WESTLAND, Mich.––Have you ever been driving and noticed a small red, white, yellow, or blue symbol light show up on your dashboard? Have you ever been confused as to why that little light showed up and what it means? We've all been there, but with this
comprehensive dashboard light guide courtesy of North Brothers Ford, you'll no longer be wondering. The new page on our website contains pictures and explanations of each dashboard light that you might see show up. Let's briefly review what information we cover on the page.
Your vehicle relies on many different components to run, so when one of those components isn't working as it should, a light will typically show up on your dashboard. This could be anything from a generic Check Engine light to a Brake System light. These lights usually mean your vehicle should be serviced or inspected as soon as possible to avoid further damage or a disabled vehicle all together. On this section of the page we go over each of the following lights:
-Check Engine Light
-Battery Light
-Engine Oil Light
-Brake System Light
-Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Light
-Electric Park Brake Light
-Engine Coolant Temperature Light
-Low Fuel Level Light
-Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
-Powertrain Fault Light
Whatever vehicle you drive, chances are you have features special to your make and model. For instance, some newer Ford vehicles come with adaptive cruise control or other advanced safety features. In this section on the page, we cover all the possible lights you might see that relate to optional features. We go over the following lights:
-Adaptive Cruise Contol
-Auto Start Stop Indicator
-Blind Spot Monitor Indicator
-Cruise Control Light
-Heads Up Display Indicator
-Lane Keeping Aid Indicator
-Stability Control Light
While you think of a warning light as a bad thing, there are lights that are simply there to indicate if something is on or off, open or close, etc. In this section we go over all the standard notification lights you might see on your dashboard. Some of these lights require immediate action, some do not, but most of these lights don't mean you need service. On this section of the page we cover these lights:
-Turn Signal Indicator
-Door Ajar Indicator
-Hood Ajar Indicator
-Trunk Ajar Indicator
-Fasten Safety Belt Indicator
-Front Airbag Indicator
