Engine Start System Fault Indicator

Engine Start

These are Engine Start System Fault Indicator symbols. They can appear in yellow/amber or red and indicate a fault in the electronics. If it is red, it is suggested that the engine NOT be switched off, if its running, and a service center be contacted and headed for immediately. If it is amber, a service facility should still be contacted as soon as possible.

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

And there’s still more …

The symbols appear as a physical key with or without its associated keyhole, even though an actual physical key is not used. We included it with routine indicators because, as electronics takes over everything, these symbols will indeed become routine due to any problems with starters, start/stop systems and other associated electronics.

Do not confuse these with other automotive trouble symbols that make use of the image a key. Click here or here, right to left, for more information.
