Why does the engine warning light come on?

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

This video tutorial explains why the engine warning light comes on. When the yellow light illuminates, it indicates a less serious problem, whereas when the red light comes on, it signifies a more serious issue, meaning you should stop the car as soon as possible to avoid damage. The engine light activates when one of the sensors, related to emissions for example, detects an anomaly (such as the turbo pressure being too low or too high, or a blocked particulate filter, etc.). If you turn off the vehicle's engine and restart it, and the light remains on, the issue could be in the electronic system. If the light does not turn off, the best course of action is to visit a mechanic as soon as possible for a diagnosis.
