Car Dashboard Warning Lights


When a warning light pops up on your dashboard there is no need to go into panic mode. On Tuesday my Check Engine or Malfunction Indicator Light came on. The following list of warning lights are the most common lights used by auto manufacturers. Not all warning lights are universal. Always refer to your owner's manual when you're not 100% sure what the light indicates.


Many warning lights indicate that a fault has occurred inside the vehicle's system, but it doesn't pinpoint the item or system that has failed. In these cases, a code reader or scan tool can help determine the part that needs to be replaced. If an indicator light comes on your dash, you can visit your local AutoZone store to get a quick diagnosis test and get to the root of the issue.


After the diagnosis test the associate printed what part I needed. It was my ignition wires and spark plugs. It's that simple to get to the root of the problem. Since my Uncle is a mechanic he replaced out the parts and now my car is running smooth!

* If you don't have a family mechanic. You can take your vehicle to the Dealership, Goodyear etc. to get the issue repaired as well!
