Jeep Wrangler Dashboard Red Telltale Lights

The lights that you may see on your Jeep Wrangler dashboard are known as telltale lights. The red telltale lights are the most serious and mean that a major problem has occurred with your vehicle. Common red telltale lights include:

• Air Bag: A light that looks like an airbag in front of a car passenger means that your air bag system has malfunctioned and needs to be examined as soon as possible.
• Battery Charge: A problem with your battery charging system is indicated by a red telltale light that looks like a car battery with a plus and minus symbol.
• Brake System: When you see the word BRAKE lit in red, there is an issue with your braking system. This light can mean that your parking brake is still active or that your brake fluid is too low. It can also mean an issue with your anti-lock brake system reservoir.
• Temperature: A red telltale light that looks like a thermometer over two wavy lines will activate if your engine has overheated. If you see this light, pull your vehicle over whenever it is safe to do so and allow your engine to cool down.

Wrangler Dashboard Yellow Telltale Lights

The Jeep Wrangler also features several yellow telltale lights. The problems indicated by these lights may need to be addressed by a repair professional, but should not cause alarm. Yellow telltale lights include:

• Fuel: When you are low on fuel, you will see a yellow telltale light that looks like a fuel pump.
• Anti-Lock Brake: If the letters ABS inside of a circle are lit while your vehicle is running, it means your anti-lock brake system is not functional. While this does require service, your traditional brakes will still be active.
• Check Engine: A general malfunction with your Wrangler is indicated by the vehicle check light, which looks like a car engine. This light may be active if your gas cap is loose or if you have used low-quality fuel.
