Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle - 2011

5-14

Instruments and Controls

To prevent more serious damage to
the vehicle:

.

Reduce vehicle speed.

.

Avoid hard accelerations.

.

Avoid steep uphill grades.

.

If towing a trailer, reduce the
amount of cargo being hauled
as soon as it is possible.

If the light continues to flash, when
it is safe to do so, stop the vehicle.
Find a safe place to park the
vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait at
least 10 seconds, and restart the
engine. If the light is still flashing,
follow the previous steps and see
your dealer for service as soon as
possible.

Light On Steady:

An emission

control system malfunction has
been detected on the vehicle.
Diagnosis and service might be
required.

The following may correct an
emissions system malfunction:

.

Check that the fuel cap is fully
installed. See

Filling the Tank on

page 9

‑

42

. The diagnostic

system can determine if the
fuel cap has been left off or
improperly installed. A loose or
missing fuel cap allows fuel to
evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few driving trips with the cap
properly installed should turn
the light off.

.

Check that the electrical
system is not wet. The system
could be wet if the vehicle was
driven through a deep puddle of
water. The condition is usually
corrected when the electrical
system dries out. A few driving
trips should turn the light off.

.

Check that good quality fuel
is used. Poor fuel quality
causes the engine not to run as
efficiently as designed and can
cause: stalling after start-up,
stalling when the vehicle is
changed into gear, misfiring,
hesitation on acceleration,
or stumbling on acceleration.
These conditions might go away
once the engine is warmed up.

If one or more of these conditions
occurs, change the fuel brand used.
It will require at least one full tank of
the proper fuel to turn the light off.

See

Recommended Fuel on

page 9

‑

38

.

If none of the above have made
the light turn off, your dealer can
check the vehicle. The dealer
has the proper test equipment
and diagnostic tools to fix any
mechanical or electrical problems
that might have developed.
