Saturn 2007 Outlook, Owner'S Manual, Page: 223 / 538

This light should come on, as a check to show
you it is working, when the ignition is on and the
engine is not running. If the light does not
come on, have it repaired. This light will also
come on during a malfunction in one of two ways:
•
Light Flashing — A misfire condition has
been detected. A misfire increases vehicle
emissions and could damage the emission
control system on your vehicle. Diagnosis and
service might be required.
•
Light On Steady — An emission control
system malfunction has been detected on your
vehicle. Diagnosis and service might be
required.
If the Light is Flashing
The following can prevent more serious damage
to your vehicle:
•
Reduce vehicle speed.
•
Avoid hard accelerations.
•
Avoid steep uphill grades.
•
If you are towing a trailer, reduce the amount
of cargo being hauled as soon as it is
possible.
If the light stops flashing and remains on steady,
see “If the Light Is On Steady” following.
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 key off, wait at least
10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the light
remains on steady, see “If the Light Is On Steady”
following. If the light is still flashing, follow the
previous steps and see your dealer/retailer
for service as soon as possible.
