Dashboard Light Colors

Even if you don’t know what they mean, the color of your dashboard lights can be a great way to determine the action you should take. Green or blue lights are often used for indicator lights, which just come on to let you know a system is working and active. Yellow or orange warning lights can indicate a malfunction that should be addressed in the future. Red lights, however, indicate a serious problem that should be seen by a technician as soon as possible.

Brake System Warning Light

The brake system warning light looks like an exclamation point with a circle around it and monitors your brake system and components. If you see this light come on, it’s best to get your vehicle to a service center as soon as possible to be sure there isn’t a problem that could compromise your brakes’ operation.

    Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

    The engine coolant temperature warning light looks like a thermometer in liquid and monitors your engine’s temperature. If your engine is at risk of overheating, this light will come on, which means you should pull over to allow it to cool down. Once it’s safe to drive again, it’s best to get to a nearby service center.

      Check Engine Warning Light

      A check engine light can be found on every vehicle’s dashboard and looks like an engine outline. If it comes on, it could mean anything from a loose fuel cap to a problem with the emission control system, so it’s important to have your vehicle serviced by a professional technician.

        Low Oil Pressure Warning Light

        The low oil pressure warning light looks like an old-fashioned oil lamp and monitors your oil level and oil pressure. If this light comes on, it could indicate that the oil levels are low, the oil pressure is low or there’s a problem with the sensor. The first step is to check your oil and see if simply replacing it will help, but if it continues, be sure to visit a service center to have your vehicle inspected and oil change performed.
