Your automobile's dashboard has a lot of lights that activate when there is a concern with your car. If any of these lights turn on while you are driving, it can be a cause for alarm. Since modern automobiles have more modern technology and functions than ever before, there can be multiple reasons why a specific dashboard light turns on, making it hard to repair. When it comes to car diagnostics, having an expert on your side when several of your dashboard lights turn on is essential. We at Endurance Auto Repair and Tire in Campbell are those auto repair experts.
What Do All the Lights on My Dashboard Mean?
If one or more of your dashboard lights turn on and you are in Lynchburg, Virginia, Bedford, Virginia, or nearby, you can come to Endurance Auto Repair and Tire for an auto repair, scheduled maintenance, and more. Depending on whether you drive a asian vehicle, domestic vehicle, Nissan, Ford, or something else, these lights could vary in the actual icon and verbiage. Here is a brief explanation of what each of your dashboard lights means:
Oil Pressure Light - 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.
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 24501 area or nearby, you can come to Endurance Auto Repair and Tire 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.
Engine Temperature Warning - 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.
Traction Control Light - 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 Campbell County, Virginia or Madison Heights, Virginia.
Check Engine Light - 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 give Endurance Auto Repair and Tire a call at 434-426-6853.
Battery Alert Light - 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.
Washer Fluid Indicator - This light means that you are low on washer fluid and should get a refill as soon as you can.
If one or more of your dashboard lights are on, you can bring your car to Endurance Auto Repair and Tire in Lynchburg for an efficient and accurate diagnosis of the issue. We can also perform the appropriate services your vehicle needs, such as automotive repair or preventative maintenance.
