This is a general guide. We'll confirm the real cause with a proper check before any work.
The engine computer found a problem, anything from a loose gas cap to a misfire.
Keep driving? Yes, but get it checked soon. If it's flashing, slow down and come in right away.
The engine is losing oil pressure. Driving like this can ruin the engine in minutes.
Keep driving? No. Pull over safely, turn off the engine and call us.
The charging system isn't working, often the alternator. The car runs on battery power and can die.
Keep driving? Only a short way. Turn off extras like the radio and A/C and come straight in.
The engine is overheating, often from low coolant, a leak or a bad fan.
Keep driving? No. Pull over, turn off the engine and let it cool. Never open the radiator cap while it's hot.
The parking brake may be on. If it isn't, the brake fluid may be low or there's a brake problem.
Keep driving? First release the parking brake. If the light stays on or the pedal feels soft, don't drive. Call us.
The anti-lock brake system is off. Normal brakes still work, but wheels can lock in a hard stop.
Keep driving? Yes, carefully. Leave extra room to stop and get it checked soon.
One or more tires are low on air. The right pressure is on the sticker inside the driver's door.
Keep driving? Carefully, to add air soon. If the light comes back, you may have a leak. Stop by.
There's a fault in the airbag system. The airbags may not open in a crash.
Keep driving? The car drives normally, but get it checked soon for your safety.
Flashing means the system is working on a slippery road. Staying on means it's switched off or has a fault.
Keep driving? Yes. Ease off the gas when it flashes. If it stays on, get it checked.
