Check engine warning lamp
E00502601393
This lamp is part of an onboard diagnostic sys-
tem which monitors the emissions, engine or
automated manual transmission control system /
AS&G control system.
If a problem is detected in one of these systems,
this lamp illuminates and a buzzer sounds.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable
and not need towing, we recommend you to have
the system checked as soon as possible.
This lamp will also illuminate for a few seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position. If it does not go off after a few seconds,
we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.
NOTE
●
The engine electronic control module
accommodating the onboard diagnostic sys-
tem has various fault data (especially about
the exhaust emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a battery cable is
disconnected which will make a rapid diag-
nosis difficult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warning lamp
is ON.
CAUTION
!
●
Prolonged driving with this lamp on
may cause further damage to the emis-
sion control system. It could also affect
fuel economy and drivability.
●
If the lamp does not illuminate when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, we recommend you to
have the system checked.
●
If the lamp illuminates while the
engine is running, avoid driving at
high speeds and we recommend you to
have the system checked.
During vehicle operation with the
lamp illuminated, the vehicle may not
accelerate when you depress the accel-
erator pedal.
