What Does the Engine Light Indicate When It's On?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning light – error code

Video tutorial

The Engine light is a warning generated by the ECU when it detects a problem in the emissions control system or the engine, such as faulty sensors, ignition issues, leaks in the fuel cap system, or a clogged catalyst. If the light is steady, drive cautiously and schedule a check soon.

If the light is flashing, it indicates an emergency that could damage the catalyst: stop immediately and call a breakdown service, but do not turn off the engine right away, as this could cause the engine to seize! The light being on may prevent the car from exceeding 18-25 mph, while disabling a number of functions.

Therefore, drive only as necessary, do not disconnect the battery as this would reset the light but not resolve the fault.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
