What to Do If the Engine Warning Light Comes On?

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

An illuminated engine warning light on a moving vehicle raises suspicion and anxiety as it is a generic warning light, and we cannot be sure it concerns a minor issue. The engine fault light relates to both mechanical and electrical components of the vehicle. If it lights up, first check its colour. If the light is red, it indicates a clear and potentially serious fault; in this case, pull over and have the vehicle taken to a garage. If the light is orange/yellow, it means the fault is not obvious and not excessively serious, so you can calmly continue to the garage.
