batesburg-Leesville, SC, Gilbert, SC, or nearby, you can come to Kestner Automotive - Lexington for an auto repair, scheduled maintenance, and more. Depending on whether you drive a Ford, Toyota, Cadillac, Chevrolet, or something else, these lights could vary in the actual icon and verbiage.
Why is my Oil Pressure Light on? This light signifies that the oil is not circulating properly through the vehicle's engine. Common reasons for low oil pressure include low oil levels, a worn oil pump, and other worn internal components.
Why is my Tire Pressure Warning Light? This light means that one of your tires is underinflated or overinflated, and in some modern vehicles, the dashboard will also tell you which tire is underinflated or overinflated. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is responsible for this light. If you are in the 29072 area or nearby, you can come to Kestner Automotive - Lexington to adjust your tire pressure. If the tire pressure check reveals that your tires are in fact properly inflated, you may have a faulty sensor that may need repair or replacement.
Why is my Engine Temperature Warning Light on? The engine temperature light features a red thermometer, and when illuminated, this indicates that the engine is overheating. This is a serious problem. If this light turns on while driving, pull over immediately.
Why is myTraction Control Light on? The traction control system applies the brakes to limit the wheels from slipping during acceleration. This is most helpful if you are driving in the rain or snow of Lexington, SC or Columbia, SC.
Why is my Check Engine Light on? The check engine light is one of the most common dashboard warning lights but is also one of the least specific. Some signs that cause the check engine light to turn on are a loose gas cap, a misfire, or a loss of compression. If the light flashes, however, this indicates a very serious problem, and you should stop driving immediately and call Oak Grove Automotive Repairs.
Why is my Battery Alert Light on? The battery alert light indicates that the vehicle's charging system isn't functioning properly. There could be a problem with the battery itself, but there could also be a problem with the battery cable, the alternator, the accessory belt, or another electrical fault in the system.
Why is my Washer Fluid Indicator light on? This light means that you are low on washer fluid and should get a refill as soon as you can.
