1993 BUICK REGAL service indicator

Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(Service Engine Soon Light)
A computer monitors operation of your fuel, ignition
and emission control systems. This light should come
on
when the ignition is on, but the engine is not running, as
a check
to show you it is working. If it does not come on
at all, have it fixed right away.
If it stays on, or it comes
on while you are driving, the computer is indicating that
you have a problem. You should take your vehicle in for
service soon.
NOTICE:
If you keep drivln
after a while the em-ission controls won’t work as
well, your fuel economy won’t be
as good and
your engine may not run as smoothly. This could
I
lead to costly repairs not covered by yo
warranty. I
