You should also have the dealer
inspect your vehicle if the indicator
comes on frequently, even though it
goes off when you follow the above
procedure.
If you keep driving with the
malfunction indicator lamp on, you
can damage your vehicle’s emissions
controls and engine. Those repairs
may not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranties.
This indicator should come on when
the ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position, and go out after the engine
starts. If the charging system
indicator comes on brightly when the
engine is running, the battery is not
being charged.
Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories. Try not to use other
electrically operated controls such as
the power windows. Keep the engine
running; starting the engine will
discharge the battery rapidly.
Go to a dealer or a service station
where you can get technical
assistance.
If this indicator comes on, safely pull
off the road and turn off the engine.
Restart the engine and watch the
indicator. If it stays on, have your
vehicle checked by the dealer as
soon as possible. Drive moderately
until the dealer has inspected the
problem. Avoid full-throttle
acceleration and driving at high
speed.
This indicator comes on, then goes
out when you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position. If the
indicator comes on while driving, it
means one of the engine’s emissions
control systems may have a problem.
Even though you may feel no
difference in your vehicle’s
performance, it can reduce your fuel
economy and cause increased
emissions. Continued operation may
cause serious damage.
If you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position, without starting the
engine, the malfunction indicator
lamp will come on for about 20
seconds. It then goes off or blinks 5
times under various conditions. This
is normal: it shows the self-testing
condition of the diagnostics for the
emissions control systems.
