Hyundai Service Tips: Warning Light Guide

Your car’s dashboard warning light system is how it communicates with the driver to tell them that something’s wrong. Whether it’s something as simple as a door left open or something more complicated like engine issues, a light will turn when your car senses trouble. Here at Blaise Alexander Hyundai of State College, our team of certified technicians at our Hyundai service center is happy to provide a brief guide to the different warning lights that you’ll see.

Check Engine

The check engine light is the most wide-ranging and commonly-illuminated warning light in your vehicle. It’s often an ambiguous light, as it can relate to anything having to do with the motor and emissions system, ranging from the catalytic converter to a poorly-fitting gas cap. Our team has special diagnostic tools that can help determine the source of the issue, so schedule an appointment if this light turns on.

Battery Warning

The battery warning is easy to discern because it is shaped exactly like a battery, with positive and negative terminals. Even if the battery light ignites but the car drives normally, it could signify a long-term issue with the battery itself that needs to be checked out.

Transmission Temperature

An icon resembling a thermometer inside of a gear is the transmission temperature warning. This indicates that your car’s gearbox components are reaching a critical point and need to be evaluated.

Oil Pressure Warning

A symbol of an oil can with a drop of oil coming out of it means that there is something wrong with your car’s oil pressure. It could range from your car requiring an oil change to something more serious like an engine leak.
