The Chevrolet Trailblazer's dashboard warning lights are crucial indicators of your vehicle's health and performance. Understanding these symbols can help you maintain your SUV and address potential issues promptly.

Engine Warning Lights

Check Engine Light

The check engine light, shaped like an engine outline, indicates a problem with your Trailblazer's engine or emissions system. If this light appears, it's best to have your vehicle checked by a professional as soon as possible.

This light, resembling an oil can, signals low oil pressure. If it illuminates while driving, stop safely and turn off the engine immediately to prevent damage.

A red circle with an exclamation point inside indicates an issue with your brake system. This could mean low brake fluid or a problem with the brake hydraulic system.
