Dashboard indicator lights. What does the little orange engine mean when it's lit up???

Service Engine Soon

If the Service Engine Soon indicator light stays lit after you've started the engine, the On Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has detected a malfunction of the vehicle emissions control system. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
If indicator light is blinking, an engine misfire may be occurring, which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration), and have your vehicle serviced immediately.*
The Service Engine Soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned on (prior to engine start) in order to test the bulb, as well as indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the Service Engine Soon light will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds this light blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.Check this link out Gary.

Its engine management light and indicates that something is wrong within engine (either sensor, timing out or even egr not working properly). Unless put on diagnostic scanner you can't really tell where exactly the problem is.

that little orange light is the check engine warning light.
that means there could be something significantly wrong
the light is turned on by the computer in the car, the computer was told by one or more of the electronic sensors that something is not correctly working.
Take you car in a service repair company or the dealer and have the "engine check light diagnosed" they will tell you afterward what could be not working correctly.

Can you describe what it looks like?

whenever this light is turned on there is a electronic engine control fault code set in the memory of the computer that controlds the system, have the OBD 2 electronic engine control system tested to determine which one of the approx 200 poss fault codes u have stored in memory

Hi there,

The yellow/orange Engine Check Light is an indicator that your vehicle's computer has detected an abnormality within the engine's electronics or emission system.

Sometimes it can be a one-off abnormality, which eventually rectifies itself within 40 drive cycles.

However, if the Engine light remains lit, then this is an indication of something more concerning (but not necessarily serious).

If it does remain lit when driving, then you should have your local Jaguar service agent scan the computer for "trouble codes", which will quickly identify the component and/or location of the problem.


Hope this helps...


Cheers,

that would be your check engine light you will need to go to the dealer or a garage that has a scanner to read the code stored in the car computer . your car is now running in safe mode, which is not optimum performance.

That particular light indicates that you have a burned out taillamp or brake lamp.
