An "amber-colored alarm light" below the oil & battery meter indicator on the dash board in ON. The light is shaped like a whistling kettle. May I know what it stands for? I've already consulted a motor repair shop but they don't know at all what does it means or what is the problem.
Its a 1999 Ford Explorer.

Thank you!

Are you sure it isn't the oil light? Is there anyway you could take a picture of it and upload it for me?

I made a sketch of the light, scanned it and here I am posting. This light I believe is suppose to light only during engine start up and after the system check this is suppose to turn off. I've seen this light in a toyota corolla car of my friend.

Thanks!

It looks like a check engine light. Have you tried having the computer scanned? Most parts stores will do it for free.

I think its time to bring the car to the Ford service center. See If I can get a booking.

Many parts stores will scan it for free unless you live in CA.
