WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulb works.If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have
the respective system inspected immediately.
Service engine soon
Illuminates briefly to ensure the
system is functional. If it comes on
after the engine is started, one of
the engine’s emission control
systems may be malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a
driveability concern being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and
will not require towing.
Light turns on solid:
Temporary malfunctions may cause yourService Engine Soonlight to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.
These and other temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the
fuel tank with good quality fuel. After three driving cycles without these
or any other temporary malfunctions present, theService Engine Soon
light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup
followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is
required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.

Water in fuel (if equipped)
During refueling it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your fuel tank. Your
vehicle fuel system is equipped with
a fuel filter/water separator to
remove water from the fuel. The indicator light illuminates when the fuel
filter/water separator has a significant quantity of water, or when the
ignition key is switched to the START position. If the light illuminates
when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible,
shut off the engine and drain the filter bowl. Allowing water to stay in
the system could result in extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel
injection system.
To drain the fuel filter/water separator (refer toMaintenance and
Specificationschapter for procedure). Rotate the valve at the bottom of
the filter assembly allowing water to drain from the system. Close the
valve upon completion.
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is
moving.
Air clean warning (if equipped)
Illuminates when the air system is
restricted (dirty, clogged).
Turn signal
Illuminates when the left or right
turn signal or the hazard lights are
turned on. If one or both of the
indicators stay on continuously or flash faster, check for a burned-out
turn signal bulb. Refer toExterior bulbsin theLightschapter.
High beams
Illuminates when the high beam
headlamps are turned on.
