Long Mouth Teapot Light - Engine Oil Warning Light:

The oil lamp is a safety alarm device for the engine lubrication system, so if the oil lamp flashes during driving, the engine must be immediately turned off for inspection. If you continue to drive, it can easily cause engine damage and affect driving safety. The oil warning light comes on. In many cases, it is due to a lack of oil. Adding oil is relatively simple, and the owner can solve it themselves. If you go to a 4S store or repair shop, it is not only time-consuming, but also easy to be fooled into replacing them all. In fact, engine oil has a certain lifespan, and it does not need to be replaced before it expires or deteriorates. It only needs to be replenished in a timely manner.

Engine malfunction warning light:

The engine malfunction signal is sent out by the engine computer, which controls all electronic devices of the entire engine, such as electronic throttle, fuel injector, generator, fuel pump, etc., covering various systems such as intake, exhaust, fuel, ignition, timing, etc. So if the engine fault light is on, it only indicates that there is an abnormality in a certain system. As for the specific fault, it needs to be interpreted with the help of a computer detector. Each brand of car has its own unique fault code. The engine is the heart of a car, and it can be said that it is of great importance. If there is a problem in it, the impact will be very significant.

The temperature alarm light is on, which usually indicates that the temperature is too high. When the water temperature in the water tank reaches 100 degrees while the car is driving, the water temperature indicator light will light up, commonly known as "boiling". When the water temperature indicator light of the vehicle lights up, it should be pulled over and stopped. At this time, do not rush to turn off the engine. If the water temperature is too high, it means that the engine cooling is affected, and the engine components overheat and expand. After turning off, it can cause damage to the engine.

The correct approach is to keep the car idling and wait for it to cool down. Some people say that you can pour cold water on the engine to cool it. In fact, this is wrong. We all know that Thermal expansion are easy to crack the engine block when heated and cooled. Some people say they can try twisting a small crack in the water tank to allow the water vapor to escape. In fact, I suggest waiting a bit longer if you're not in a hurry, because the internal pressure of the water tank is very high during "boiling", and if it's not screwed properly, it can cause the high-temperature coolant in the water tank to surge out and cause burns to your hands and even face.After the water temperature has completely cooled down and the cold water has been refilled, it is also necessary to find time to go to the repair shop for testing, because the reason for "boiling" is not only due to the high workload of the hot weather air conditioner, but also possibly due to problems with the fan, thermostat, or water pump.
