Your Cars 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 cars 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 TOP SERVICE are those diagnostic 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 Galway or nearby, you can come to TOP SERVICE Automotive for an auto repair, scheduled maintenance, and more. Depending on whether you drive a Ford, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, or something else, these lights could vary in the actual icon and description. 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.
Tyre Pressure Warning Light - This light means that one of your tyres is underinflated or overinflated, and in some modern vehicles, the dashboard will also tell you which tyre is underinflated or overinflated. The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is responsible for this light. If you are in the Galway area or nearby, you can come to TOP SERVICE Automotive to adjust your tyre pressure. If the tyre pressure check reveals that your tyre 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, frost or snow.
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 petrol 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 TOP SERVICE a call.
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 TOP SERVICE Automotive in Galway for an efficient and accurate diagnosis of the issue. We can also perform the appropriate services your vehicle needs, such as Repairs or Tyre Services.
