Chevrolet Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Are you educated on the different dashboard indicator lights that your Chevy will present to you? We’re going to talk about the 10 most common issues that will result in a dashboard indicator light. It’s important to know what each of these indicators mean when it comes to the overall condition of your vehicle.
Airbag Fault
If your airbag light stays on after you start your engine, there is a problem with your airbag system as a whole. A professional service technician can check your restraint system.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
The low fuel level indicator tells you there are only a few gallons of fuel left in your tank. It’s a good idea to head to a nearby gas station to fill up before you continue on your drive.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Your vehicle’s oil levels can decrease over time. When oil pressure is too low according to your car’s computer, pull over to check to see what your oil level is. If everything is fine, continue driving and make an appointment to have your vehicle checked out.
Service Vehicle Soon
This warning light is a reminder that routine maintenance should be performed soon. This includes things like a routine inspection, tire rotation, oil change, and having your fluids topped off.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Low inflation pressure in one or more of your tires can be a safety concern. Adjust your tire pressure to allow the light to reset in a few miles. If it doesn’t go off, have your tire pressure system inspected by Vandergriff Chevrolet.
Slip Indicator
Your vehicle can lose control on the road due to a number of weather or road conditions. When your Vehicle Stability Control system kicks in, your vehicle will alert you of what’s going on so you can change your driving pattern accordingly.
Charging System Warning Light
Your battery and charging circuit can have issues that result in a dashboard indicator light coming on. There are a number of things that could be wrong. Pull over and get help right away.
Brake System
An issue with your antilock braking system will cause an indicator light to come on, but you should still be able to retain full control of your braking system. Have your brakes checked out to see if there’s a problem that could compromise your safety.
Open Door Warning Light
This warning light is an indication that you have left your trunk or door open while your engine is running. Be sure to check all doors to ensure they are closed securely.
Coolant Level Warning
Never let your vehicle overheat and continue running. When you see this alert, you should pull over immediately to get help before damage occurs to your engine.
