This is the 'Check Engine' warning light. This normally comes on when there are sensors (usually the engine knock sensor) that are faulty or indicate some type of engine trouble.

Have this diagnosed by a qualified technician immediately.

Hope this helps.

2000 NISSAN CEFIRO EXCIMO starts, idles rough until warm, only revs to 3000 and makes a sound like its rev limiting. drives but very little acceleration and only gets to about 80kph

Do you have any warning lights on the dashboard? This sounds like the vehicle has gone into 'Limp' mode. This is where the vehicle has gone into a Safe setting because the electronics has detected a fault listed as 'Serious'. I would suggest you get it plugged into a diagnostic system or an OBD2 scanner to check for trouble codes. Ask for prices at 4 or 5 garages as costs can be VERY different.
Comment below with the trouble codes and I'll try to help you more.

Please, what does an inverted y with green color in the middle of orange light means in an s40 1997? I guess it is lamba light.

Hello, Phillip -

Apparently the lit lamda warning light means there is a problem with the emissions system, indicating that the engine management system is no longer able to control the fuel mixture. It means you need to take your Volvo in for service.

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,

Orange warning light on dash comes up - it looks like a motor

This would mean that there is an error detected by the computer module of your engine. You would may use a scanner to do a diagnostic of your engine. This would get the exact error code and help you diagnose the problem accurately. The scanner would go to the diagnostic port underneath the hood of the car.
