What does an engine management light indicate on a Renault kangoo?

An engine management light (often a yellow or orange icon depicting an engine) on a Renault Kangoo, like most cars, indicates a problem with the engine's control system. It doesn't pinpoint the exact issue, but signals that the car's onboard diagnostic system (OBD) has detected a fault. This could range from something minor (like a loose gas cap) to something serious (like a failing catalytic converter).

To get a clearer picture, you need to:

* Get the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) read: A mechanic or an OBD-II scanner can read the codes stored by the car's computer. These codes provide a more specific indication of the problem.

* Check the owner's manual: Your Kangoo's manual might offer some preliminary guidance on what the light *could* mean, though it won't replace a proper diagnosis.

Ignoring the light is not recommended. Continued driving with a fault could lead to further damage and potentially expensive repairs.
