Yellow Dashboard Warning Lights

Yellow dashboard lights indicate there could be a possible malfunction with your vehicle. And while these do not mean you need to immediately pull over to the side of the road, it's smart to get the issues resolved as soon as possible to prevent further issues.

Service 4WD Warning - If there's a problem with the 4WD system, this light will illuminate on your dashboard. You'll still be able to drive on paved and dry roads just fine, though taking on rocky terrain or slick conditions may be dangerous.

Anti-Lock Brake Warning - When there's an issue with your anti-lock brakes, your vehicle will let you know by lighting up this symbol. And though your traditional braking system will still work, this issue should be assessed by a professional as soon as possible, as it could prevent you from coming to a sudden halt in an emergency situation.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System - If your Grand Cherokee senses that one or more of your tires are low, this light will appear. To avoid a possible flat tire or blow-out, make sure to fill up your tires to the proper PSI as soon as possible.

Red Dashboard Warning Lights

When a more serious issue is detected in your Jeep Grand Cherokee, these red dashboard lights will make themselves known. Because these could be dangerous to you, as well as other drivers on the road, have them assessed by a certified technician immediately.

 

• Oil Pressure Warning - If your Jeep is overdue for an oil change, this light will appear to let you know your oil levels are too low. As this could result in possible damage to your engine, as well as fires under the hood, schedule an oil change to fix the issues right away.
• Engine Coolant Temperature Warning - When your engine is overheating, this symbol will appear. To ensure safety, pull over to the side of the road and turn off your engine. Allow it to cool down before starting the ignition again. Then, make your way to your dealership's service center to avoid dangerous damages under your hood.
• Brake Warning - When your brake system fails or there is an issue, this light will show up on your dash. Stop your Grand Cherokee immediately and contact a professional mechanic or tow truck, as it is not safe to drive with limited brake function.
