What does the Fuel Cutout light mean?

The Fuel Cutout light, often depicted as a fuel pump or a gas pump with a slash through it, indicates that the fuel supply to the engine has been interrupted or is significantly reduced. This is a serious issue and means the engine will likely stall or lose power. The exact cause could be several things, including:

* Low fuel: The most common and obvious reason.

* Fuel pump failure: The pump isn't supplying fuel to the engine.

* Blocked fuel filter: A clogged filter restricts fuel flow.

* Fuel line problem: A leak or blockage in the fuel lines.

* Fuel injector malfunction: The injectors aren't spraying fuel properly.

* Electrical issue: A problem with the fuel pump's electrical circuit.

* Immobilizer system: In some cars, a fault with the anti-theft system can prevent fuel delivery.

If this light illuminates, you should immediately pull over safely and contact roadside assistance or a mechanic. Continuing to drive could cause serious damage to your engine.
