check the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the

Specificationschapter. If the light is blinking, engine misfire is occurring
which could damage your catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior
floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.
