WARNING LIGHTS CONTINUED

SERVICE ENGINE SOON 

(SES) 

SES LIGHT IS 

CONTINUOSLY LIT:

A continuously lit SES light means 

that one of the engine's emission 

control systems may be 

malfunctioning. The malfunction 

may be a temporary condition. 

Examples of temporary conditions 

which may cause the SES light to 

illuminate are:

1.

The motorhome has run out

of fuel. (The engine may misfire or

run poorly).

2.

Poor fuel quality or water

in the fuel system.

3.

The fuel cap may not have

been properly installed and/or

securely tightened

Filling the fuel tank with good 

quality fuel and/or properly 

installing the gas cap can correct a 

temporary malfunction. After 

three driving cycles without these 

or any temporary malfunctions 

present, the SES light should turn 

off. (A driving cycle consists of a 

cold engine startup followed by 

mixed city/highway driving).

If the SES light remains on after 3 

engine cycle, contact an 

authorized Ford Dealership for 

Maintenance

SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES)

CONTINUED:

SES LIGHT IS FLASHING:

A flashing SES light means the engine is 

misfiring, Contact an authorized Ford 

Dealership for maintenance.

ENGINE OIL

 Illuminates when the engine oil pressure 

is low, Add engine oil as soon as 

possible. Use engine oil specified by 

Ford Motor Company. If the oil light 

remains luminated, contact an authorized 

Ford Dealership for maintenance.
