Warning lights not sure what it means it is a box like looking symbol with a little water on the bottom has come on 3 times in a week. What is this symbol and what can I do to find the problem with it as the car is acting fine at the moment..

The same light came on this morning and I'm looking for info also... I wonder if it could be either the water level, or the brake fluid level. The water level is fine in my car, so I'm guessing it is the brake fluid level.

Does it look like a t bar coming out of the top of the box? I have the same light and I can't figure it out. Did either of you figure out the problem?

I believe it is the low coolant light.

What is the light with a liquid at the bottem and a red down arrow pointing to it? It came on on my 2005 Saturn L300.

Reply #10 Tammy (76.112.125.166) - Tue Jan 13 19:28:39 2009

The light with the liquid at the bottom and an arrow pointing down is the Low Engine Coolant indicator.

The light that looks like liquid with a T bar or thermometer coming out of it is the Engine Coolant Temperature indicator.

That is your check engine light and it could be on for a variety reasons, here is an entry from the owners manual regarding the arrow symbol and what it means. You can also go onto GM's website and check for information regarding your saturn.

Reduced Engine Power Light

This light will come on

briefly when you start

the engine.

This light, along with the service engine soon light will be

displayed when a noticeable reduction in the vehicle’s

performance may occur. Stop the vehicle and turn off the

ignition. Wait for 10 seconds and restart your vehicle.

This may correct the condition.

The vehicle may be driven at a reduced speed when the

reduced engine power light is on but acceleration and

speed may be reduced. The performance may be

reduced until the next time you drive your vehicle. If this

light stays on, see your

Check Engine light:

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

Check Engine Light

Your vehicle has a

computer which monitors

operation of the fuel,

ignition, and emission

control systems.

This system is called OBD II (On-Board

Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to

assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life

of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.

The check engine light comes on to indicate that there is

a problem and service is required. Malfunctions often

will be indicated by the system before any problem is

apparent. This may prevent more serious damage to

your vehicle. This system is also designed to assist

your service technician in correctly diagnosing any

malfunction.

I have a 2002 L200, I recently had the catalytic converter replaced, and now the Service Engine and Security warning lights are coming on. Any suggestions?

I have a light that is at the bottom of the dash on the right side that comes on when I start the car. It looks like little squiggley lines horizontally, if I turn the car off and turn it back on it goes away. It doesnt happen all the time. What does this mean? I cannot locate the meanings of the warning lights.

Its a 2003 Saturn Vue.

My L seres Saturn has a sevice light on, but beside the light, is a wrench. It came on last week, and I discovered a burned out tail light. But them it came back on. All lights are on now, no codes came up, how do I get rid of it. I tryed diconecting Batt, to no avail.

The red warning light is a box with two waves in it, an arrow pointing down and a T on the top indicates your Engine Coolant is low. So fix it!

Ok, hopefully someone can help me out. So far i have found a solution to one of my problems, which would be my engine not cranking when I turn the key, but the lights do come on. After some research online I have found that it is possible the white wire in the steering wheel. Normally my husband knocks on the cylnoid and wire connected, and it will start.

The other problem that I am having is my Reduced Engine Power Light (looks like a little motor with a arrow pointing down) keeps coming on. The owners manual says to turn it off and then back on after a few mins, which corrects the problem, but something must be wrong cause it still comes on every once in a while. From what it sounds is that it is a common problem and if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated. It just is a hassle sometimes when I have to find a spot to pull over, and when they put it on a diagnosic computer and charge you $72 to tell you nothing is wrong...
