Multiple Dash Lights Coming On With Check Engine Light-Easy Diagnosis

  • Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
  • In this video, I tell you about multiple dashboard lights coming on at the same time. This is something that you will see happening in many modern cars, and I wanted to talk about it in this video. The specific reason that this happens is because all of the car's systems work together. If one fails, then the other systems don't have the required information to work properly, so they fail as well. The good thing about this is that when you fix the main problematic system, you will likely fix the other ones as well.

    My 2017 MDX had all the warning lights come on as well. Couple days ago low tire pressure lights came on the driver side front and rear tires. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the passenger side and only filled pressure on driver side tires. About 3 days later, all the warning lights came on. I was pissed and started researching online. Came across this video because I didn’t think it was the initial low tire pressure that caused the warnings. After filling the passenger side tire pressure (which was at 29) and making sure all 4 tires were 35. I turned the car on and off couple of times and most of the warnings went away. Collision mitigation remained so I went for a short drive and that cleared as well!! I’m so happy it wasn’t a costly repair.

    It’s called the controller area network or CAN for short. All the control units in a modern vehicle communicate on the system back-and-forth between each other. When there’s a problem with one, often times it can trigger a universal code in the system and cause multiple warning lights to come on.

  • @JohnAldenXI
    @JohnAldenXI 2 года назад +8

    Takes 4 minutes to say that one problem may cause mutiple warning lights to come on with no indication as to why. If you fix the one problem the lights will go away but unfortunately there is no way given to tell which is the source problem. Don't waste your time on this,

    Driving my 2014 Lincoln MKZ in Michigan (Canadian here) and suddenly my dashboard lit up like Queen Victoria Day! (Fireworks)
    I called two Ford service centres in Michigan (Dundee & Monroe) and NEITHER said they could see nor assist me! The kicker was talking to the Ford Dealership/Service Centre in Dundee and the man on the phone said "as long as your red brake lights aren't on you're okay" .. when I replied that the RED BRAKE lights WERE ON, he went quiet and replied "sorry we still can't see you!"
    I realise the Ford service centres had previous appointments but, being from another country ALL I WANTED was for someone to tell me that the car was SAFE to drive back home to Canada (1hr ride north).
    Ultimately, I took the chance and drove home and did make it back to Canada with every dashboard warning alight ..... I am so angry at the Ford Motor Company that I will NEVER buy another Ford vehicle again (and at 43 yrs old I have ONLY ever driven Lincoln/Ford). NO MORE.
    All I wanted was for a serviceman to check my car and tell me to either abandon it and get a rental or drive it home, and they couldn't spare the time. Back in 2014 I spent $65k on my MKZ & today I feel that the Ford Motor Company could give a crap if I lived or died and they will NEVER see another PENNY from me!
    Tomorrow is Saturday and I left a message at Performance Ford in Windsor, ON. If I fail to hear from them by Monday, I will be EXTRA disappointed. How can a car company as widespread as Ford not have an emergency centre for situations like mine? Maddness!

    Have a question, the car was on the drive, but the dashboard lights were showing up, so that, made the car stop immediately. The sign then said to move from the P position to the D (drive position) which I did, but did not start it. Could it be the engine was fully not ready or did I have to restart the car? Just making sure that this doesn't happen on the driving test...

    Hi,
    I recently bought a BMW 320i XDrive manual car from auction and notice there are 4 warning lights on the dashboard:
    1. Engine light
    2. Traction
    3. ABS
    4. Brake lights
    Got it diagnosed by someone, who told me the transfer box is damaged. The guy who diagnosed the car remotely mentioned that i can get it programmed to be set as a RWD, which will solve all the problems. Any one has had similar issues? If yes, how did you manage to resolve it. Kindly advise.
