What does "engine system faulty" warning light mean

While an electrical fault or a faulty switch could put the light on, it is such an important light it should never be ignored and the reason for it established immediately. As far as the owner is concerned that means lifting the bonnet and checking the oil level and adding more if the level is low. If it isn't low the car should be recovered to a repair shop. Driving further could be very expensive and very inconvenient...

If the oil pressure light has switched on because the oil pressure is low then continuing to drive will soon wreck the crankshaft bearings or cause crankshaft or camshaft seizure. Damage happens so quickly if the oil pressure is lost at motorway speeds the engine is likely to be severely damaged by the time the car is stopped.

I strongly suggest you have the reason for the light switching on established and repaired.

Possible air flow meter ??? Try disconnecting see if power resumes....ideally need to get put on a diagnostic machine to see what codes are stored

Without any more information I'm going to simply "spitball" an answer.

It COULD be oil starvation caused by high mile/kilometer sludge in the engine which slows the return of the oil to the pick up screen of the oil pump. Starving the oiling system.

It COULD be low oil level which would cause the oil pump to starve.

It COULD be a faulty sensor/sender causing the warning message.

Being you said "on the motorway" I'm simply guessing this is the only time the happens and NOT when driving at slower speeds/RPMs.

Hope this helps.

you need to get someone with a obd reader to get the fault codes out of the engine controle module to help you sort that out it could be lots of things but sounds like a fuel delivery problem like fuel filter restricted or pump faulty

the flashing light it is a warning that something is not right and could cost you if you dont pay attention to it.take it to kia for a diagnostic test.to determine the problem it could be one of many problem.these cars are full of sensor units which pick up faults and transfers this to the computer which in turn alerts you there is a problem by flashing the warning light.

is it an external punp if so check wires are not exposed and shorting across , and it must be water relatedwith electrics for it to only happen when wet some thing is shorting out

I just had the same problem, which I also had in another car, a Jag XF, this can be related to too much town driving, and you may need to take half an hour of motorway or similar driving at higher speeds to clear the problem from the exhaust system, and the warning light.

A yellow light containing an exclamation mark surrounded by a triangle, all surrounded by a curved arrow is the Automatic Stability Control warning light (ASC + Traction Control). If the light just flashes momentarily whilst driving it means that you have driven in a way that has triggered the ASC system to activate and protect you. If the light is on all the time it can mean that you have switched the system off. The switch for the ASC is one of the row of chrome switches just under the airconditioning controls. If you operate the switch and the light stays on, you have a faulty ASC system. OK to drive the car but be aware that the stability control will not save you from a skid. Have it looked at if you can't get the light to stay off.

Normal operation: Light on when you turn on the ignition, should go out after engine starts. Light flashes if you are driving hard on a slippery surface and the system is acting to stabilise the car.

Faulty: Light on all the time measn either you have turned the system off or there is a fault.

Correct - the glow light flashing is an indication that there is fault. Often this is associated with a blown brake bulb or faulty brake switch.
