Service Lights

When an individual shops for a used car, the test drive is an important part of the buying process. In addition to learning whether he or she likes the way the vehicle drives, it gives the potential buyer a chance to look out for any problems the vehicle may have. One of the easiest problems to identify is illuminated service lights.

What Service Lights Mean

Service lights are significant because they may point out mechanical problems or defects in an automobile. Usually, these lights are located near the speedometer where the driver can easily see them. Usually, these lights warn drivers of things such as:

• Engine trouble
• The need for an oil change
• Low tire pressure
• Electrical problems
• Low fuel

In some cases, service lights may warn of something minor. Things such as oil changes or tire inflations can be accomplished quickly by the used car dealer. More serious problems such as engine trouble, though, may warn a driver that he or she should look for a different car.
