1993 CADILLAC DEVILLE check engine light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine How To Reset the Oil Life Indicator: After the oil has been changed,
press and hold the
“RANGE” and “RESET” buttons between 5 and 60
seconds. Once the buttons are released the “CHANGE OIL SOON”
light will flash 4 times to indicate it has reset to 100. If the “CHANGE
OIL SOON” light comes on for 5 seconds it did not reset. You will need
to reset the system again. The percentage
of oil life remaining may be
checked at any time by pressing the
“RANGE” and “FUEL USED” on
the Fuel Data center.
Engine Block Heater: An engine block heater can be a big help if you
have to park outside
in very cold weather, O°F (-18OC) or colder. If your
vehicle has this option, see “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil:
’
A CAUTION:
Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
laboratory animals. Don’t let used oil stay
on your skin for very
long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil.
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose
of oil by pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies
of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
If you have a problem properly disposing of your used
oil, ask your dealer, a service station or
a local recycling center for help.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine put in, the fluid level goes back up. The other reason is that fluid is
leaking out
of the brake system. If it is, you should have your brake
system fixed, since a leak means that sooner
or later your brakes won’t
work well, or won’t work at all.
So, it isn’t a good idea to “top off” your
brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a leak.
If you add fluid when
your linings are worn, then you’ll have too much fluid when you get new
brake linings.
You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as necessary, only
when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
I
I A= CAUTION
I
I only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
If you have too much brake fluid, it can spill on the engine. The
fluid will burn if the engine is hot enough. You or others could
be burned, and your vehicle could be damaged. Add brake fluid
U
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake warning light will
come on. See “Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid:
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap. If it’s low, fill it
to the maximum “FLUID LEVEC’ indicator.

The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in the light switch.
An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off, or in some
cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlight wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wipers
r
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit breaker and a fuse.
If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until
the motor cools. If the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc.,
be sure to get it fixed.
I_
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker
-
opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.
