The check with an exclamation mark is flashing: gazelle next
Guys, you can laugh at me, but tell me about the GAZelle!))) Gazelle business 2020, with GLONASS ERA Mileage 50,000 km Rear-wheel drive Evotek petrol engine, if I remember correctly, 106 hp.
ECU Mikas 12, electronic throttle. She has THREE engine checks on her dashboard (!) One normal one in the center. And at the top left there are two more, red and yellow, but with exclamation marks inside. Question - why are those on the side and how to understand what they want from me? Today the yellow light with the wax sign inside is on, I read the ECU errors - there are no errors, not a single one at all. And the icon is lit. Sometimes it goes out, sometimes it lights up again. What nonsense?
The driver is worried, what if something serious happens?
At the same time, the engine starts with half a click. There are no complaints about the engine's performance.

, There is fuel in the tank. The book says something like this: a mid-grade star. No specifics. Something is broken with you. It is not stated what was broken. In the Launch diagnostics, no errors were found, the engine is running normally. The indicator is constantly on, without blinking.
This means that the device does not fit our car, it does not fit. Otherwise, you would see at least some parameters above or below the norm. Grenades, as Semyon (White Sun of the Desert) said, they have the wrong system.
perhaps Scanmatik-2 would have said something.
Those. Maybe the scanner just doesn’t see the existing error? At the same time, MIKAS 12 ET is clearly written in the scanner, it connects without any questions.
With this approach to work, you will spend years repairing what others do in a few minutes, and God bless you.
WHAT SCANNER? Kind of like a scandock. Write letters to the scanner manufacturers, let them have a headache. Although they gave up on comnx a long time ago, they removed the shavings from the suckers and are smiling.
Three checks are tough, of course, if all three light up at once, apparently the catapult will work and the pilot will be thrown out with a parachute before self-destruction)) I discovered something new for myself, fortunately these buckets don’t come to me Laughing is not the right word
Here's who should be repairing this car: Youtube Video
Three checks were invented for the kazels: red, yellow and green. There is also a black one if you bite off the wiring to the light bulb..
It’s not the car’s fault, but those people who climb into it without a clue. There is no equipment - move away and don’t shine, give it to someone who can really do something. Sometimes a person with a light bulb and a tester finds a mistake faster than another with a scanner and no brains.

, Explain the hell out of the three Jack Chans, and as I understand it, there are no explanations for this in the usual manual, this is even cooler than our “brand of bastards” oh, sorry Slavutas)), with an ever-burning Jackie Chan))
You understand who could have invented this car? Sorry, don’t make it up, but copy everything you made up. But if their hands are on their assholes, then this is real. Have you all seen Lanos with Jonix, but on gas Jonix -2? Here is a kazel from the same series. A check with an exclamation mark could also be sharpened for attention, the fluid level has dropped or to the brakes, for example, a drop in pressure in the circuit. For such cars at the Geneva Motor Show they give first place in the shit car category)))))))))
Couldn't have said it better.
Hello to all colleagues, Launch can never diagnose this block, there is a lot of information everywhere on how to diagnose these blocks yourself and prepare the tools yourself
Imagine the Chinese who send protocols from all blocks, but they don’t know such a brand as Kazel. They don’t care about this crap, just like no one in Ukraine cares about Jonix. Scanmatic, in my opinion, agreed and they sent him information on jonx, like an error, rub it and see it. (the leader) of the scam _skandok could not and could not and will not see him
Gentlemen, let's remember that when assembling (anything) “everything goes hand in hand.” “- as a rule, nothing good comes of it, at least right away.. Especially from the Chinese or from their parts, so almost everything they have is “their own” (even the license) - “requires modification with a file.” Well, there is such a thing, almost all manufacturers, minimum - a couple of years, for current models - only dealer service (there is no current information in the public domain). Moreover, even the “relatives”: GAZ - UAZ have incompatibility (software differences) between the internal combustion engine ECU and the instrument panel. Those. direct exchange of “same organs” is not simple.
Signal indicators of the GAZelle Next instrument cluster.

