Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Normal operating range shows your engine speed during normal driving
conditions.
For example, when the needle points to 2, it means the engine is
running at 2,000 revolutions per minute (rpm). The tachometer needle will
vary all the time that the engine is running.
The red warning range tells you that your engine speed is reaching its upper
limits. Don’t drive very long with the tachometer in the red warning range.
If you have a manual transmission, shift to a higher gear as
soon as possible.
If you have an automatic transmission, lift your foot
off of the accelerator
pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red danger
range, engine damage will result.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in the red range,
or engine damage will occur.
The red danger range tells you that your engine speed is at its upper limits.
You should immediately shift to a higher gear, or lift your foot
off of the
accelerator pedal. If you drive for very long with the tachometer in the red
danger range, engine damage will result.
Warning Lights and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that may be on your
vehicle. The pictures will help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it
becomes serious enough to cause an expensive repair or replacement.
Paying attention
to your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions.
As you will see in the details on the next few pages,
some warning lights come on briefly when you start the engine just to let
you know they’re working. If you are familiar with this section, you should
not be alarmed when this happens.
Gages caa indicate when there may be or is a problem with one of your
vehicle’s functions. Often gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on when you are
driving, or when one of the gages shows there may be a problem, check the
section that tells you what
to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting to
do repairs can be costly - and even dangerous. So please get to
know your warning lights and gages. They’re a big help.

When the key is turned to RUN or START, a tone will come on for about
eight seconds to remind people to fasten their safety belts, u\
nless the
driver’s safety belt is already buckled. The safety belt light
will also come
on and stay on for about
20 seconds, then it will flash for about 55 seconds.
If the driver’s belt
is already buckled, neither the tone nor the light will
come on.
Air Bag, Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the instrument panel, which shows
AIR BAG. The system checks the air bag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you
if there is an electrical problem. The
system check includes the air bag sensors and
the wiring and the diagnostic
module. For more information on the air bag system, see “Air Bag”

The amber
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (SERVICE
ENGINE SOON
Light) is located at the
top
of your instrument
panel.
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 driving your vehicle with this light on, after awhile\

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.
If Your Vehicle is Equipped with 08D 11
Certain vehicles are equipped with a new emission diagnostic sy\
stem. You
can
tell whether your vehicle has this system by reading your tune-up l\

instructions apply.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON Light)
Your vehicle is equipped with an onboard computer which monitors
operation
of the emission control system. This system is called OBD I1
(On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended
to assure that
emissions are at acceptable levels for the life
of the vehicle, helping to
produce a cleaner environment. The “SERVICE ENGINE

comes on to indicate when service is required. Malfunctions oft\

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine indicated by the system before any problem is apparent, which may prevent
more serious damage to your vehicle, This system is
also designed to assist
your service technician in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
The
“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light should come on, as a check to show
you it is working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not running. This
light will also come during
a malfunction in one of two ways:
Light on steady - indicates a system malfunction has been detected.
Drive the vehicle to the dealer for service at your first opportunity.
Light flashing - indicates a misfire has been detected which may
damage the emission control system. The damage may be reduced by
lowering the vehicle speed, reducing the amount of cargo being hauled
or trailered, avoiding hard acceleration, or by avoiding steep uphill
grades.
If these actions are effective, the light will stop flashing and
remain
on steady. Drive the vehicle to a dealer for service. If the light
continues to flash, stop
the vehicle. Wait for a steady light to come on,
then drive the vehicle to a dealer for service.
These following conditions also may cause the “SERVICE ENGINE
SOON’ light to come on:
Low Fuel/Out of Fuel - As the vehicle starts to run out of fuel the
“SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light may come on as a result of an engine
misfire. Filling your gasoline tank should correct this condition. Make sure
to install the gas cap fully. It will require a few driving trips to turn the light
off.
Poor Quality Fuel
- Be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel. Your
engine may not run efficiently
on poor fuel. Poor fuel may cause stalling,
hesitation or misfire. These conditions may
go away when the engine is
warned-up. However, poor quality fuel may cause the “SERVICE ENGINE
SOON’ light to come on.
Have a dealer check the vehicle. If no problems are found, you may want to
change to another brand of fuel.
Driving Through Standing Water
- Driving your vehicle through puddles
of deep standing water may result in a temporary misfire condition. This
condition will usually correct itself shortly after the electric\
al system dries
out. It will require a few driving trips to turn the light off.

Trailer Wiring Harness
Your vehicle will have a 5-wire and may have a 7-wire harness.
The light duty trailer wiring is a 5-wire harness assembly taped and bundled
at the left corner
of the vehicle. The harness has no connector, and you
should have
a qualified service person wire your harness for you.
The heavy duty trailer wiring is
a 7-wire harness assembly. It is stored
under the vehicle, along the passenger-side frame crossmember on
two-door vehicles and on the driver-side corner frame crossmember on
four-door vehicles. It has a 30-amp feed wire with an inline fuse located by
the junction block. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index.
Both the 5-wire harness and the 7-wire harness have no connector and
should be wired by a qualified service person. Attach the harness to the
trailer, then tape or strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough
so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags on the ground.
Store the harness
in its original place. Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly
so it won’t be damaged.
