Check engine Book a check soon What it means The engine computer found a fault in the engine or emissions system. Steady: drive on, but book a check soon. Flashing: slow down and avoid long trips. What to do We read the code and test for the real cause.
Battery / charging Pull over safely What it means The car is not charging: alternator, battery or wiring. You could run out of power mid-drive. What to do Switch off A/C and extras and come straight in.
Oil pressure Pull over safely What it means Oil pressure is low. Every minute of driving risks the engine. What to do Pull over, switch off the engine and call us.
Engine temperature Pull over safely What it means The engine is overheating. Coolant may be low or the fan may not be running. What to do Stop and switch off. Never open the radiator cap while hot.
ABS Book a check soon What it means Anti-lock braking is off. Normal brakes still work, but without ABS on wet roads. Usually a wheel-speed sensor. What to do Drive gently and we will check the sensors.
Airbag (SRS) Book a check soon What it means The airbags may not deploy in a crash. Often a connector under a seat or a sensor. What to do Do not leave it long. We read the airbag module and pin it down.
Brake system Pull over safely What it means Either the handbrake is on or brake fluid is low. If it stays on with the handbrake released, the brakes are at risk. What to do Do not drive if the light stays on and the pedal feels soft.
Tyre pressure Book a check soon What it means A tyre is low on air, or a pressure sensor has failed. What to do Check the pressures first. If it stays on, we test and program the sensors.
Power steering (EPS) Book a check soon What it means The electric power steering may turn heavy, especially at low speed. What to do Drive carefully and come in. Usually a sensor or the steering module.
Hybrid system Pull over safely What it means A fault in the hybrid system or high-voltage battery. The car may lose power or stop. What to do Pull over safely. Do not open anything yourself: the voltage is dangerous. General information only. Every car is different, so ask us before deciding.
