Subaru Warning Lights: What Do They Mean?

When a dashboard warning light appears, it's your Subaru's way of telling you something needs attention. While some lights indicate minor issues, others signal the need for immediate service, and our service center near Mount Pleasant can help.

  • Check Engine Light: Could indicate anything from a loose gas cap to engine trouble.
  • Oil Pressure Light: Signals low oil pressure, which can lead to engine damage.
  • Battery Warning Light: Suggests potential charging system issues.
  • Brake System Warning Light: May indicate worn brake pads or low brake fluid.

Battery Checks for Your Subaru

Your Subaru's battery plays a crucial role in starting the engine and powering essential systems. Extreme temperatures during the summers in West Ashley, frequent short trips around Goose Creek, and aging can all impact battery performance.

Signs Your Battery Needs Attention:

  • Slow engine cranking or difficulty starting
  • Dimming headlights or interior lights
  • Frequent need for jump-starts

At our Charleston service center, we offer quick and accurate battery tests to assess your battery's condition. If a replacement is needed, we'll install a high-quality Subaru-approved battery to keep your vehicle powered and reliable.
