What can the activation of the "engine failure risk" warning on a Renault car be attributed to?

Model: Renault Renault Various
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video we can see the advice of a youtuber regarding the ignition of a worrying warning light that can come on in the instrument panel of a Renault car: "engine malfunction", which can come on together with the "STOP" signal, causing serious stress. The first problem can be traced back to the cooling system or the temperature sensor that is loose or damaged. So let's check that there are no leaks from the tank, examine the connections of the flexible hoses, the radiator, and top up the liquid (even water temporarily is fine) if we find a leak. The second problem is the fuel injector that may not be working properly, causing fuel delivery issues. One solution may be to clean it or replace it. The third problem is definitely the 12 Volt battery, which may be discharged or defective: the solution is only to replace the battery, especially if it is the original one or if it is three or four years old.