Location of alarms.
1.
Indicator light (orange) for particulate filter clogging .
Informs the driver about the status of the particulate filter.
2.
Warning lamp (orange) for high exhaust system temperature .
Informs the driver that the particulate filter is clogged.
3.
Warning light (orange) for low coolant level.
When the warning light comes on, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the coolant leak and bring the level in the expansion tank of the engine cooling system to normal.
4. Indicator (red) of critical engine malfunction.
Lights up briefly when the instruments (ignition) are turned on. If there are no malfunctions, it lights up when the devices (ignition) are turned on and lights continuously for 2-5 seconds, then goes out.
When lit continuously, it informs the driver about the presence of a critical malfunction (engine overheating, drop in oil pressure, gas pedal failure, critical malfunction of the electronic unit) in which case it is necessary to immediately stop driving and stop the engine.
5. MIL indicator (orange).
Lights up briefly when the instruments (ignition) are turned on. Informs the driver about malfunctions recorded by the on-board diagnostic system related to exhaust gas and particulate emissions.
If the indicator lights up continuously, it is necessary to diagnose the engine control system at a maintenance facility.
After the malfunction is eliminated, the indicator remains on for four engine starting cycles, then goes out.
6. Indicator (orange) “Attention” of the engine control system.
The exclamation mark on the instrument panel lights up. What to do if the lamp (!) comes on
Hi all! Today I want to raise a rather current topic that, judging by the questions on the forums and the number of requests in search engines, worries a large number of people. I want to talk about a phenomenon where when you press the brake pedal, an exclamation mark on the dashboard lights up.
I will try to give a comprehensive answer to this question and explain why this happens and what kind of damage may be involved. Go!
Let me start, perhaps, with the fact that if a lamp (!) lights up on the panel, it means something is wrong with the brake system. As a rule, this indicator signals a low level of brake fluid (BF) in the system. As you can imagine, faulty brakes are no joke and the problem needs to be addressed. I’ll say more, if anyone doesn’t know, OPERATING A CAR WITH A BURNING INDICATOR (!) IS PROHIBITED! Since you don’t know what’s wrong and what caused this error to appear on the dashboard.
Why does the Peugeot 308 engine stall when cold and the fan turn on, sometimes the check light comes on
Unstable operation of Franco-German EP6 gasoline engines, which are installed on the Peugeot 308, is a fairly common occurrence. The engine starts to stall when cold, the fan turns on, the check light comes on, in a word, it’s not very pleasant. There are plenty of reasons for this behavior of the motor; we just have to consider them and try to find a solution to restore performance.
What to do if the lamp comes on?
- The first thing you need to do is check the fuel fluid level. This is done simply and without any difficulties. Open the hood and look at the level, it should be between o and “MAX”. The level must be monitored constantly; for those who forget to do this, there is an exclamation mark. It lights up based on a signal from the sensor, which signals when the fuel level is below the permissible level.
By the way! There are often cases when the light comes on when driving over uneven surfaces and goes out as soon as the car drives onto a more or less level road. This happens precisely for the reason that the level of “brake fluid” is close to o and when the car is rocking, the sensor detects a low level and signals this to the instrument panel.
- If everything is in order with the brake fluid level, you need to check the fuel injection system, which is located in the brake fluid tank. I'll tell you how to do this now.
2.1. Turn on the ignition and make sure that the exclamation mark lamp comes on, that is, the indicator of insufficient fuel level. It should light up and go out if the level is normal and the sensor is working.
2.2. We turn off the power from the sensor and look at the lamp; if it goes out, most likely there is a problem with the sensor. Check the sensor, sometimes the problem is that the float fails and sinks to the bottom even though the fuel fluid level is fine.
2.3. If, after turning off the power from the sensor, the exclamation mark on the panel continues to light, most likely the problem is in the wiring, and the sensor itself is working. Perhaps the reason is a short circuit in the wiring, or something else, but one way or another the problem will be associated with a faulty wiring and a violation of its integrity.
