Lewis Jopson Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ford Owners Every now and then this red cog with an exclamation mark lights up on the dashboard when i turn on the engine and then stays on until engine is turned off, but then the next time i start it there is no light. This light never turns on when the car is running always on initial start up. I believe the light is supposed to be engine systems or powertrain failure but there is no loss of power and the car seems to be working fine but i am wondering if it is a bad idea to ignore this as i have a 200 mile journey next weekend.

IINexusII Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 the LX model does not have a warning light so its displayed with a cog ! on the clocks. you need to plug in a code reader and see what the code is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It could be anything from a sensor to a wiring fault, but I would agree - get a code reader! click on "my guides" in my signature as I did a writeup on the best code readers to use, full detail - if you get them delivered quick you can diagnose and either repair yourself in preperation, or decide to call on a garage, otherwise you will be paying diagnostic fees straight away.
