    • A
      Alyssa ArmstrongAug 27, 2025
      If the warning lamp illuminates while the engine is running, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the oil level is too low and top it up if necessary. Another potential cause is a dirty oil filter cartridge, which should be replaced. Also, inspect the oil pipe connection for any faults and repair them. Finally, the pressure sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
