Question

Answer
Dawn: The computer in your car has picked up a problem in the system and it picked the light on. You need to have the car coded, that would be hooking your car's computer up to another computer and then it would send a print out as to the problem with the car. Because it could be anything. So you need to find a shop that could code your car and see what is going on. You could on your own, check the air filter, coolent level, brake fliud; I am not saying any of these will fix the problem but still one of those might be low and that is what the light is about. Or it could be a sensor. If the light go off when you turned the corner sounds like your car might be low on coolant(water) I would check that. Hope this helps and God bless: Linda
