What does the engine light on in the Ford Fiesta mean?
Years 2008-2017

Answer

If the Ford Fiesta engine light flashes, it indicates a general engine failure, and you need to take it to a workshop. If, on the other hand, it stays on, it means that there is a problem with the catalyst: also in this case you have to take the car to the workshop. If the warning light stays on and the car has performance problems, it means that the car has entered protection mode, to avoid worse engine problems: call a tow truck to take it to the workshop. If, on the other hand, the warning light stays on and flashes, the situation is serious: the catalyst is overheated and there is a risk of fire. Get out of the way and call a tow truck to the garage.
