A new phenomenon in the last years. You drive on the road, the car feels normal, and seems to work properly. And then, not one or two, but not less than three lights suddenly burst on the dashboard. What now? This is a very difficult subject to explain verbally - and even harder in writing!
To the original concept of a warning light, light, light, idiot or whatever you care to call it, was the driver's attention to a potentially serious problem. And while this remains true, the fact that in today's advanced automobile technology, some systems depends on the proper functioning of several others. Thus, a defect in a system in the closure of other flying depend on the first.
Thus a dashboard display several warning lights come on while secondary effectively tells a single driver that these systems are closed. A bad case of multiple light-syndrome, and, for the average driver, a potentially scary time indeed.
Stability control systems and advanced traction control are the main culprits, or more to the point, the electronics on which they depend. And they are the least likely to get frustrated. These systems rely on signals from the electronic control of engine, transmission, antilock brakes (ABS), and suspension systems. A single failure in one of these systems means that this system can not be trusted. Such a disorder seen in the ABS lights ABS light, light traction or stability control, and the slip.
Stories or idiot lights, because they come to be known, were originally developed to drivers who did not understand how to help an easy read. Advanced systems of today are not suitable for a pressure gauge are associated with them, so that all warning lights can be hoped is to draw the attention of a driver. And more, they are guaranteed to do just that.
The auto industry turns its eyes to the fact that the average driver is not even informed a technician, and witnesses to the circus at a time, frankly, a frightening sight. The first question is always "my car is roadworthy"? In truth, the answer is almost always "yes."
Here is the final result. A plurality of lights seldom, if ever, say several system defects. A defect in the machine will perform ABS and drivetrain in its upcoming debt related to light. There is an error train stops and / or stability control systems, and these "off" lights appear, telling you they are closed. It is perfectly safe to drive with the most advanced systems because they are destined to occur in only the most extreme conditions.
If the problem solved? Yes, and as soon as possible. As the vehicle is operating normally, you have the time to reach your dealer for service to a minimum. Just add a little more careful on your hard disk.
However, if the vehicle is not working properly, do not try to drive it. Call roadside assistance immediately!
