Hello, You need to go to a Autoznoe, Advance, or Oreilys autoparts store for a FREE scan. When you have a warning light on, it means something is wrong and needs attention soon.

The Free scans I mentioned will identify a more exact cause of what your vehicle is trying to tell you. When either place scans your vehicle, try to get the Code number for that problem. Most of the time the autoparts places can sell you a part you can switch yourself.

If you are not capable of performing the repair, after the scan you will know how to price the best deal for that repair because it is identified. Just call around for a price to service that repair.

The brake symbol means a brake problem and sometimes displays ABS. The "check engine or wrench" symbol can be in the list of Codes I mentioned.

I hope my explanation helps you.

Don't know what warning light means

What exactly does the warning light look like? It is probably the transmission warning light. The transmission uses the radiator to cool the transmission fluid. You need to have your cooling system serviced on a 10 year old car. Drain, flush, fresh coolant, new thermostat. A full service. Keep driving and you may end up with a transmission repair. Good luck.

Warning light --Upside down horseshoe with exclamation point

It should be letting you know that you have a tire pressure problem. If you still have the owners manual read it. It will explain what to do, what to look for and how to reset the light if need be.

A warning light comes on from time to time and I don't know what that light means where could I find warning lights on the board so I know what that means?

Typically when the warning light comes on, it will log a trouble code in the computer. The code can be read by any repair shop and many of the auto parts stores will do it for free. Once they see the code(s), they'll be able to tell you what the issue is.
