Electrical and Electronic Systems Repair or Replacement in Litchfield County, CT

Your dashboard warning system has lights that will warn you if there are problems with your car. These warning lights include but are not limited to oil, temperature, brakes, and tire pressure. The indicator lights are all in a little group on your dashboard and when one of them lights up almost every car owner gasps in dread. If one of your symbols lights up and you’re not sure what it is you can check your manual if you have one, but if you don’t you can come with a text description of the symbol and do an internet search for it.

Most of the symbols are universal but if you put in the make and model of your car it should tell you what it means. In the newer cars the alerts are coded according to color. Yellow, orange, and red lights are telling you that you need to get to a mechanic as soon as you possibly can. The blue and green lights are not warnings. They are simply there to let you know that a certain system has been engaged such as your brights. If a light pops up, you can take your car in to have a dashboard diagnostics test done. Your mechanic will be able to look up the codes that your vehicle’s computer is throwing out that caused the warning lights to come on and tell you exactly what the problems are. There are codes for everything from having too much air in your tires to not enough oil in your engine. If the warning system is glitching and sending out false warning your mechanic will be able to assist you with that as well.
