Warning Lights
There is a wide array of warning lights to keep you on your toes. With so many, we do not blame you if you have questions about them. If you do not see the answers you want below, give our Bayshore team a call today.
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): The Anti-Lock Braking System warning light comes on when the ABS is not working correctly, reducing vehicle control.
Battery: If the Battery warning light is on, it means there is an issue with your electrical systems.
Brake System Warning Lamp: The Brake System Warning Lamp comes on when your parking brake is on/applied. If your parking brake is off and it still shows, please see a dealer promptly.
Electric Park Brake: If the Electric Parking Brake warning light comes on, it is because there is a system error with the electric parking brake.
Engine or Motor Coolant Temperature: The Engine or Motor Coolant Temperature illuminates when your coolant is too high. If you are driving, pull over and turn off your vehicle to let it cool down.
Engine Oil: If the Engine Oil light is on, stop your vehicle when it is safe to do so, turn off the engine, and check the engine oil level. Bring your vehicle in for an oil change soon.
Front Airbag: If the Front Airbag warning light flashes multiple times or remains on when the engine is running, there is a malfunction. Please have a professional inspect your vehicle as soon as possible.
Headlight Range Control: Headlight Range Control warning lights illuminate when the control system needs service or repair.
High Voltage Electric System Failure: The High Voltage Electric System Failure light comes on if your hybrid electric Ford vehicle has an electrical fault or failure. This can shut down your vehicle.
Loose Gas Cap Warning: The Loose Gas Cap warning light indicates an issue with the gas cap. The issue may be as simple as tightening the gas cap, so ensure you check it out quickly.
Low Beam Warning: The Low Beam warning light tells drivers that the low beam headlamp bulb is not functioning properly.
Low Tire Pressure Warning: The Low Tire Pressure warning light indicates that the tire pressure is low and that you should fill up your tires as soon as possible. If the warning light remains, please bring your vehicle in for an inspection.
Powertrain Fault: The Powertrain Fault light detects and indicates an issue with the powertrain. If it is on, please do not drive your vehicle.
Service Engine Soon: The Service Engine Soon warning light comes on when your vehicle is ready for Inspection and Maintenance testing.
