2002 CADILLAC ELDORADO charging

2-69 Charging System Indicator Light
When you turn the ignition
to RUN, this light will
come on briefly to show
that the generator and
battery charging systems
are working properly.
If this light stays on, your vehicle needs service.
To save your battery until you reach the dealership,
turn off all accessories.
Brake System Warning and Parking Brake
Indicator Light
Your vehicle's hydraulic brake system is divided into
two parts. If one part isn't working, the other part can
still work and stop you. For good braking, though,
you need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.
Have your brake system inspected right away.
This light should come on
briefly when you turn
the ignition key to RUN.
If it doesn't come on then,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there's
a problem.

2-80 DIC Messages
These messages will appear if there is a problem sensed
in one of your vehicle's systems. Vehicles that are first
sold in Canada will have a number after each message.
This number helps to identify the message which is
only displayed in English.
Pressing the INFO or NO INFO RESET button(s)
will remove most of the following messages from the
DIC display:
APPLY BRAKE TO SHIFT
- 46: This message
will appear if your vehicle is in PARK (P) for about
15 seconds and the brake is not pressed. On the climate
control panel, press the OFF button (next to the MODE
button) and the down arrow on the PASS TEMP button
for about five seconds. Hold the same two buttons to
display the message again.
BATTERY NOT CHARGING
- 7: This message will
appear if the battery is not being charged. Have the
electrical system checked by your dealership at your
earliest convenience.BATTERY VOLTAGE HIGH
- 8: This message
shows that the electrical charging system is
overcharging (more than 16 volts). To avoid being
stranded, have the electrical system checked by your
dealership. You can reduce the charging overload by
using the accessories. Turn on the lamps and radio, set
the climate control on AUTO and the fan speed on HI,
and turn the rear window defogger on. You can monitor
battery voltage on the DIC by pressing the SKIP INFO
button. The normal range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts when the
engine is running.
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW
- 6: This message
will appear when the electrical system is charging
less than 10 volts or if the battery has been drained.
If this message appears immediately after starting,
it is possible that the generator can still recharge the
battery. The battery should recharge and may take a
few hours to do so. Consider using an auxiliary charger
to boost the battery after returning home or to a final
destination. (Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions when using a battery charger.)
