What it means: This light indicates that a low voltage is detected. This light should be ON when you are just standing on ignition, but if this light appears when you are idling or driving, It means that the alternator is not charging your car battery properly and your vehicle may stop suddenly.
2. ABS / Brake control Light
What it means:
This light means that there is a problem with the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System). When this light is on, the ABS function is disabled. The ABS control units use a wheel sensor at each wheel to check the speed of each wheel. The ABS is made not to lock your brakes entirely when you are panic brakes your vehicle. If you lock all four wheels due to hard braking, you can’t steer your vehicle.
How serious is the ABS Light?
When the light is on, the whole ABS function is shut off, and it is not safe to drive with if you are not familiar with it. The light will most likely not damage any other parts, but it is a traffic security question.
5. Airbag/SRS Light
What it means:
This light means that there is a problem with your Airbag / SRS control system. When this light is ON – the airbag control system is completely disabled, and you won’t have any airbags saving you in an accident. That’s why I always recommend fixing this problem as fast as possible. A common cause for the airbag light is the connector under the driver or passenger seat.
How serious is the airbag light?
When the light is on, your airbag system is out of function, and the airbags will not deploy in case of an accident.

What it means:
This warning light means that there is a low level of washer fluid in the reservoir.
7. Traction control (TCS) Warning Light
What it means:
This warning lights means that there is a problem with your traction control system. The traction control system uses the ABS wheel sensors to feel the speed of each wheel and reduce the engine power if one wheel is spinning or slipping on a slippery surface. You can often find these warning lights together with the ABS light because the systems are working together and uses the same wheel sensors.A common problem for this warning light is a faulty ABS sensor, ABS ring or the wirings to a sensor.

10. Seatbelt Unlocked Warning Symbol
What it means:
This means that one or several seat belts are not fitted correctly in one of the car seats. A small tip is to just remove the connector for the seat buckle to see if the light is turning OFF. In some vehicles it is the opposite, you have to short the two wires.
How serious is the seatbelt warning light?
Even if the light is red, it will not damage your vehicle if you keep driving with this light on. It’s just an indicator of the seatbelts.
11. Coolant Temperature Warning Light
What it means:
This warning lights can mean two different things. Either that the coolant level is low or that the coolant temperature is too high and the car is about to overheat.
How to solve it:
To solve this issue, you should first check the coolant level in your coolant reservoir.
NOTE: The coolant may be boiling and you should never open the cap if the engine is hot, it may cause serious injuries. If the level is low, fill it up and check carefully for any leaks of the coolant. Coolant should not disappear by itself, and you do either have an internal or external leak of the coolant on your engine. In some case, there can be minimal leaks and hard to find them. If the coolant level is OK, it can be caused by overheating and it needs a proper diagnosing. It can also be a faulty coolant level sensor that is causing this light to appear.
How serious is the coolant temperature light?
When the coolant temperature warning light shows up, you should always check the coolant level and stop your vehicle as fast as possible. If you keep driving with the light on, it can cause serious damages to your engine, which may result in an engine replacement. You can let it cool down and keep driving after a while if you have to drive to the workshop but always check the temperature gauge.
12. Oil Pressure Warning Light
What it means:
This warning light means that there is low oil pressure in your car’s engine. If you notice this warning light on your car, you should turn off your car’s engine as fast as possible. Low oil pressure can cause serious damages to your engine, and you may have to do a whole engine replacement.
How to solve it:
First you should check the level of your engine oil to make sure there is any oil at all in the oil sump. If the oil level is OK you have to do more diagnosing to your oil pressure problems. If you want to learn how to do a proper diagnosing of oil pressure and get possible symptoms and solutions, check out this article: Low Oil pressure problems. It does not have to be a low oil pressure problem, and there could be an oil pressure sensor problem or the wirings to it. But because of the serious damages, if you are driving your car with low oil pressure, it’s recommended to let an expert take a look at it.
How serious is the oil pressure light?
You should never drive with a red oil pressure light. If you keep driving with the light on, and the oil pressure is low, it may result in major engine damage. In most cases, you have to replace the whole engine if you drive with low oil pressure. It could also be a false sensor alarm and may not damage your engine, but it’s nothing to chance on if you are not sure it’s a sensor problem.Report this ad
13. Oil Level/Temperature Warning Light
What it means:
When the oil can is yellow, it usually does means that the oil level is low or the oil temperature is a bit high (Depending on the car model).
How to solve it:
You should always start to check the engine oil level at the dipstick of your car. If you can’t find your engine oils dipstick, check your service manual for the correct information. If the oil level is OK and the light is still ON, it can be a problem with the oil level sensor or the wires to it, and it needs proper troubleshooting. In some cars, you have to drive for a while to get the oil level updated if the vehicle is using an electronic oil level measurement.
How serious is the oil level/temperature light?
