This is a warning Light, Its probably a emmisions related concern. The light comes on because the on board computer has detected a concern with the powertrain management of the vehicle. You need to have it put on a OBD2 scanner to have the fault codes pulled so it can be determined what the next step needs to be. If you are strapped for cash and cant take it to your local mechanic, stop by the local Advance/Autozone and they usually will come out and pull the codes for you for free... That will at least get you headed in the right direction.
There is no way without an OBD2 scanner of some sort to pull the codes.
Hope this helps
Sincerely
Roger

I have a orange light that stays on but dont know what the symbol means volvo v40 1999 car

So your check engine light came on. I would definately reset the error registry by disconnecting your battery for a couple of minutes...reconnect battery. Start the car up and see if the light still comes on...If it does, I would recommend getting the code read to determine exactly what it means. Could be something as simple as a sensor to something more serious.

Engine management light

You need an OBD2 scanner to read the error code. It plugs in to your car and is typically under the steering wheel. Autozone will read the error code for free.

Airbag light stays on 1996 grande cherokee

SRS light needs a special reset tool. The dealer, a good competent shop or even a body shop can reset the lights for you and most will do it free. If it comes back on, one of your crash sensors are bad (little orange cylinders in engine compartment with wiring coming from them)

Chevy 2000 silverado tow haul wont work, light wont come on and the engine light stays on all the time

I had that problem yesterday and researched the web. Found out underneath the steering column, take the bottom plastic cover off, there is a orange wire for the tow/haul. It's actually 2 white wires with orange covering. It was broke.
Splice the two wires back together and it works great...
