    Usually the two lights will come on together so it doesn’t indicate a particular fault. You need to get a diagnosis.

    It could be any of many faults, no way of guessing.

    It's not a fridge or clock radio. Could be a number of things. If it's driving ok then drive on but get it looked at asap

    I presume both lights are amber and not red. If the engine light stays on permanently and not flashing and the car driving ok then its safe to drive.
    As already said, could be multiple causes.

    Yellow light means it's a warning. So yes, you should get it checked. If you are due a service, schedule it now.

    If the warning lights are coming on intermittently and at times where a loss of traction is unlikely, that might suggest a faulty sensor or an electrical issue. A trouble code will be saved in the computer.
