I have 2010 g class problem is the warning sign on dashboard just a red car shown in dashboard

The red car warning light on the dashboard of your 2010 G-Class vehicle indicates a problem with the vehicle's stability control system. The stability control system is an important safety feature that helps to keep the vehicle stable and under control during driving, particularly in slippery or uneven road conditions. When the red car warning light is illuminated, it indicates that there is a fault with the stability control system and it may not be functioning properly. It is recommended to have the vehicle assessed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible in order to diagnose and fix the problem. Continuing to drive the vehicle with a faulty stability control system can increase the risk of accidents or other issues.

No sign of gear on the dashboard of my Nissan serena

Generally, when the dashboard warning light populates, panic erupts - why? Most people are unaware of what specific symbols mean. If they did, they would know that not every warning light signal is indicative of a malfunction or costly repair.
At times, your dashboard lights are merely letting you know what systems are in use. We decided to compile a list of the most important indications, so you can have a better understanding of Nissan warning lights and their meanings.

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.

1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager.........Dashboard instruments quit working and don't light up. Speedo, tach, fuel gauge, temp gauge, and mileage indicators and lights for same stopped working. ABS...

You have some wiring problems shorting out that is coming from the dash board so if you or anyone you know how to use a multimeter to check the wireing harnesses plus check any connectors that might be just very touching the connector of dashboard which means a bad connection to dashboard.

On dashboard check light stays ON after starting engine while all other lights are OFF

If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.

A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.

This light comes on when the computer detects a fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has detected that the issue may no longer be present.

In order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have caused the light to initially turn on.
