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 SOON light 
comes on  to indicate that  there is a problem and service 
is  required. Malfunctions  often will be indicated  by the 
system before any problem  is apparent.  This may 
prevent more serious damage  to your  vehicle.  This 
system  is also designed  to assist your service technician 
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction. 
~OTICE: 
If  you  keep  driving  your  vehicle  with  this  light 
on,  after  a  while,  your  emission  controls  may  not 
work  as well,  your  fuel  economy  may  not  be  as 
good  and  your  engine  may  not  run  as smoothly. 
This  could  lead  to  costly  repairs  that  may  not  be 
covered  by  your  warranty. 
This  light should come on, as  a check to show you it  is 
working, when the ignition is on and the  engine is not 
running.  If the  light doesn’t come on, have  it repaired.

This  light will  also come on during  a malfunction  in one 
of  two ways:

vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis 
and  service  may be required. 
0 Light  On  Steady -- An emission control system 
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle. 
Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and 
service  may be required. 
If the  Light Is Flashing

your vehicle: 
Reducing vehicle speed. 
Avoiding  hard accelerations. 
0 Avoiding  steep uphill grades. 
0 If  you are towing  a trailer, reduce the amount of 
cargo being hauled  as soon as it is possible.

and remains on steady,  see “If
