Know Your Warning Lights
Get to Know the Warning Lights In Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram
Not sure what all the warning lights on your dashboard mean? If you don't have your owner's manual handy or aren't sure where to look, our experts in the Service Center at Troncalli Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram are here to help. Preventative maintenance is the best way to keep your vehicle running as it should, but vehicles are complicated machinery with numerous moving parts that require regular attention. When a warning light comes on, don't delay; call our Service Center for more information and find out the next steps for the different types of dashboard warning lights.
Tire Pressure Warning
Low tire pressure can reduce fuel efficiency, impact steering, and increase the risk of a blowout. Find your nearest air pump station or visit our Service Center to get your tires back up to the recommended levels.
Master Warning Light
The Master Warning Light alerts drivers that there is an issue and typically comes on with another indicator to give clues to the possible issue.
Oil Warning
The oil warning light can indicate low oil levels, leaking, or other damage related to the engine components.
Check Engine Light
The dreaded check engine light can indicate anything from a minor issue like a loose gas cap (the number one cause for tripping the check engine light!) to something more serious. Schedule a diagnostics appointment to get to the bottom of the problem.
Loose Gas Cap Warning
Some vehicles have a warning light specifically to alert drivers of a loose gas cap. It is a very common but minor issue. Simply tighten the fuel cap, and the warning light should clear after a couple of miles.
Battery Warning
The car battery is crucial for starting the car and powering electrical accessories. The lifespan of car batteries is typically three to five years, and their quality can start to degrade near the end of their life cycle.
Low Fuel Warning
The Low Fuel Warning light is another common warning that comes on 20 to 50 miles before empty to ensure you don't inadvertently run out of gas. You should refuel as soon as possible after the light comes on.
Brake Warning
The Brake Warning requires immediate attention as your ability to brake properly can save your life. If this warning light comes on, contact our Service Center right away to schedule brake maintenance.
Engine Temperature Indicator
Car engines create a lot of excess heat as a by-product of combustion or friction. The cooling system works hard to ensure the right temperature. Contact us to provide expert care for your vehicle's cooling system and prevent overheating.
Electric Throttle Control Warning
The electric throttle control warning is a serious warning that something is wrong with the system and should never be ignored. Make your way to our dealership if it is safe to do so for further assistance.
Air Bag Warning
Airbags are critical safety items, and the airbag warning light means that there is something wrong with the life-saving equipment. Don't delay! Contact our Service Center right away for this warning light.
Electric Power Steering Error
Power steering makes it easier to turn the wheel. If you find it difficult to steer and the power steering warning light is on, our team can help troubleshoot the problem and fix electric power steering issues.
Immobilizer Fault Indicator
The immobilizer is an anti-theft device that prevents your vehicle from starting or driving without a key fob present. Try turning off the vehicle and restarting it to reset the system. If the issue persists, contact our team for further assistance.
Electric Park Brake Warning
The electric parking brake is great for ensuring your vehicle doesn't roll away when parked on a steep hill. If the warning light turns on, there may be an issue with the parking brake, which should always be disengaged while driving to prevent damage to the braking system.
Low Windshield Washer Fluid Indicator
When the washer fluid is low in the reservoir, the warning light will turn on to remind you to refill it. We are happy to assist you and provide high-quality washer fluid to ensure safe driving and clear visibility.
