Dashboard Warning Lights
GarageDex's warning light guide follows the colour your dashboard uses. A red warning light means stop or act now. An amber light means a fault to get checked soon. Pick the light you are seeing for what it means, whether you can keep driving, and what to do.
If your check engine light is on, it has stored a trouble code. Look up the code for the exact fault.
Stop driving as soon as it is safe
