Here’s What Those Dashboard Lights Mean

What Your Honda Dashboard Lights Are Trying to Tell You

Picture this: you’re cruising along, singing to your favorite playlist, when suddenly, a light pops up on your Honda’s dashboard. Panic? Not necessary. These lights are like your car’s way of dropping helpful hints about what it needs. Let’s decode the mystery behind those glowing icons so you can tackle any issue like a pro.

And remember, your new Honda vehicle has plenty of safety and driver-assistance features to keep you safe and confident on the road.

A Closer Look at Your Dashboard Lights Meaning

When the check engine light flashes its engine-shaped icon, it’s not asking for a casual check-in – it’s raising a red flag for potential engine or emissions trouble. Pull over and get it checked ASAP. On the other hand, the oil level light, which looks like a tiny oil can, is your car begging for an oil check.

And then there’s the battery light – a battery icon glowing on your dash like a plea for attention. It’s a heads-up that something’s off with the charging system. Meanwhile, the brake system warning isn’t subtle; it’s all about safety. Whether it’s brake fluid levels or pads, don’t gamble – check it out right away.

Have you ever seen a light that looks like a horseshoe with an exclamation mark? That’s the tire pressure monitoring system letting you know one or more tires need air pronto. Or maybe you spot the bold "ABS" light. That’s the anti-lock braking system raising its hand for help – it’s essential for safe stops, so don’t ignore it.

Feeling flashy with squiggly lines under a car icon? That’s the traction control light, which is totally normal when it’s working to keep your tires in check on slippery roads. But if it stays on, something might be up. And if you see a thermometer icon? Your engine is overheating, friend. Pullover, cool it down, and figure out what’s wrong.

The airbag warning light – a little person with a circle – means your safety system might be compromised. Don’t mess around with this one; have it inspected immediately. And when the trusty wrench icon appears, it’s the maintenance minder gently nudging you to schedule your next service.
