Ummmmmmmmm...

red outline? Hand brake? :D


Check light is there to let you know that the ECU has logged a fault code, which means something dodgy happened or is happening with your engine.
There's a way to get the "codes" back... search here for "ecu codes".

If it is in fact the check light. :P

if it was the red engine check light, it means something serious like no oil pressure etc. and that you should stop the engine immediately, or it will most likely fu'k out on you


if it was orange it means there is a fault there, not as serious, ie drive to the garage

Should he still check the codes though guys?

Most of my friends check lights have come on for emissions related shit.
