Engine Start-Stop Indicator Symbols

Engine Start-Stop

These are Engine Start-Stop Indicator symbols. The abbreviations actually stand for Engine (ENG Auto Stop (A-STOP)). Green indicates that the engine has been shut off, while the light in yellow/amber indicates a malfunction in the system. The engine remains running and the vehicle can be driven.

  • Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.
  • Otherwise you can return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!

Developed for hybrid vehicles, Start-Stop systems are now in use in vehicles with gas engines as a fuel saving measure. The engine is shut down at stop lights, etc., and re-started automatically when the gas pedal in depressed.

Remember that only proper service and repair procedures will ensure the safe and reliable operation of your car. In addition, proper safety procedures and precautions, such as the  use of safety goggles, the right tools and the equipment should be followed at all times to eliminate the possibility of personal injury or improper service which could damage the vehicle or compromise its safety.

These posts are for information sharing purposes only, and should not be used in lieu of an OEM service manual or factory authorized service procedure. We are not in the auto repair business nor do we publish automotive service manuals. Nothing we include on these pages and posts has been reviewed, approved or authorized by any vehicle manufacturer.

Technology is always changing and what is current and accurate today may be literally out-of-date and inaccurate tomorrow. And when it comes to the current state of flux in the auto industry, nothing is more true.
