Warning Light FAQs

Why is my car's ABS light on?

An Anti-Lock Braking System or ABS warning light on your dash indicates something in your car's ABS needs to be checked out by a qualified mechanic. Your ABS is one of your most important safety systems. Do not ignore this warning light. Common issues include:

  • Malfunctioning ABS module

  • Low levels in the brake fluid reservoir

  • Broken speed sensor

  • The ABS system is not receiving power

Why does my car keep saying the coolant level is low?

If a low coolant warning light is on, stop driving and go directly to the auto repair shop. The solution is generally simple and inexpensive, but waiting to get the problem resolved can result in high-cost engine repairs. If the low coolant warning light continues to flash on after coolant levels are fixed, then there is a leak in the car's cooling system. Coolant fluid can leak from several places, including radiator hoses, connections between hoses, or from the radiator itself. Your car's radiator cap may leak due to a faulty seal on the cap which can be easily resolved by a specialist at our shop in Sacramento.

How do I fix a persistent traction control warning light?

Normally when the traction control light comes on, it indicates the car's traction control lost grip or traction going around a sharp curve or while driving on wet pavement. However, sometimes the traction control warning light will come on and stay on. The best way to determine whether it was just a fluke or a real issue is to shut your vehicle off and turn it back on. If the light is off, then it was likely a temporary malfunction. If the light does not reset, come by University Automotive in Sacramento and let us fix it.

What are the main problems that cause a throttle control warning light to come on?

The five main issues are:

  • Irregular or dangerous unintended acceleration

  • Intermittent loss of throttle control

  • Sudden drop in fuel economy

  • Hesitation or stumbling when accelerating

  • Engine stuck and unable to accelerate beyond a fast idle

Why is my throttle control warning light on?

The connection between the gas pedal and acceleration is controlled by your car's throttle. The amount of acceleration or throttle control is governed by a sophisticated computer system. Any disruption of the electrical signals will affect your vehicle's acceleration and cause the throttle control warning light to come on. If your throttle control light comes on, go directly to University Automotive in Sacramento.

Can I drive with the throttle control light on?

No, unwanted acceleration may occur and cause an accident. Go straight to the repair shop. There can be many different causes for the throttle control warning light, and many are simple fixes.
