2007 CHEVROLET KODIAK brake light

If the light comes on, use this chart to determine
what action to take.
Water In Fuel Light
Problem Recommended Action
Light comes on
intermittently.Drain water from the
fuel filter.
Light stays on at
temperatures above
freezing.Drain the fuel filter
immediately. If no water
can be drained and the
light stays on, see your
dealer for assistance.
Light stays on at
temperatures below
freezing.Drain the fuel filter
immediately. If no water
can be drained, water
may be frozen in the
water drain system, or in
the fuel lines. Move the
vehicle to a warm location
to thaw out, and then
drain the filter system.
Light stays on
immediately after
refueling, and a large
amount of water was
possibly pumped into the
fuel tank.Fuel tank purging is
required. See your dealer
for assistance.
Notice:If you drive when this warning
indicator is on, you can damage your fuel
injection system and your engine. If the
indicator comes on right after you refuel, it
means water was pumped into your fuel tank.
Turn off your engine immediately. Then,
have the water drained at once.
To drain water, do the following:
1. Stop and park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn
off the engine and apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the fuel cap.
3. Place a fuel-resistant container under the fuel
filter. The filter drain valve is located on the
bottom of the fuel filter.
If your vehicle has the 6.6L engine, the fuel
filter is located in the engine compartment on
the driver’s side of the vehicle. If your
vehicle has either the 7.2L or 7.8L engine, the
fuel filters are located in the engine
compartment on the driver’s side of the
vehicle, and on the driver’s side frame rail in
front of the fuel tank.

To reset the Engine Oil Life System, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully apply and hold the brake pedal while
you fully press and release the accelerator
pedal, pausing slightly at each press and each
release, three times within five seconds.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when
you start your vehicle, the Engine Oil Life
System has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
The engine air
cleaner/filter is located
in the center of the
engine compartment.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle has an
air cleaner/filter change
indicator, inspect the
indicator at every
oil change and replace
the filter when the
indicator tells you to.
For vehicles without a change indicator, inspect
the air cleaner/filter at every oil change and
replace the filter at the first oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km).
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
Locate the filter change indicator. When the
change indicator turns black or is in the red/orange
change area, replace the filter and reset the
indicator.

Power Steering Fluid
SeeScheduled Maintenance on page 363to
determine when to check your power steering fluid.
How To Check Power Steering Fluid
Check your power steering fluid only when the
engine is warm. If the engine is not warm, you
probably will not get an accurate reading.
If the fluid level is between the MIN (Minimum) and
MAX (Maximum) marks, you have enough. If you
need fluid, add only enough of the proper fluid to
bring it in between the MIN and MAX marks.
If your power steering fluid level is low, this can
cause the brake or service brakes soon warning
lights to come on. In addition, the steering
effort and emergency brake distance could
increase.If either light remains on after you have added
power steering fluid to the proper level, then shut
off the engine for 10 seconds. This should
reset the brake warning lights. If one or both lights
stay on, see “Hydraulic Brake System Warning
Lights” underBrake System Warning Light
on page 169for more information.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to use, see
Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 397.
Notice:When adding power steering uid or
making a complete uid change, always
use the proper uid. Failure to use the proper
uid can cause leaks and damage hoses
and seals.

Four-Wheel Disc Brakes
(Hydraulic Only)
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a
brake squeal when the brakes are first applied
or lightly applied. This does not mean something
is wrong with the brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as
complete axle sets.
Four-Wheel and Six-Wheel Drum
Brakes (Air Only)
The brake drums should be removed and
inspected each time the tires are removed for
rotation or changing. When you have the
front brakes replaced, have the rear brakes
inspected, too.
Brake linings should always be replaced as
complete axle sets.
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return
to normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in
pedal travel. This could be a sign that brake service
is needed.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, the brakes
adjust for wear.
Brake Adjustment on Air Braked
Vehicles
Your vehicle has automatic slack adjusters.
Every time you make a brake stop, the brakes
automatically adjust for wear. Slack adjusters
should never be manually adjusted to correct
excessive brake chamber pushrod stroke.
Excessive brake chamber pushrod stroke means
that the brake system needs to be serviced by
a qualified service technician.
Notice:Do not manually adjust automatic slack
adjusters. Manual adjustment of the automatic
slack adjusters can result in a degradation of
the slack adjuster performance over time.
If the brake chamber pushrod stroke is out of
adjustment, the brake system needs to be
serviced by a qualied service technician.

Notice:Ignoring these steps could result in
costly damage to your vehicle that would
not be covered by your warranty.
Trying to start your vehicle by pushing or
pulling it will not work, and it could damage
your vehicle.
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a
12-volt battery (or batteries) with a negative
ground system.
Notice:If the other vehicle’s system is not a
12-volt system with a negative ground,
both vehicles can be damaged. Only use
vehicles with 12-volt systems with negative
grounds to jump start your vehicle.
If you have a diesel engine vehicle with
two batteries (or more), you should know
before you begin that, especially in cold
weather, you may not be able to get enough
power from a single battery in another
vehicle to start your diesel engine.
If your vehicle has more than one battery, use
the one closest to the starter — this will
reduce electrical resistance.2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper
cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles are
not touching each other. If they are, it could
cause a ground connection you do not
want. You would not be able to start your
vehicle, and the bad grounding could damage
the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling,
set the parking brake firmly on both vehicles
involved in the jump start procedure. Put
an automatic transmission in PARK (P) or a
manual transmission in NEUTRAL before
setting the parking brake. If you have a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the transfer
case is in a drive gear, not in NEUTRAL.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other
accessories on during the jump starting
procedure, they could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.
Always turn off your radio and other
accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the
cigarette lighter or accessory power outlets.

Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit
breaker in the light switch. An electrical overload
will cause the lights to go on and off, or in
some cases to remain off. If this happens, have
your headlamp wiring checked right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a
circuit breaker inside the motor and a circuit
breaker or fuse in the fuse block. If the motor
overheats, the wipers will stop until the motor
cools. If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge
sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt
in an overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible
links. The size is printed on the insulation. If the
insulation is burned beyond recognition, consult
your dealer for the proper size. Replace a fusiblelink with one of the same size and insulation type.
Fusible link insulation is a special purpose
high-temperature material.
Some examples of circuits with fusible links are
the hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit, the
generator output circuit, and the intake heater
feed circuit in vehicles with a diesel engine.
Power Windows and Other
Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the
current load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens.
This protects the circuit until the current load returns
to normal or the problem is fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected
from short circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit
breakers, maxi-fuses and fusible links. This greatly
reduces the chance of a fire caused by an electrical
problem. There may be a fuse taped to the wiring
harness near the hydraulic brake booster.
