8-142 METERS AND GAUGES - EGR Warning System
EGR WARNING SYSTEM
The EGR warning system consists of a microswitch connected
to the odometer, a reset switch, and a warning light bulb.
This system will cause the EGR warning light to light up every
50,000 miles that the vehicle is driven in order to inform the
driver that it is time to check the EGR system.
The warning light bulb will light up when the ignition switch is
set to “ON” while the engine is not running, thus allowing the
driver to confirm that the bulb is not burned out.
RESET SWITCH
Use the switch on the back of the odometer to reset the EGR
warning system.
NOTE
If the speedometer is to be replaced, set the new odometer to
the same reading as the odometer being, removed.
