ENGINE WARNING LAMPS
WAIT TO START LAMP
The WAIT TO START lamp will illuminate for a brief
time after the key is turned to the run position. This
waiting period allows the fuel rails to be purged of
vapor and supplied with liquid propane fuel. Engine
cranking is possible, but not recommended while the
lamp is on. When the lamp turns off and the key is
turned to the start position the engine will start. If
the engine is not started within 15 seconds after the
lamp goes out the key should be cycled back to the
off position and then again to the run position to
repeat the wait to start process.
CHECK ENGINE LAMP (Steady)
A steady illumination of the CHECK ENGINE LAMP
indicates that there is a fault with some aspect of
the engine operating system. Some faults may put
the engine into a reduced power mode to protect
components. This reduction in power will be notice-
able to the operator of the vehicle. The vehicle
should be taken to an OEM authorized service facili-
ty for service as soon as possible. Failure to maintain
the engine operating system could void the warran-
ty.
CHECK ENGINE LAMP (Flashing)
A flashing CHECK ENGINE LAMP is an indication of
an engine misfire. Misfires occur when the combus-
tion process in one or more cylinders is not properly
completed. This could lead to fuel passing through
the engine and into the exhaust system, which could
damage catalytic converters. Individual cylinders
may be deactivated as a means to protect the cata-
lytic converters, which will result in a decrease in
engine power. To prevent more serious damage to
the vehicle:
•
Reduce engine speed.
•
Avoid hard accelerations.
• Avoid steep uphill grades.
If the light continues to flash, find a safe place to
stop and park the vehicle. Turn the vehicle off, wait
at least 10 seconds, and restart the engine. If the
light is still flashing have the vehicle serviced as soon
as possible. The engine should not be operated for
extended periods while a flashing CHECK ENGINE
LIGHT
is present or damage to the catalytic convert-
ers will result. Catalytic converters damaged by driv-
ing the vehicle with a flashing check engine light are
not covered under warranty. The vehicle should be
taken to an OEM authorized service facility for ser-
