WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

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 Service Engine Soon 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 Service Engine Soon light illuminates

Light turns on solid:

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

Temporary malfunctions may cause your Service Engine Soon 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.

SERVICE

ENGINE

SOON

Instrumentation

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 Service

Engine Soon 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 Service Engine Soon 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.

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.

Safety belt

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON position

to remind you to fasten your safety

belts. For more information, refer to

the Seating and safety restraints

chapter.

Instrumentation

Brake system warning

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON

position. Also illuminates if the

parking brake is engaged. If the

brake warning lamp does not

illuminate at these times, seek service immediately. Illumination after

releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake

system should be inspected immediately.

Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

Momentarily illuminates when the

ignition is turned to the ON

position. If the light remains on,

continues to flash or fails to

illuminate, have the system serviced

immediately. With the ABS light on, the anti-lock brake system is

disabled and normal braking is still effective unless the brake warning

light also remains illuminated with the parking brake released.

Turn signal

Illuminates when the left or right

turn signal or the hazard lights are

turned on. If one or both of the

indicators stay on continuously or

flash faster, check for a burned-out

turn signal bulb. Refer to Exterior bulbs in the Maintenance and care

chapter.

High beams

Illuminates when the high beam

headlamps are turned on.
