BMW Repair/BMW '04 116i Warning Symbols

Expert: - 8/22/2010


Question
Two warning symbols are showing up on the dash and I don't have the handbook/guide with me in the car.  The first is an engine symbol showing up on it's own half color in orange the second symbol that shows up after the first one is a triangle with an arrow going around in the direction from right to left as if to indicate turn around!

Answer
The first light would be the service engine soon light,which means you need to have the system scanned to check for codes listed and the other is a traction control light,maybe the wheels or a wheel was spinning faster than the other wheels.Either way it should be checked.
