DashGlyph: Car Warning Lights

A car warning light just came on and you don't know what it means? DashGlyph explains dashboard symbols in plain words: what the light is, how urgent it is and what to do now. No OBD2 adapter needed. It is not a mechanic: it never promises a car is safe to drive, and if in doubt it tells you to stop somewhere safe.

DASHBOARD SYMBOLS AND MEANINGS
20 common dashboard warning lights, sorted by color: check engine light, oil pressure, engine temperature, brake warning, battery, ABS, airbag, tire pressure (TPMS), traction control, glow plugs, diesel particulate filter (DPF), AdBlue and more. Tap a symbol to see its meaning and what to do right now. It works offline, so it still helps on a road with no signal.

SNAP A PHOTO OF YOUR DASHBOARD
Not sure which symbol it is? Take a photo. DashGlyph reads every light and gives a Drive Score from A to F, where F means stop somewhere safe.

CAN I KEEP DRIVING?
Tick what you notice: a flashing light, smoke, a high temperature gauge, soft brakes, a new noise. You get one clear answer: stop somewhere safe, get it checked soon, or book a check.

OBD2 FAULT CODES EXPLAINED
Got a trouble code like P0420 or P0300 from a code reader or a garage? Look it up offline in plain words, with what often causes it. A code tells you what the computer saw, not which part failed.

TALK TO THE MECHANIC
Questions to ask, copied in one tap. Snap a car repair quote to split it into labor and parts and see the typical repair time. Keep a log of your car's lights to show when it started.

WORKS WHEREVER YOU DRIVE
Dashboard symbols and generic OBD-II and EOBD codes are widely shared across countries and car makes, and the app follows your phone's language.

IMPORTANT
DashGlyph is an AI assistant and can make mistakes. It is not a mechanic and cannot inspect your car. Symbols and meanings vary by car, so your owner's manual wins. It never promises a car is safe to drive: if in doubt, stop somewhere safe and get help. DashGlyph is not affiliated with any carmaker, garage or tool brand. Results are not guaranteed.
