Why does the exclamation mark on the panel light up?
Hello everyone! Today I want to raise a rather relevant topic, which, judging by the questions on the forums and the number of requests in search engines, worries a large number of people. I want to talk about this phenomenon, when an exclamation mark lights up on the panel when you press the brake pedal.
I will try to give a comprehensive answer to this question and explain why this happens and what failures can be associated with this.
To begin with, if a light (!) lights up on the panel, then something is wrong with the brake system. Usually this indicator indicates a low level of brake fluid (TF) in the system. As you understand, faulty brakes are no joke, and the problem needs to be fixed. I will say more, if anyone does not know, IT IS FORBIDDEN TO USE A CAR WITH INDICATOR (!)! Because you don’t know what the problem is and what caused this error to appear on the toolbar.
Error from 241301. Electricians said to change the EUR, changed nothing changed. I can’t get to the officers, only after 2 days. I didn’t find my problem on the internet.

what exactly was changed and why? the car is under warranty for sure

The steering wheel icon is on!
“Hydro / electric power steering malfunction, there may be problems with turning the steering wheel, tight steering”
Network Tips:
“The steering wheel electric motor is defective or disconnected due to a voltage drop in the network.
Check the voltage in the network and whether the generator is working.
“Check the voltage of the on-board network, then check the power steering fuse in the passenger compartment and under the hood, then diagnose with the original scanner, read the errors and run a series of checks on them (the scanner will suggest further steps)”
If the car is under warranty, then you need to go to the OD.
Changed the EUR assembly from parsing, 90 thousand kilometers was last in maintenance. They said they took the car out of warranty.

changed nothing changed
This error is registered when the current in the EUR motor circuit increases. The current may increase due to poor contact somewhere in the connectors or in the wiring, or it has actually become harder for the motor to turn for some reason. Have you, by chance, been in any kind of accident, or maybe some work was done with the steering rack, with the steering column?

have no right to rent the whole car!
The impact was on the rear left fender, did nothing else on the car. Today I will go to OD
it is necessary to reset the rudder position sensor

Due to poor contact, the current does not increase, but, on the contrary, decreases. Because bad contact = more resistance.
Message from Andrey Victorovich
does not increase, but rather decreases
And what does the electronics do when the current drops on the motor? That’s right – it increases it, and therefore it increases.

Good evening! Maybe someone has or knows. Usually in the morning or when the food lights up esp, check, electric booster and it does not work, tire inflation. In the morning, when it lights up, it will not switch to mode d. It burns for about 10-15 seconds, then disappears, it remains to burn esp. It burns more. Very uncomfortable at speed. Check shows no content between blocks. I changed the candles, sprayed all the connections, after that for two months everything worked clearly, in the winter too. And now it’s starting to get boring. What to do.

Is the rear view camera standard? Once in practice, a similar problem was true on the crete, moisture got inside the camera, closed the CAN bus, all the symptoms were similar. I understand that you also have a problem in some block, or in the wiring. It is better to contact an intelligent electrician.

What you describe is called “electrician horror”. One of the blocks on the CAN bus is buggy and closes the bus. Diagnostics goes on the same bus, so it helps little. Either it is not there at all, or there is an error in CAN communication in all blocks. You need to look for a block in which there is NO error on the bus. Moreover, the motor block has nothing to do with it, if the motor does not stall. The most likely candidate, an electric amplifier. Can be disconnected for testing. The box should work.
What should I do if the lamp lights up?
Speaking of which! The signal lamp often lights up when driving over bumps and goes out as soon as the car starts off on a more or less level road. This happens precisely because the “brake” level is close to the “MIN” mark and while the car is rocking, the sensor detects a low level and signals this to the dashboard.
2.1. Turn the ignition on and check that the exclamation mark is on, that is, the TJ low level indicator. It should turn on and off if the level is normal and the sensor is working properly.
2.2. We turn off the power from the sensor and look at the lamp, if it goes out, then most likely there is a problem with the sensor. Check the sensor, sometimes the problem is that the float breaks and sinks to the bottom, even if the TJ level is fine.
2.3. If after turning off the power from the sensor, the exclamation mark on the panel continues to burn, most likely the problem is in the wiring and the sensor itself is working. Perhaps the reason is a short circuit in the wiring or something else, but one way or another, the problem will be related to a wiring malfunction and a violation of its integrity.
If you’re okay with your TG level sensor, but want to test it out, just do it
2.4. We press the rubber gasket on the tank lid to lower the sensor float down, while the exclamation mark on the panel lights up on serviceable sensors.
2.5. If the light does not come on, take a small piece of copper wire and disconnect power from the brake fluid level sensor. With the prepared wire, it is necessary to close the power contacts of the sensor, that is, the contacts on the wiring connected to the sensor, and not the contacts of the sensor itself. With such a short circuit, a signal should appear on the panel corresponding to a low level of brake fluid. If this does not happen, most likely the sensor is working and the problem is faulty wiring.
If the brake fluid level sensor is faulty, replace it, if the problem is in the float of this sensor, you can try to repair it, if the wiring is faulty, replace it, or seek help from an experienced auto electrician.
When does an exclamation mark light up?
Do you know this situation: suddenly a symbol starts flashing on the dashboard that you have never seen before? And you don’t understand what that means?
Asking is a bit inconvenient, and there is no one to ask. This is urgent? Can you postpone until tomorrow? Maybe call a tow truck?

Hyundai Creta – how to turn off the TPMS light? How to reset TPMS lamp? Video
The warning light will also come on if tires without pressure sensors are used. To solve this problem, you can use our short video. Video instruction on how to turn off the TPMS tire pressure monitoring indicator on the Hyundai Creta dashboard.
For this we need:
1. Any ODB2 adapter for reading from the CAN bus, for example ELM327, it is better to take v.1.5, not v.2.1. – the price is about 300-400 rubles.
2. Program for smartphone – HobDrive. You can buy on PlayMarket, but better on the official website, since the latest version appears earlier on the official website. The license will also be sent to you and will not be verified by PlayMarket.
3. Instruction and detailed operation algorithm:
that’s all. I hope this article was useful to you and we answered all your questions. And if we have not fully disclosed the topic, write your questions in the comments to this article.
Exclamation mark on the dashboard of Hyundai Creta
Many owners of a Korean crossover notice an exclamation mark on the Hyundai Creta dashboard. Alas, not everyone knows what this means.
When an exclamation mark lights up on the dashboard, we subconsciously perceive it as some kind of malfunction. Especially if the exclamation point is red. Let’s find out what this means.
In every modern car there are things that no trip can do without. The dashboard is no exception. We learn from her about the speed, mileage, condition of the car, rpm, temperature and oil pressure in the engine. Modern dashboards can combine an on-board computer, navigator and other functions.
In Hyundai Kreta for the Russian market, two types of panels are installed – standard and SuperVision. SuperVision is distinguished by the presence of a color display in the center. Such a dashboard is installed only on the most expensive and expensive Hyundai Kreta trim levels. However, the designations and icons on both panels are identical and do not differ in any way.
Hyundai Solaris, the ABS and handbrake lights are on while driving, the speedometer does not work. Solution to the problem.
