Most cars these days have an on-board computer called an Engine Control Unit or ECU, which monitors your cars performance. The sensors within your car report to the ECU when there are issues,. The ECU then uses this information to generate a fault code.
If a warning light appears on your dashboard a vehicle diagnostic test needs to be carried out to identify the issue and read the trouble code(s) before any serious damage can occur. There are so many potential fault codes and they can only be read by specialist diagnostic equipment.
The warning light on your dash is making you aware that your car has a fault, a diagnostic test is then necessary to understand the extent of the problem and the cause.