If everything is fine with your fuel oil level sensor, but you want to check its operation, this is done quite simply
2.4. We press the rubber seal on the tank lid, so you lower the sensor float to the bottom, and in working sensors an exclamation mark on the panel lights up.
2.5. If the indicator does not light up, take a small piece of copper wire and turn off the power from the brake fluid level sensor. The prepared wire must be used to close the power contacts of the sensor, that is, the contacts on the wiring that is supplied to the sensor, and not the contacts of the sensor itself. With such a short circuit, a corresponding signal about low brake fluid level should appear on the panel. If this does not happen, most likely the sensor is working, and the problem is faulty wiring.
If the brake fluid level sensor is faulty, replace it; if the problem is in the float of this sensor, you can try to repair it; if the wiring is faulty, replace it or seek help from an experienced auto electrician.
The check engine light came on
Perhaps it's a matter of high-voltage wires? Sometimes it happens.
Tip: Follow and follow the instructions exactly.
Fill the pan with liquid. You can use an ordinary saucepan. Definitely made of stainless steel. Add a little salt. 1 tablespoon will be enough. Take a megohmmeter with the wires dipped in water. The ends should be on the surface.
We connect the device to 1 tip. Secure with a clamp. Place the 2nd clamp on the container where the wires are left on the surface of the water. If the resistance shows more than 1 megohm, the insulation is in good condition. In some cases, a value of at least 500 kOhm is allowed. If the indicators are below the critical level, replacement of the wires is required.
Explanation of icons on the dashboard
Red icons
they indicate danger, and if any symbol lights up in this color, you should pay attention to the signal from the on-board computer in order to take measures to quickly resolve the malfunction. Sometimes they are not so critical, and it is possible to continue driving the car when such an icon on the panel is on, but sometimes it is not worth it.
Yellow indicators
warn of a malfunction or the need to take some action to drive the car or service it.
Green indicator lights
inform about the vehicle’s service functions and their activity.
Let's present a list of the most frequently asked questions and an explanation of what the burning icon on the panel means:
Information icons
Car icon
The lights may vary, sometimes the “car with a wrench” icon, the “car with a lock” icon, or an exclamation mark are on. About all these notations in order:
When this indicator is on ( car with key
), then it informs about malfunctions in the engine (often a malfunction of some sensor) or the electronic part of the transmission. To find out the exact cause, you will need to perform diagnostics.
A red car with a lock caught fire
, this means that problems have arisen in the operation of the standard anti-theft system and it will be impossible to start the car, but if this icon blinks when the car is locked, then everything is normal - the car is locked.
Yellow car indicator with exclamation mark
notifies the driver of a car with a hybrid engine about a malfunction of the electric drive. Resetting the error by disconnecting the battery terminal will not solve the problem - diagnostics are needed.
Open door icon
Everyone is used to seeing it on when a door or trunk lid is open, but if all the doors are closed and the light on one or four doors continues to shine, then often the problem should be looked for in the door end switches (wire contacts).
Slippery road icon
begins to flash when the vehicle stability control system detects a section of a slippery road and is activated to prevent slipping by reducing engine power and braking the slipping wheel. There is no need to worry in such a situation. But when a key, a triangle, or a crossed out skid icon appears near such an indicator, the stabilization system is faulty.
Wrench icon
pops up on the display when it’s time to perform vehicle maintenance. It is an information indicator and is reset after maintenance.
Warning icons on the panel
steering wheel icon
Can light up in two colors. If the yellow steering wheel is on, then adaptation is required, and when a red image of the steering wheel with an exclamation mark appears, you should already be concerned about the failure of the power steering or power steering system. When the red steering wheel lights up, your steering wheel will probably become very difficult to turn.
Immobilizer icon
, as a rule, blinks if the car is closed; in this case, the indicator of a red car with a white key signals the operation of the anti-theft system. But there are 3 main reasons if the immo light is constantly on: the immobilizer is not activated, if the tag on the key is not read or the anti-theft system is faulty.
Handbrake icon
lights up not only when the handbrake lever is activated (raised), but also in cases when the brake pads are worn out or the brake fluid needs to be topped up/replaced. On a car with an electronic handbrake, the parking brake light may come on due to a glitch in the limit switch or sensor.
