The indicator light tells you that the computer is generating an error code.

To determine what is causing your problem, you need to have the OBD2 port scanned. If you take the car to a local repair shop or auto parts store, they can use their scan tool to download the trouble codes.

From there, the can tell yoy what the codes mean and present possible solutions for you to consider.

I want to know why there's an exclamation mark on the dash board what does it mean is wrong?

I have had that light a couple times turns out I had a nail in my tire the first time; second time was just low air in the tire. Check them all and fill accirding to the PSI on the tire which is usually between 32-38.

I have a 2003 lexus ls 430 my check engine light came on with the vsc off, and exclamtion mark all at the same time and I don't know what that means?

Hi there:
When this comes on as it has it means: When the center differential is locked, VSC control turns off and the VSC OFF indicator illuminates. This is straight from the Lexus diagnostic chart.

The system is faulted in some way so you will need to have the fault memory read out, and then depending on what fault code or codes are stored will determine the type of diagnosis that will need to be performed.

A dealer would be your best bet to get the cause determined. Their scan tool, when hooked up to you vehicle will give them all of the information they need to rectify your condition. After the scan results are found, replacement parts or adjustments can be performed.


Hope this helps.

My windstar has a light that has come on in the dash panel that has an exclamtion point enclosed in what looks like a bowl. and when I stop at traffic lights the car feels as if it is still moving a little...

If the picture below is the light you are talking about. The reason it is on is right there for you. Why your vehicle would feel like it's still moving doesn't seem to have anything to do with a low tire unless it's so low that it is like jelly and then the vehicle would feel like it's moving. You may have 2 seperate things going on. There is one light right in the middle of the speedo which has an exclamation mark as well but that has a circle all the way around it and the word brake should be right above it. This all should be in your owners manual if you have one. If you don't have an owners manual and would like a copy, you can email me at [email protected] with your make, model and year and I will be happy to email you a copy. I hope this helps and good luck.

2002 taurus,exclamation mark with circle on dash, car will not run

I believe that is the check transaxle light. Illuminates when a transaxle problem has been detected and shifting may be restricted. If this lamp remains on, have your vehicle serviced immediately. Does the car start? Turn over?
