1994 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN service indicator

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
The orange anti-lock
brake system warning light is located near
the top right corner
of
the instrument cluster
mi
With anti-lock, this light will go on when you start your engine and may
stay
on for several seconds. That’s normal. If the light doesn’t come on,
have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you’re driving, your vehicle needs
service.
If the regular brake system warning light isn’t on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also
on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light’’
earlier in this part.
Water in Fuel Light
The red Water in Fuel
light, if
you have one,
is located near the
middle right edge of
the instrument cluster,
just below the turn
signal and lane change
indicator.
This light will come on
to warn you if there is water in the diesel fuel
system.
For more information on how this light works, see “Diesel Fuel
Requirements and Fuel System”
in the Index.

the emission controls won’t work as well, your fuel economy \
won’t be as good, and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs not covered by your warranty\

comes
on and stays on while you are driving, it could indicate a problem

if they
are
in the warning zones. If they are, have your vehicle serviced right away.
