WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Check engine

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). This 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 Check Engine indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first

turned to the ON 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 check engine light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

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

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Check Engine light to

illuminate. Examples are:

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

poorly.)

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly

installing and securely tightening the gas cap. After three driving cycles

without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the Check

Engine light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine

startup followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle

service is required.

If the Check Engine light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the

first available opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.

You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap

Illuminates when the ignition is

turned to the ON position. It will

also illuminate when the fuel filler

cap is not installed properly. Check

the fuel filler cap for proper installation.

For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and

care chapter.

Air bag readiness

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned ON. If the light

fails to illuminate, continues to flash

or remains on, have the system

serviced immediately.
