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, refer to the
respective system warning light for additional information.

Service engine soon:

The service

engine soon indicator
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned to the on position to check
the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing. Normally, the service engine soon
indicator will stay on until the engine is cranked, then turn itself off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after 15 seconds the service engine
soon indicator blinks eight times, it means that the vehicle is not ready
for I/M testing. See the Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M)
testing in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.
Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to On
board diagnostics (OBD-II) in the Maintenance and Specifications
chapter. If the indicator is blinking, engine misfire is occurring which
could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate fashion
(avoid heavy acceleration and deceleration) and contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.

WARNING:

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 fuel cap may not be properly
installed. Check the fuel filler cap if
this remains on. Continued driving
with this on may cause the service
engine soon warning indicator to
come on.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an
improperly installed or properly re-installed fuel filler cap
depending on driving and fuel tank level conditions.

Refer to Fuel

filler cap in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter.

Brake system warning light:

confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the on position
when the engine is not running, or in a position between on and start, or
by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the on
position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this
time, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Illumination
after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level or a
failure to brake proportioning. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

WARNING:

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning

light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking

performance may occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and
the risk of personal injury.

Anti-lock brake system:

If the

ABS light stays illuminated or
continues to flash, a malfunction has
been detected; contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake warning light
also is illuminated.

Low tire pressure warning:

is low. If the light remains on at
start up or while driving, the tire
pressure should be checked. Refer
to Inflating your tires in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter. When
the ignition is first turned to on, the light will illuminate for three
seconds to ensure the bulb is working. If the light does not turn on,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. For more information
on this system, refer to Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in
the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter.

Charging system:

Illuminates when

the battery is not charging properly.
If it stays on while the engine is
running, there may be a malfunction
with the charging system. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. This indicates a problem with the electrical system or a related
component.

Illuminates

when the oil pressure falls below the
normal range. Refer to Engine oil

can be slow to update. Also, a minimum of 3.0 gallons (11.0 liters) is
needed for correct indication after refueling.

fuel filler door is located.
