What Your Dashboard Lights Mean We've all been there: you notice a symbol light up on your dashboard and then the anxiety begins. What does it mean? How serious is it? What do I do next? Don't worry! We got you covered. Let's go over some the most common symbols and discover what they mean and find out when you'll need to visit our service center. Symbols and their meanings: Anti-lock brake warning light: If the anti-lock braking system or ABS lights up, there is a fault in the braking system. The purpose of anti-lock brakes is to maintain control and balance between the vehicle and the road. So, it is important that the problem is diagnosed as soon as possible when the ABS lights come on. Battery alert: This symbol means that there is a problem with the vehicle's charging system. You will be surprised to learn that often the main cause of a battery warning light is not the battery, but something else that triggered it, whether it's a faulty alternator or something else. Either way, it's best to visit our dealership ASAP to ensure you don't end up stranded somewhere. Engine warning: Your check engine light can appear for a number of reasons. First, it can be something serious that can cause you to pull over right away, such as overheating of the vehicle engine or low oil pressure. On the flip side, it can occur if the fuel cap is not securely attached or if it has a crack that allows fuel to evaporate. It should be something service techs can easily diagnose pretty quickly, so it's smart to stop by a service center. Low fuel indicator: If you have been driving for a long time, you should know this symbol. This is a sign that you are running out of gas. If you run out of fuel, don't ignore it. Instead, stop at a nearby gas station and refuel so you can reach your destination without worrying about running out of fuel or gasoline. Oil pressure light: When the oil pressure lamp comes on, it shows the image of an oil can with dripping oil. When you see this, you should schedule an oil change ASAP, because it means your vehicle is running dangerously low on oil. Without fresh oil, your car is at major risk of severe engine damage, so the sooner you can get it into a service center, the better. Traction control light: This light indicates that your vehicle's traction control system is activated. The traction indicator light uses the anti-lock braking system to determine if the wheels are spinning faster than normal, which can happen in rain or snowy weather. If your vehicle's traction control system is damaged, defective, or there is a sensor malfunction, this light will come on. This light can also appear if there are problems with a vehicle's ABS. It's best to let service technicians diagnose the issue. Conclusion Now that you know which light is on your dashboard, you know what kind of service you need to schedule!

When it comes to community service, not many are as impressive as the Clarksville Civitan Club. The Civitan Club does incredible work with 100 years of service and dedication to the Clarksville community. That’s one of the many reasons Wyatt Johnson has supported and sponsored the Clarksville Civitan. Our most recent involvement with the Clarksville Civitan Club was sponsoring their 2022 Scavenger Hunt at this year’s River Fest. The fundraiser offered a chance for participants to explore and discover local businesses, support their community, and of course, win a prize of $10,000 and $250 cash drawings, all for a great cause. That great cause is a scholarship worth $8,000 for one lucky Austin Peay State University student, with which the Civitan has a long-standing relationship, with many of their current members also being alumni of APSU. Aside from the Scavenger Hunt, The Clarksville Civitan also runs fundraisers that benefit the Civitan International Research Center. Located in Birmingham, Alabama, this center is responsible for a wide variety of successful research including into various disabilities, PTSD in veterans and abuse victims, as well as Parkinson's. The CIRC is also responsible for a leading brain cancer treatment using spider venom. The Clarksville Civitan has been a staple of the Clarksville community for years and we at Wyatt Johnson are proud to be a part of their mission. If you would like to learn more about how the Civitan helps communities all over the world, you can visit their website! The Clarksville Civitan has a lot in the works and we can’t wait to partner with them again soon!
