White smoke (which is actually steam) means the radiator is A) damaged and not cooling the engine anymore. or B) doesn't have enough water in it, if any. If you keep driving with it like that the engine will get damaged and emit black smoke. If its black smoke, your car is just about toast, sadly. You cant fix the check engine light, but you can fix and/or refill the radiator to stop any more damage from being inflicted, assuming its not already too damaged.

Not true. Just now had same situation with water inside like 60% of it. Fev days ago I drive with out water and wasent any engine light. For water is another indicator there for engine temp.

Nope, it is absolutely true. Yea, there is a gauge for the coolant level, but, I never said there wasn't. I also didn't say that the engine warning light was for water only. In fact I believe I made it pretty clear that the OP's engine light probably came on because a lack of water caused damage to the engine. Why did you necro a 6 month old thread? You should have just made a new one if you wanted help with your problem. Would lead to a quicker response...

But since we're here...
Im not sure 60% water is enough. If my vehicles coolant loop and reservoir was at 60% of its capacity in real life I would consider that very low. But, im not sure if it would actually cause damage.

If that isn't why your car is damaged, then the server could have registered you colliding with an object without your knowledge due to desync. Or, you may not be shifting properly and are exceeding redline. Any of those could be the reason your vehicle received damage.

Use the toolbox method to fix your engine (may take 2 or 3 times) until you no longer get the option
Get in the car and start it and when in 'N', rev the car just to the red symbol and the yellow/orange symbol will disappear
May need to rev it a few times but don't keep it there as you will blow the engine

Use a permanant marker to cover it......

Not making this up, just watched a yt video where a guy said his grandmother did exactly that on her car to "remove" the check engine light.
