Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Do you know what all of the dashboard indicator lights are for on your vehicle? You’ve invested in a superior vehicle at Richardson Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. It’s a good idea to know what to expect from your car’s computer. That way, you’ll be able to get your vehicle the service that it needs when something goes wrong.
Airbag Fault
After your engine starts up, the airbag fault light should go off. If it doesn’t, this is an indication that your airbag system isn’t working correctly. Seeking professional inspection and repair is a good idea.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The amount of fuel in your gas tank is very low. Fill it up as soon as you can to prevent it from stalling.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Your vehicle’s oil level is low, or your vehicle may be malfunctioning to some degree. Pull your vehicle over and see what the oil level is in your engine. If you find it is correct, have a professional check other areas of the vehicle.
Service Vehicle Soon
The service light indicator is a friendly reminder that it’s time to schedule an appointment for things like oil changes and tire rotations.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Low inflation pressure will cause additional wear and tear to your vehicle, but it will also compromise the traction that your vehicle has on a slippery road. If this light doesn’t go off after you fill your tires up with air, there could be a problem with your tire pressure monitoring system.
Slip Indicator
If your tires are slipping, your Traction Control system and Vehicle Stability Control system will engage. The light should turn off when you regain control. If it doesn’t, there is a malfunction taking place.
Charging System Warning Light
Your battery and charging unit could be malfunctioning due to faulty wiring. Pull your vehicle over and get help from a professional.
Brake System
This is an indicator that your ABS isn’t functioning properly. You should still have control of your brakes but get help right away from a technician at Richardson Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.
Open Door Warning Light
Check all four doors of your vehicle and the trunk to see if something hasn’t latched correctly before you begin to drive away. The light should turn off once everything is closed the right way.
Coolant Level Warning
The sensors system in your vehicle may not be working the proper way, or your coolant level may be too low to maintain the right engine temperature. This isn’t a problem that should be ignored. If you continue to drive a vehicle that has an engine that is overheating, the result could be catastrophic to your entire vehicle.
