Plain language is fine

This free tool uses an offline generic-code and safety library. Signal provides triage, not a diagnosis. If the vehicle feels unsafe, stop somewhere safe and seek professional assistance.

Quick warning-light guide

Some signals should not wait for AI.

These are general safety prompts. Your handbook and a qualified inspection remain the authority for the exact vehicle.

OILSTOP

Oil pressure

If it remains on with the engine running, stop safely and switch off.

TEMPSTOP

Coolant temperature

Stop safely if the vehicle is overheating, steaming or losing coolant.

BRAKESTOP

Brake system

Stop if braking has changed, fluid appears low or the warning remains red.

MILCHECK

Engine warning

A flashing light with poor running needs urgent attention; steady usually needs prompt diagnosis.

ABSPROMPT

ABS

Normal braking may remain, but anti-lock assistance can be unavailable.

BATTPROMPT

Charging system

The battery may not be charging and the vehicle can lose electrical power.
