Seeing several warning lights on your dash at the same time? Don’t panic — it’s often not as catastrophic as it looks. In fact, most of the time, this is by design. Manufacturers know drivers often ignore a single check engine light, so modern vehicles are programmed to trigger multiple warnings at once to grab your attention and encourage you to stop and get the vehicle checked out.

In this video, we break down:

Why multiple lights may come on together — and why it’s often intentional

How a simple issue like a loose gas cap or weak battery can cause a chain reaction

Specific examples of makes and models that we know do this in an extreme way

What’s normal (like a startup bulb check) vs. what’s serious

You’ll also learn how to tell when it’s safe to keep driving and when to call a tow truck.

Whether it’s your check engine, ABS, traction control, or all three — this video will help you make sense of it and know what to do next.
