What year is your ka? if its the later model it has electric power steering. the warning light means a fault in the system or it needs to be recalibrated ie. if the battery has been disconneted or gone flat. try with engine running turn steering wheel from full lock to full lock both ways a couple of times if that dont work there is poss a fault in the system and needs to go to a dealer for safety reasons good luck

That symbol is the low tire pressure light. You have a tire that is right at the minimum threshold. The light goes off as the tire temperature rises, and, as the temp rises, the internal air pressure also rises slightly. Just check the tires with a good pressure gauge, inflate them to the specs printed on the tag inside your driver's side door, and you will be just fine.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.

SOURCE: Dashboard warning lights.

The warning light that looks like a pot or kettle with arrows is the "Low tire pressure warning light*" I found the answer on the Toyota web site by registering, logging in, entering my model and searching the owners manuals for warning lights.

SOURCE: steering wheel off centre on ford ka, had tracking

if wheel is offline then the person who done the tracking is responsable and take the car back to them and get them to put it right .the correct way is to adjust each track rod end a little bit not all the adjustment on one track end ,which throws out the wheel alignment .this means that you lose steering lock on one side .THIS IS COWBOY BODGE JOB .If they cant or wont put it right then take it to someone who can and report them to the office of fair trading and make a legal claim for the job to be put right

Testimonial: "cheers thanks for the advice."

O5 expedition 5.4 3valve triton: what does the exclamation light mean and wrench light

The wrench warning light on Ford vehicles is the powertrain malfunction indicator light. When it illuminates, it means that the computer has detected an issue with your vehicle's powertrain or four-wheel-drive system.

A powertrain malfunction light should be taken seriously, as allowing a serious issue to persist can lead to costly repairs to your engine, transmission, or drivetrain in the long run. You should consider having the car towed straight to an authorized dealer rather than driving if you notice any changes in your vehicle's performance like engine shaking or reduced power. In cases where you are towing a heavy load and/or driving up a steep grade, a powertrain malfunction light may be telling you to ease off to avoid overheating. If the problem resolves itself the warning may go away.
It's possible that your vehicle might enter Fail-Safe Mode shortly after the powertrain malfunction light illuminates. Fail-Safe Mode automatically limits engine power so that you can safely maneuver your vehicle off the road without causing any further damage to your vehicle's components. If this happens, you should only continue to drive as long as necessary to bring your vehicle to rest in a safe location and seek immediate repairs.

If your Ford dashboard warning light is orange or red, this can be a signal that your vehicle is experiencing a problem that should be looked at very soon. Use Ford's quick and easy dashboard warning light reference sheet to determine what is happening with your vehicle.
When a light is yellow, your Ford is trying to tell you that service may be required, or at the least, you should have a technician decipher the warning lights meaning. When a Ford dashboard warning light is green or blue, they are simply telling you that one of your Ford's features is being used, or has been activated.

My dashboard light of a cog with exclamation mark in has come on what does it mean

This is NOT a Tyre pressure sensor warning!
Don't know why people post this when they haven't got the foggiest idea.
It is a fault associated with the drivetrain which includes from the injectors on the engine to the transmission and possibly just a sensor malfunction.
There are multiple errors possible with this fault.
Requires a diagnostic OBD2 port analysis of the ECU to clear the fault codes and further analysis.

Dashboard warning symbols

is normally the check engine light and can literally come on for millions of reasons if cars runs fine I would first check oil and antifreeze levels then if its still running fine dont worry about it in the shop we have people come in with lights on all the time and honestly most the time the light was never reset and there is not a problem.

I haver\ a light on dashboard that looks like a steering wheel with a ! what does it mean

It's your speed sensitive power steering light. Your speed sensitive power steering makes your wheel harder to turn when you're going fast and easier to turn when you are going slow. I have a 2005 Forenza and mine keeps coming on and off but I can't figure out why yet. Hope it helps!
