Engine Stop
These are Engine Stop Indicator symbols. They indicate a serious engine issue that requires the engine be shut down. This could be an overheat problem, a lack of oil pressure, a loss of electrical power, or any number of serious emission control issues.
- Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Text Symbols page and scan again!
The word STOP alone would be seen in red. The same word seen inside the engine symbol is seen in yellow/amber. Likely as not an additional warning light will be seen. Likely candidates are an oil warning, temperature warning or charge warning. Click the links for more. In any case, servicing will be needed from a qualified service shop.
