There are many drivers that have no idea what each of the warning light icons actually mean. You are minding your own business, driving along and "DING", a little light suddenly lights up on your dashboard. Do you know what the icon stands for, and if you do, do you know what possible issues it could be indicating? Instead of playing a guessing game with your car's safety, it's important to have your car checked and diagnosed for any issues that your dashboard light is warning you about. ## The Cost of Dashboard Lights Dashboard lights help to alert the driver that the car's ECU (Engine Control Unit) or ABS (Antilock Brake System) module recognizes a problem with one or more parts of your vehicle. Similar to the when the gas light alerts a driver when the tank is low, these other dashboard lights are designed to help you maintain your vehicle to the best of your ability for a safe driving environment. Unfortunately, many dealerships will charge high prices and labor costs just to have your car diagnosed, plus additional fees for the actual repairs needed to address the problem. To avoid high dealership costs, turn to the expert auto technicians at [UpFix](https://www.upfix.com). ## Dashboard Light Diagnosis at UpFix If your dashboard is suddenly showing a light that you don't understand, take these simple steps to receive expert car problem diagnosis: - **Check Your Owner's Manual** - Every car owner's manual should show the error messages for your vehicle, or some simply show what each dashboard light means.