Coolant icon
has several options and depending on which one is on, draw conclusions about the problem accordingly. One red lamp with a thermometer scale indicates an increased temperature in the engine cooling system, but a yellow expansion tank with waves indicates a low coolant level in the system. But it is worth considering that the coolant lamp does not always light up at a low level; perhaps there is simply a glitch in the sensor or float in the expansion tank.
Why does the fan turn on when the engine in a Peugeot 308 is running?
Check all possible causes.
Constantly turning on the fan, regardless of the temperature of the coolant in the system, is a sign of almost any problem in the engine.
Even with one spark plug not working, the fan will blow at maximum speed and this is quite normal in this case. If several more problems are associated with the fan, then it is possible to localize or at least suggest the cause of the malfunction.
Here are the main reasons for motor vibration (troits and intermittent operation):
- one of the spark plugs is not working;
- one of the ignition coils does not work;
- misfires in one specific or several cylinders;
- air leakage into the combustion chamber;
- failure of the catalyst, incorrect removal of the catalyst without updating the ECU firmware;
- incorrect operation of the gas distribution mechanism;
- poor quality fuel.
Perhaps these are the main reasons for this behavior of the motor, and they will have to be considered individually.
Trouble the engine: check the spark plugs and coils
Naturally, when this bunch of malfunctions appears, the best thing to do is to get to the diagnostic center. There, an accurate check will be carried out on diagnostic equipment and errors will be identified (decoding). However, at the initial stage, you can carry out diagnostics yourself, based on the readings of the on-board computer, and sometimes without them.
The most common cause of an unstable cylinder is a failed coil, spark plug or injector.
Which cylinder is tripping (cold check)
Let's find out which cylinder does not idle when cold:
- Open the hood and remove the plastic cylinder head cover.
Let's assume we have found out the number of the non-working cylinder.
Performance of spark plugs and coils
Old spark plugs are one possible cause.
Now it remains to check the performance of the coil and spark plug.
We swap the supposedly non-working coil with the working one and start the engine at idle. By removing the signal wires from these coils one by one, we find out whether the assumptions about the non-working coil are confirmed - if a healthy cylinder stops working, the coil is to blame. If the non-working cylinder continues to be silent, the spark plug is to blame. Conclusion - we replace the ignition coil and, if possible, the spark plugs in the cylinders.
Attention: when replacing spark plugs, under no circumstances should you throw the new spark plug into the well, otherwise there is a danger of damaging the gap between the electrodes, and then the new spark plug may not work. It is carefully lowered into the well and tightened strictly according to the thread with a special key.
If at this stage it was not possible to find a malfunction, we move on to more radical measures.
Reporting a malfunction
Battery icon
lights up if the voltage in the on-board network drops; often this problem is associated with a lack of battery charge from the generator, so it can also be called the “generator icon”. On vehicles with a hybrid engine, this indicator is supplemented by the inscription “MAIN” at the bottom.
Butter icon
, also known as a red oil can, indicates a drop in the oil level in the car engine. This icon lights up when you start the engine, and does not go out after a few seconds or may light up while driving. This fact indicates problems in the lubrication system or a drop in oil level or pressure. The oil icon on the panel may have a droplet or waves at the bottom; on some cars the indicator is supplemented with the inscription min, senso, oil level (yellow inscriptions) or simply the letters L and H (characterizing low and high oil levels).
Pillow icon
can light up in several ways: both the red inscription SRS and AIRBAG, and “red man wearing a seat belt”, and a circle in front of him. When one of these airbag icons lights up on the panel, the on-board computer notifies you of a malfunction in the passive safety system, and in the event of an accident, the airbags will not deploy. Read the article on the website for the reasons why the airbag sign lights up and how to fix the problem.
