Without knowing more about which light on your
Pontiac G6
dashboard came on, it’s hard to say what the problem may be. However, this table below lists some of the most common warning lights on a Pontiac G6 dashboard:Description of light & color | What light may mean | When to go to mechanic |
|---|---|---|
oil can icon (sometimes with a wrench); amber | This indicates your G6 needs an oil change | Change your oil as soon as possible. |
Horseshoe-shaped icon with an ! mark; amber | Low tire pressure | Check your tire pressure and fill with air as needed. If the light comes back on, take your car in to a mechanic to troubleshoot the problem. |
Engine icon; amber | Problems vary from the simple to the more complex | An easy fix is to tighten your gas cap. If that doesn’t work, take your G6 to a mechanic. |
Battery icon; red | Problem with battery and/or electrical system | Take to a mechanic ASAP–your G6 will stop running if it is not getting power from the battery. |
Oil can icon with or without wavy lines underneath; red | Very low oil pressure | STOP driving as soon as you safely can. Check the oil level. If you add oil and the red light remains on, bring your G6 in to a mechanic ASAP—you can wreck your engine. |
BRAKE letters or exclamation point (!) inside circles; red | Do not ignore | Safely stop the car. Tow to a mechanic if necessary. Driving with a serious brake problem is risky. |
