Mitsubishi Forklift FGC15N Warning Light Symbols
| Symbol | Name | Color | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Warning (Stop) | RED | A critical system fault has been detected in the FGC15N that could risk equipment safety or operation. | Immediately stop the forklift and investigate the source of the warning. | |
| Master Caution | AMBER | A non-critical system fault or abnormal condition has been detected in the FGC15N. | Review the cluster for additional lights and schedule maintenance if needed. | |
| Check Engine (MIL) | AMBER | The FGC15N’s engine control system has detected an issue affecting performance or emissions. | Continue operating with caution and arrange for engine diagnostics soon. | |
| Engine Oil Pressure | RED | Engine oil pressure has dropped below safe limits in the FGC15N’s LPG engine. | Shut down the engine immediately and check oil level and leaks. | |
| Battery / Charging | RED | The alternator is not charging the battery or battery voltage is critically low on the FGC15N. | Stop operation and inspect the charging system and battery connections. | |
| Coolant Temperature | RED | Engine coolant temperature has exceeded safe operating limits on the FGC15N. | Turn off the engine and allow it to cool; check coolant level and radiator. | |
| Brake System | RED | A fault or fluid loss has been detected in the FGC15N’s hydraulic brake system. | Do not continue operation; inspect brake fluid and system components. | |
| Parking Brake | RED | The parking brake is engaged on the FGC15N. | Release the parking brake before moving the forklift. | |
| Seat Belt | AMBER | The operator seat belt is not fastened while the FGC15N is in use. | Secure the seat belt before operating the forklift. | |
| Low Fuel | AMBER | The LPG fuel level in the FGC15N’s tank is low and needs replenishing soon. | Plan to refuel the LPG tank at the next opportunity. | |
| Hydraulic System | AMBER | A hydraulic system issue or low fluid has been detected in the FGC15N. | Check hydraulic fluid level and inspect for leaks. | |
| Service / Hour Meter | AMBER | The FGC15N has reached a scheduled service interval based on operating hours. | Arrange for maintenance as indicated by the hour meter. | |
| Air Filter | AMBER | The engine air filter on the FGC15N is clogged or requires replacement. | Inspect and clean or replace the air filter promptly. | |
| Fuel Filter / Water Separator | AMBER | The FGC15N’s fuel filter is restricted or water has accumulated in the separator. | Drain water from the separator and replace the fuel filter as needed. | |
| Work Lights | GREEN | The FGC15N’s work lights are switched on for improved visibility. | No action needed unless lighting is not required. | |
| Beacon / Rotating Light | AMBER | The safety beacon is active on the FGC15N for increased visibility. | Ensure the beacon is functioning during operation in pedestrian areas. | |
| Overload / Capacity | RED | The FGC15N’s load exceeds the rated lifting capacity, risking tip-over. | Lower the load immediately and verify weight before attempting to lift again. |

Most Important Warning Lights
Engine Oil Pressure Warning
Common causes
- Low engine oil level
- Oil pump failure
- Oil filter blockage
What to do
Stop the FGC15N immediately, check and top up engine oil, and inspect for leaks or pump issues before resuming operation.
Coolant Temperature Warning
Common causes
- Low coolant level
- Radiator blockage
- Thermostat malfunction
What to do
Allow the engine to cool, check coolant level, inspect the radiator for obstructions, and ensure the thermostat is operating correctly.
Brake System Warning
Common causes
- Low brake fluid
- Hydraulic leak in brake lines
- Worn brake components
What to do
Do not operate the FGC15N until brake fluid is checked and leaks or worn parts are repaired to restore safe braking performance.
Overload Warning
Common causes
- Attempting to lift a load above rated capacity
- Incorrect load distribution
- Faulty load sensor
What to do
Lower the load to within the rated capacity, ensure proper load placement, and have sensors checked if warnings persist.
Battery / Charging Warning
Common causes
- Alternator failure
- Loose or corroded battery terminals
- Defective battery
What to do
Inspect the alternator and battery connections on the FGC15N, and replace the battery if it cannot hold a charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the FGC15N displays the Check Engine light?
Continue operating with caution, but schedule a diagnostic check to identify and resolve the engine issue as soon as possible.
How often should I service the FGC15N based on the hour meter?
Follow the service intervals listed in the operator’s manual, typically every 250 hours for major maintenance tasks.
Why does the hydraulic warning light come on during operation?
This usually indicates low hydraulic fluid or a leak; check fluid levels and inspect hoses and fittings for damage.
Can I drive the FGC15N with the parking brake light on?
No, always release the parking brake before moving to prevent brake wear or damage.
What does it mean when the overload warning appears?
The forklift is lifting more than its rated capacity; immediately lower the load to avoid risk of tipping or equipment damage.
