hybrid if that matters
Automotive Expert
Got it. The master warning light could indicate several different things. Usually that means there was a fault detected by the powertrain control module. This could be a misfire, an issue with the hybrid system or any other fault. Is the light red or yellow?
Automotive Expert
If it's red do not drive the vehicle. If yellow, drive it to the shop for diagnosis.

It was just a white !
Automotive Expert
Just take to the shop as soon as you can then. You can view the specific warning menu through your driver controls on the instrument cluster.

K...thanks Bart
