What do low oil pressure, charging system and malfunction indicators mean?
I have a 2009 honda accord with quite a few miles on it. Right now, the engine won't start (makes a loud thud and the ignition won't click) and the low oil pressure, charging system and malfunction indicators are all lit up. There's no oil in the car as a rock ripped a sizable chunk out of the oil pan. Will I need a new engine and what do these indicators mean when they are simultaneously lit?
The engine has seized. Car needs a new engine. Get the car towed. If the car has a lot of miles, could make more sense if you junk it.
For what it's worth, the idiot lights always light up when you turn the ignition on and most go out once the engine has started, excluding the parking brake warning if there's one which will stay on until you release the brake. That's to prove that they work.
In your case, it sounds like the engine is seized.
Hi well as the car has gone beyond it's serviceable life of 8 year. Now it's only fit to be scrapped.
If you lost all oil wile driving it's time to buy a motor. The motor is seized.
All those lights come on when the ignition is turned to the on position and the motor isn't running.That's normal.
Yes, it's advisable to avoid driving over rocks… And to shutdown engine when there's a "sizeable chunk" out of the oil pan.
Why are you trying to start an engine that has no oil in it? You have no car sense. How long was the engine running after you struck the large rock? More than 30 seconds?
The thud is the starter drive slamming into the starter ring gear on the flywheel that won't turn, probably because your engine is seized.
A mechanic needs to check your engine.
If the ignition is on and the engine is not running, then surely the oil pressure is low. And surely the alternator is not charging. I'm not sure what the malfunction light indicates.
- 2006 Honda Pilot oil stick showing low oil? The car has absolutely no obvious leaks and its not burning oil we bought a new stick and changed the oil but yet it's still (stick only) showing as low oil, what could be the issue? Is the stick (bought new one from dealership ) the issue or can it be leaking out somewhere that's not in plain view? I'm taking it to mechanic next week but I'm trying to see if I could get Tips Here first. The car runs perfectly fine, no obvious issues.
