Q: Half check engine on RPM speedometer.

asked by on November 01, 2016

I am getting an orange half check engine fault, besides the check engine light I already have, but this one is on the RMP DIAL that is mounted on the steering wheel, is there any idea what it might mean? Thank you and hope I can get some help!
