WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may

become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may

illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.

Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the

bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the

respective system inspected immediately.

Service engine soon: Your vehicle

is equipped with a computer that

monitors the engine’s emission

control system. This system is

commonly known as the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD II). The

OBD II system protects the environment by ensuring that your vehicle

continues to meet government emission standards. The OBD II system

also assists the service technician in properly servicing your vehicle.

The indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to

the RUN position to check the bulb. If it comes on after the engine is

started, one of the engine’s emission control systems may be

malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern

being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require

towing.

What you should do if the light illuminates

Light turns on (without blinking):

This means that the OBD II system has detected a malfunction.

Temporary malfunctions may cause your light to illuminate.

Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run

poorly.)
