Buick, GMC Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Your vehicle's service indicator lights are a window through which you can see the health of your Buick GMC vehicle. When you get indicator lights, it's a sign that something is amiss with your car. While these lights can be falsely tripped in some situations, more often than not, they're a sign that you need to service your vehicle in some way.
Airbag Fault
When your airbag system experiences problems, you get an Airbag Fault light. This light signifies that you need to contact the dealership to fix the issue. Like all other lights, it could be a falsely tripped light, or it could be a serious problem with your airbag system.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
By far, the most common indicator light people encounter daily, the low fuel level warning light is a sure sign that it's time to visit your local gas station.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
To function optimally, your Buick GMC vehicle needs to have enough oil. If oil levels get low, you may get an oil pressure light, signifying that you're low on oil. If you check oil levels and find they're normal, it might mean that there's a problem with the light indicator system.
Service Vehicle Soon
Regular maintenance of your vehicle is crucial to its longevity. This specific light can indicate many things. It could mean you need a tire rotation or oil change, or it could mean something more serious.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Tires need air just like your engine needs coolant. Low tires can even cause an accident, so this is a light you don't want to ignore. If your tire pressure is low, refill your tires with more air.
Slip Indicator
The slip indicator is a sign that something is wrong with your TRAC (Traction Control) system or your Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system. Both of these systems keep your vehicle stable and firmly planted on the road for safe driving. If you see this light come on, call our dealership immediately for service.
Charging System Warning Light
Batteries and other electrical problems can trip this light. It might mean that your wiring is damaged, or another problem has gone wrong with the circuit/battery system. In some cases, it may be a malfunction with the light itself.
Brake System
Your brakes can save your life, and they need to function correctly at all times. If you get a brake system light, it's time for maintenance or repair. It could be something simple like brake pads or something more dangerous. Contact our techs immediately if this light comes on.
Open Door Warning Light
We all know to shut our car doors before driving, but sometimes they are not shut firmly. If you get an open door warning light, it means one of your doors isn't closed correctly. Check all doors.
Coolant Level Warning
Coolant protects your engine from overheating. If you see a coolant level warning, it could mean that your vehicle is low on coolant. When this happens, your engine can become damaged. Do not ignore this light.