Exclamation mark icon
may look different and its meanings will accordingly also be different. So, for example, when the red (!) light is on in the circle, this indicates a malfunction of the brake system and it is advisable not to continue driving until the cause of its occurrence is determined. They can be very different: the handbrake is up, the brake pads are worn out, or the brake fluid level has dropped. A low level is precisely what poses a danger, because the reason may not only be in heavily worn pads, as a result of which, when you press the pedal, the fluid disperses throughout the system, and the float gives a signal about a low level, the brake hose may be damaged somewhere, and this is much more serious. Although, very often the exclamation mark lights up if the float (level sensor) is faulty or shorted, and then it simply lies. On some cars, the exclamation mark is accompanied by the words “BRAKE”, but this does not change the essence of the problem.
An exclamation mark can also light up in the form of an “attention” sign, both on a red and yellow background. When the yellow “attention” sign lights up, it informs about a malfunction in the electronic stabilization system, and if it is on a red background, it simply warns the driver about something, and, as a rule, explanatory text is displayed on the dashboard display or combined with other informative text designation.
ABS icon
may have several display options on the dashboard, but regardless of this, it means the same thing on all cars - a problem has occurred in the ABS system, and that the anti-lock wheel system is not working at the moment. You can find out the reasons why ABS does not work in our article. In this case, movement can be made, but there is no need to rely on the ABS to activate; the brakes will operate as usual.
ESP icon
It can either light up periodically or light up constantly. A light with this inscription indicates problems with the stabilization system. The Electronic Stability Program indicator, as a rule, lights up for one of two reasons - either the rotation angle sensor has failed, or the brake light sensor (aka “frog”) has died for a long time. Although, there can be a more serious problem, for example, the brake system pressure sensor is covered.
Engine icon
, some drivers may call it the “injector icon” or check, it may light up yellow when the engine is running. It informs about the presence of engine errors and malfunctions of its electronic systems. To determine the reason for its appearance on the dashboard display, self-diagnosis or computer diagnostics are performed.
Glow plug icon
may light up on the dashboard of a diesel car, the meaning of such an indicator is exactly the same as the “check” icon on gasoline cars. When there are no errors in the electronic unit’s memory, the spiral icon should go out after the engine warms up and the glow plugs are turned off. Read how to check glow plugs here.
This material is informative for most car owners. And although absolutely all possible icons of all existing cars are not presented here, you will be able to independently understand the main symbols of the car’s dashboard, and will not sound the alarm when you see that the icon on the panel is on again.
Identifying the causes of a Peugeot 308 malfunction while idling - Automaster
02.04.2019
Hello, Alexey. The problem of engine stalling is quite common, we will try to give you practical recommendations on how to solve this problem.
Why does the car stall?
As a rule, the car stalls at idle if there are any problems with the ignition. This may be a malfunction of the coil, spark plugs, high-voltage wires, distributor cap, slider or coal. This means taking the time to diagnose all of these components.
White Peugeot 308 car
However, you noticed that your engine has a too lean mixture. We suspect that this is the reason. What could be the reason for the low enrichment of the mixture?
There may be several reasons:
- The most common cause is dirt. Debris can clog not only filters, but also nozzles. Because of this, although fuel gets into the engine, it does not fully, and accordingly, the car will periodically stall.
- The second reason is the presence of dirt in the air flow regulator; this problem also occurs quite often, so we advise you to pay attention to this.
- Third-party air leak. If a crack or hole appears in any pipe connected to the intake manifold, the suction will be incomplete. In addition, the pipe may, in principle, become depressurized, or the clamps may simply not be tightened properly. In addition, air may enter the intake manifold if the EGR valve is not closed tightly. It is necessary to check the tightness of the collectors, as well as all pipes and hoses.
- Vacuum leak that needs to be repaired very quickly.
- The EGR pressure regulator has failed. Diagnose it and replace it if necessary.
- The fuel pump has failed or the filter element is clogged. If the fuel pump does not work correctly, that is, not at full strength, then the car will behave exactly as in your case. If the pump fails, you will no longer be able to start the engine. But if it does not work correctly or the filter is partially clogged, then everything will be exactly the same as yours. Carry out diagnostics and, if necessary, replace elements.
- The oxygen flow or air flow regulator has failed. The functionality of these components must be checked.
