Ram 1500 Dashboard Light Guide
Are you a driver of a Ram 1500? Because we’re dedicated to making sure drivers in Tunkhannock, Dallas, Harveys Lake, and Kingston, Pennsylvania, are fully prepared for any surprises while on the road, Tunkhannock Auto Mart has drawn up the following Ram 1500 dashboard light guide. Read through it to become familiar with some of the important symbols you have in front of you in terms of what they look like, what they mean, and what you need to do when they turn on.
Brake Warning Light
The Brake Warning Light is red and uses the word “BRAKE” in all capital letters to bring your attention to several things. These are listed for you below:
- Low brake fluid level
- Parking brake is on
- A problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir
- Brake Booster issue
- Hydraulic system malfunction
Is the light staying on after the parking brake has been disengaged? Is the master cylinder reservoir indicating that the fluid level isn’t where it should be? If so, you will want to visit a certified technician to have the issue addressed as soon as possible.
Battery Charge Warning Light
This one is red as well and looks like your average car battery. When the Battery Charge Warning Light is on, there could be a malfunction with the charging system. Be sure to have the system checked out by an automotive technician right away.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light is there to let you know that one of your tires may be low on air. Be sure to pull over and fill the tire or tires to the recommended level in order to continue to get the most out of them in terms of safety as well as performance. This yellow light is easy to recognize since it resembles a partially deflated tire and has an exclamation point inside of it.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Warning Light
If you see a yellow light that uses the image of an engine block, you’ll know that it’s the Engine Check/ Malfunction Indicator Warning Light trying to get your attention. There are several conditions that will cause this light to become illuminated. For example, the gas cap could be loose or missing or there could be something wrong with the engine or the automatic transmission control systems.
