What does the engine warning light mean in a Kia Picanto?
Years 2018-2025

Answer

The engine light on a Kia Picanto can indicate various problems; it could be electronic problems (sensors, lambda probe, computer) or mechanical problems. In this case, if the warning light stays on, it could be an injection problem and the car will enter reduced power mode with reduced performance. If, on the other hand, the warning light flashes, the problem is even more urgent as it could indicate a problem with the catalyst that risks overheating. In any case, when the engine light comes on, you need to take the car to the mechanic to identify the problem.
