Hello and thank you for using Just Answer my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be glad to help. The lightning bolt on the dash means that there is a problem with the electronic throttle control system in your vehicle. Get a code reader and scan the engine for any logged codes. The light may be on for a glitch and the electronic throttle control system needs to be reset.
