Is it an exclamation inside a circle with stubs (like a gear)? It turned out to be the transmission on my 2000 Ford Taurus. It needed a qt of trans fluid and I have not seen the mysterious exclamation again. I could not find it in the manual either. The resemblence to a gear just made me think power train.

In most vehicles this is the check tire pressure light. you either have a low tire or bad sensors. Some sensors have a problem where if the tires are under 35psi the light eventually comes on, even if their recommended pressure is 30. The spares on the suvs may also have a sensor.
if ur talking about a rover 200 then that light is telling u that u have a problem with ur brakes, possibly low on brake fluid, or a wheel brake unit is leaking. check ur brake fluid level. (the brake fluid resivoir is on the driver side of the engine.middle-far left) (by matmaxww)
On a dashboard? It means your handbrake is on.
it means that your tire needs air pressure .
The dashboard light with an exclamation mark Honda CR-V (2007-) can mean 2 things:1. If the exclamation mark is "in a triangle" it is "VSA activation indicator" and it comes on, when the VSA is turned OFF by using the VSA OFF switch, or the VSA function is lost.2. If the exclamation mark is in a semi-circle it is "The low pressure indicator" and means you have to inflate your tires to a recommended pressure.
parking, or emergency brake
The red exclamation point in a circle is the parking brake indicator.
TPMS Tire Pressure warning
Low tire
The engine computer has detected a problem with the elctronic throttle system It will have set a code.
It is the tire pressure monitoring system, one or more of your tires is low on pressure
Air pressure in (one of) the tires is low. So check for leaks
It could be tire pressure,or a sensor.AND TO ME IT WOULD MEAN STOP BY AUTO ZONE AND HAVE THEM DO A FREE COMPUTER CODE CHECK!
Usually it means an Engine Problem. Get it checked out before something goes terribly wrong.
