FAQs

The most serious dashboard warning lights are typically red and indicate issues that could put your safety—or your engine—at risk. These include the brake system warning light, engine oil pressure warning, coolant temperature warning, and the airbag or SRS warning. If any of these lights appear while driving, you should stop the car as soon as it’s safe and seek professional assistance. Ignoring them can lead to breakdowns, serious damage, or compromised safety systems.

One of the most common reasons for the check engine light to come on is a faulty oxygen sensor, which affects how your engine manages fuel and emissions. Other frequent causes include a loose fuel cap, failing catalytic converter, or issues with ignition coils or spark plugs. While it’s not always serious, the check engine light should never be ignored—an expert diagnostic check will pinpoint the exact cause and prevent bigger problems later.

Yes, some can be reset manually, but if the underlying fault isn’t fixed, the light will return. DIY resets can also mask more serious issues, so professional diagnostics are always recommended.
