The engine light is on a yellow colour what does this mean

I need more information to help. Use the comment button below. What colour is the light? Red is a warning light that needs sorting as soon as possible. Yellow is an information light which isn't serious.
What make and model is this for? Is this the light for the 4WD system or is it the engine shaped Engine Management light?
The Engine Management light needs looking at SOON! You will probably need to get the vehicle plugged into a diagnostic system or an OBD2 scanner. Ask at three or four garages as the prices charged can be very different. Scanning the vehicle will give you Trouble Codes that will give better information as to what the problem could be.

Amber is the color. When this light is on, it usually represents that a sensor or actuator that works with the emissions has failed. If the engine light should blink when driving, vehicle should not be driven due to severe damage to your catalyst system. You would need to take your car in and have a knowledgable technician to plug a scanner to your vehicle and retrieve the code that the computer has stored and have the technician explain to you why the light is on. There is usually a one hour charge for the diagnostic fee to retrieve the code but all shops may vary in price. Hope this helps.

Hi there,

An orange warning light which is a picture of an engine = Engine Check Light. Most commonly known as the Malfunction Warning Light (MIL).

If this light illuminates while driving, it means your engine computer has detected a malfunction somewhere within the vehicle's electronics. The computer monitors hundreds of components & circuits. Some of these are critical in nature.

For this reason, it's important you make arrangements to have an authorised Toyota service agent (or Auto Electrician) scan your vehicle's computer for diagnostic codes. This process takes only 15mins or so. If you have an Autozone nearby, they sometimes do this for free, otherwise find a service agent who can do this check for you, at little cost.


Cheers,

sounds like a headlight indicator

Maybe the power steering oil level is low. You may want read the owners manual, that should tell you what all those symbols mean.

service due light or engine management light??
service light should be a spanner symbol engine light should be amber -yellow colour and looks like a gearbox.
service light.check if your vehicle is due a service if so book it in with your main dealer for a service and they will reset the warning indicator ,or if you know someone local who maintains your car they can reset the service light by holding in the reset trip button whilst turning ignition to pre start position on the display it should count down from ten -0 then reset itself and the light should go out.
management light
this can only be looked at by a suzuki main dealer where they have the correct diagnostic equipment .
dont worry to much if the car feels and drives ok its probably picked up a small fault in the ecu and will be cleared with the diagnostic check .

Hi there,

The yellow/orange Engine Check Light is an indicator that your vehicle's computer has detected an abnormality within the engine's electronics or emission system.

Sometimes it can be a one-off abnormality, which eventually rectifies itself within 40 drive cycles.

However, if the Engine light remains lit, then this is an indication of something more concerning (but not necessarily serious).

If it does remain lit when driving, then you should have your local Jaguar service agent scan the computer for "trouble codes", which will quickly identify the component and/or location of the problem.


Hope this helps...


Cheers,

go to autozone and get a check engine light test done, its free. ask them to tell you what comes up on the computer.

that would be your check engine light you will need to go to the dealer or a garage that has a scanner to read the code stored in the car computer . your car is now running in safe mode, which is not optimum performance.

find the operators manual for your car will help you a lot.
