WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause extensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulbs work. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning light for additional information.
Check engine:
The
Check Engine
indicator light illuminates when the
ignition is first turned to the ON
position to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
testing. Normally, the
⬙
Check Engine
⬙
light will stay on until the engine is
cranked, then turn itself off if no malfunctions are present. However, if
after 15 seconds the
⬙
Check Engine
⬙
light blinks eight times, it means
that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the
Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing
in the
Maintenance and
Specifications
chapter.
Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
On
board diagnostics (OBD-II)
in the
Maintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which could
damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid
heavy acceleration and deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
