Every Dashboard Warning Lights in Your Car Explained | Part - 1

Every Car Dashboard Warning Lights Explained | Part -1

The electronics system in today's cars relies on sensors attached to warning lights and symbols on the dashboard. There are two main types of dashboard warning lights available red and orange. A red warning light usually indicates a severe problem with your car. If your dashboard warning light is red, you should act quickly.

An orange or yellow dashboard warning light means the Engine Management system - the computer running the engine - has detected a malfunction. You can continue to drive a car with an orange dashboard warning light, but you should visit your local service center as soon as possible for diagnosis and repair.

A Green or Blue dashboard light lets you know the system is on and operating.