You should always check your oil level when this light appears. Low oil level is never good to drive with, and it can damage your engine seriously if the oil pump is pumping air instead of oil caused by a low level. If it’s a sensor problem, it will not cause any damages if you are driving with it.
14. Shift Lock Symbol
What it means:
This light, you can find in cars with automatic transmission. The transmission is locking the gears when you are not pushing the brake, to minimize the risk of accident switching to the Drive or Reverse gear.
How to solve it:
This light should shut off when you are pushing your brake pedal and turn on when you are releasing it at the “Parking” gear. If the light is still on when you are pushing the break, and you can’t switch gears on the stick, there might be a problem with your Brake Pedal Sensor/Switch. it can also be other problems with the system, and it’s recommended to read the trouble codes of the transmission control system to find any stored trouble codes.
How serious is the shift lock light?
The shift lock light is not a warning light, and therefore it should be there, and it is not dangerous to drive with
15. Fog Lights Indicator Symbol
What it means:
This light indicates that the Fog Lights (Rear or Front, depending on the symbol) are turned ON.
How to solve it:
This light should turn OFF when the fog light switch is OFF. If it doesn’t turn off, there might be a problem with your fog light switch or any other type of electrical problem. To fix these problems, I recommend to connect an OBD2 scanner and read the trouble codes or take help of a skilled car electrician to find the problem with your vehicle.
How serious is the fog indicator light?
The fog light indicator should light up when the fog lights are on and are therefore not dangerous to drive with.
16. Fuel Level Indicator Light
What it means:
This light means that the fuel level in your fuel tank is low and it’s time to refill it.
How to solve it:
Normally, you have to refill your fuel tank to make this light turn OFF. If the fuel tank is full and the symbol is still there, there might be a problem with the fuel level tank sensor or the wirings to it. It can also be an internal fault in your instrument cluster. To diagnose this problem, I recommend to let a skilled car electrician take a look at it. In many cases, the fuel level tank sensor can get stuck inside the tank, and it can help to drive and refill the tank a couple of times.
How serious is the fuel level indicator light?
If you keep driving with the light on and your fuel level goes to zero, your vehicle will stop. If it’s a fuel level sensor problem it’s not dangerous to drive with, make sure you have fuel in the tank all the time.
17. Immobilizer/Key Symbol
What it means:
This warning light indicates that the immobilizer could not recognize your car keys or that there is a problem with the immobilizer system.
How to solve it:
Normally, this problem will be fixed if you relock your car a couple of times. This light should turn ON after you turn your ignition ON for a couple of seconds (depending on the car model) and then shut off. An immobilizer problem is recognized by the car is starting for 2-3 seconds and then shuts off. If you can’t get the light off, It’s recommended to try with another car key if you have one. If it starts with the other key, there might be a problem with one of your car keys. For further troubleshooting of the car immobilizer system, I recommend to let a skilled automotive technician take a look at it and read the trouble codes of the immobilizer system.
How dangerous is the immobilizer key symbol for my car?
In most cases, the immobilizer light may cause your vehicle not to start, and you can’t drive with it. In this case, I recommend to tow it to a repair workshop as soon as possible.
18. Power Steering/Steering control warning light
What it means:
This warning light means that there is a problem with your Power steering system. You can find this warning light on models with an electric power steering. Some use an electric pressure pump and use the old style power steering rack, and some have an electric engine around the steering column.
How to solve it:
If you find this sign on a car with an electric power steering pump, you should check the level of the power steering fluid if possible. If the fluid level is ok, you have to check the trouble codes for your power steering control system. You can check the trouble codes with an OBD2 scanner. Remember that the cheap obd2 scanners can often only read the engine control unit and you may need a more advanced one to read the power steering control unit. A common problem for this light is a faulty steering wheel angle sensor or a defective fuse.
How serious is the power steering light?
It’s not recommended to drive with the power steering light ON, because if you lose your power steering, it can result in serious injuries. In some cases, there will only be a stored code, and the power steering will work fine, but it’s not worth the risk. Drive or tow it to a workshop as soon as possible.
19. EPC Light(Audi, Skoda, Seat, Volkswagen)
What it means:
This warning light means that there is a problem with your Electric Power Control system. You will find this light in VAG cars – Volkswagen(VW), Audi, Skoda and seat and some other models that are using VW’s EPC system. The Electric power control system work with several different control units, like the engine, transmission, brake control unit.
How to solve it:
To solve this problem, you should read the trouble codes of your engine control module and your transmission control module. You can use an OBD2 scanner to read these trouble codes.
How serious is the EPC Light?
You will often not have any symptoms with the EPC Light on, but in a lot of cases it comes together with the ABS light, and if the abs light is on, the abs functions will be shut off. Therefore it’s not recommended to drive with the EPC light on, drive or tow it to a car repair shop as soon as possible.
