Tips For Self Diagnosis

Engine Management Light

Brake Warning Light

ABS Light

Battery Light

Oil Light

Engine Management Light

The engine warning light illuminates when the ignition is turned on and should go out as soon as the engine starts. If it stays on or flashes whilst driving, it could indicate a fault with the engine management system and you should have it checked at the earliest opportunity on a diagnostic computer.

Brake Warning Light

ABS Light

Battery Light

The battery light will come on when the ignition is turned and goes off shortly after the engine has started. If the light does not come on at all or whilst you are driving, there may be a fault with the charging system. This could be due to a loose battery or starter terminals, a broken or loose alternator belt or alternator failure. In any of these events, seek assistance as soon as possible.
