Common Warning Lights On Your Dashboard

Airbag Warning

A fault in the Airbag system is present. This is often a loose wire underneath the front seats but could be a faulty unit or ECU.

* MOT FAILURE ITEM

ABS Warning

The Anti Lock Brake system has a fault present. This will affect the braking system and the way the vehicle reacts in an emergency stop.

* MOT FAILURE ITEM

Handbrake

If this illuminates while the handbrake is down, the brake fluid level could be below. If there is a fluid leak, this could potentially cause brake failure.

* MOT FAILURE ITEM

Tyre Pressure

This could indicate either that the tyre pressures are low, or there is a fault with the sensor and light needs resetting.

* MOT FAILURE ITEM (vehicles registered from 2012)

Oil Pressure

This light will come on when the key is turned in the ignition. However, if this illuminates while driving the engine oil pressure is low. DO NOT DRIVE with this light on. We recommend pulling over as soon as it is safe and getting the vehicle recovered to our nearest branch.

Electronic Programme Control

This light usually means that there is a fault with the brake light switch and that the brake lights are probably not working. This is a simple fix that requires a new brake light switch that should take under an hour to rectify.

* MOT FAILURE ITEM (brake lights not functioning)
