Check Engine Light

Dashboard Lights & Why You Should Be Paying Attention to Them

Keeping up on your vehicle’s maintenance is a core aspect of ownership. Thankfully, your Dodge comes with the tools needed to help you stay on top of its care. The vehicle’s dashboard comes with numerous lights that display when something needs to be addressed on or in the vehicle. If you ever notice a new dashboard light appear, let Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City, MI, help you determine what it is and how to get it fixed quickly and accurately so you can get back on the road with confidence. Schedule an appointment with our Service Center today if you’d like our assistance with any concerning light that you feel needs to be looked at.

Examples of Dashboard Lights to Be Watching For 

Oil Can – Whenever you see what looks like an oil can with a drop of oil plopping out of it, this is usually an indication that you have low oil pressure. This could mean your vehicle is running low on oil and needs to be topped off or fully replaced. Alternatively, this could mean you have an issue such as a leak that needs to be brought to our Service Center immediately for repair. 

Battery – Much like the oil can, seeing a picture of a battery appear can likely mean one of several things. Possible causes for the light appearing could range from an alternator issue to potential wiring flaws. It will also appear if you are trying to start your Dodge and not getting any ignition.

Engine – When you see an engine appear on your dashboard, the possible causes are numerous. To be safe, we advise bringing your Dodge in for an emergency service appointment as soon as you see this light appear. It could be something as simple as a loose gas cap that needs to be addressed, but it could also be a precursor of a significant problem happening with the engine itself.
