If you are not familiar with each Ford dash light’s meaning, you’re not alone. That is why the team at Holman Ford Turnersville has designed this Ford warning lights and symbols guide. We cover some of the most important Ford warning lights so you can drive with confidence in Turnersville.

Each Ford Dash Light’s Meaning 

The color of the Ford warning lights lets you know about the severity of the issue. Some of the Ford warning lights even flash to draw attention to a more severe or time-sensitive problem:

• Green or Blue – Green or blue dash lights are just letting you know that one or more of your vehicle’s features are activated. 
• Yellow – A yellow light is a warning that service is needed soon. 
• Orange or Red – A red or orange dashboard light is alerting you to a more serious problem. Pull over or drive with caution until the issue has been addressed. 

While there are many Ford warning lights, here are some of the most important ones to be aware of on your Washington Township drives:

• Check Engine Light – If this light comes on and it is not blinking, the problem is likely less severe as long as the vehicle is running normally. If the light is blinking, it is alerting you to a more serious issue. Safely pull over and have the vehicle towed to the nearest Ford service center. 
• Battery Light – When this light is illuminated, turn off all unnecessary features and have your vehicle checked out by a mechanic very soon. 
• Engine Coolant – The engine coolant light alerts you that the vehicle’s internal temperature is too high. Your vehicle may not have enough coolant. Let the vehicle cool down and check the coolant level. If the coolant level is correct, the vehicle should be towed to a local service center.
• Engine Oil Pressure – If you notice this light, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so and turn the car off. The vehicle either does not have enough oil or there is a malfunction in the system. Do not drive the car again before the vehicle is fixed.
