Need A Primer on Your Jeep® Vehicle’s Warning Lights? Hillview Motors is Here to Help

If you own a Jeep® SUV, memorizing the meaning of Jeep warning lights is a tall order. But have no fear – Hillview Motors is here to help with this handy guide to understanding some of your automobile’s most important warning lights.

Check Engine

The check engine light comes on when your Jeep SUV’s on-board diagnostic system detects a problem with the engine, emission system, or transmission. Common problems that cause this light to come on include a loose gas cap, bad oxygen sensor, and dirty mass air flow sensor. Our service team and Jeep parts center can help out with this.

Air Bag Warning

It’s common for the airbag light to illuminate when you first turn on the ignition and then darken again if the airbag system is functioning properly. If the light stays on, it means the airbags have been disabled and may not deploy in case of an accident.

Engine Temperature

This is one of the most common reasons to visit Hillview Motors for service. When the engine temperature light comes on, it means the engine has overheated. Common causes include low coolant level, a bad water pump, and broken coolant hoses.

Tire Pressure Monitor

This light indicates low tire pressure in one or more of the tires on your Jeep Cherokee or Jeep Compass. If the light remains on after you add air, it could mean that the TPMS system is faulty.

Battery System

The battery light warns of a problem with your car’s charging system. This could be due to a faulty alternator, a defective voltage regulator, or even a bad battery.

In the worst-case scenario, when the battery light comes on the vehicle may shut off when driving – so is this is an issue you’ll need to address right away at our nearby Jeep showroom.
