2015 DODGE VIPER oil temperature

18. DID Red Telltale Lights
When the appropriate conditions exist, the following DID
Red Telltale Lights will display:
•Engine Temperature
This telltale warns of an overheated engine
condition. As temperatures rise and the gauge
approachesH, or 260°F, this telltale will illu-
minate, and a single chime will sound after reaching
a set threshold. Further overheating will cause the
temperature gauge to passH, or 260°F.A continuous
chime will occur until the engine is allowed to cool.
If the telltale turns on while driving, safely pull over
and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it
off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not
return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in
“What To Do In Emergencies” for more information.
•Charging System
This telltale shows the status of the electrical
charging system. If the telltale stays on or
comes on while driving, turn off some of the vehicles
non-essential electrical devices or increase engine
speed (if at idle). If the charging system telltale
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing
a problem with the charging system. Obtain SERVICE
IMMEDIATELY. See an authorized dealer.
Refer to “Jump Starting Procedures” in “What To Do
In Emergencies” if jump starting is required.
•Oil Pressure Warning
This telltale indicates low engine oil pressure.
If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A
chime will sound for four minutes when this light
turns on.

Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is cor-
rected. This light does not show how much oil is in
the engine. The engine oil level must be checked
under the hood.
•Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
This telltale informs you of a problem with
the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) sys-
tem. If the telltale comes on while driving,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
If a problem is detected, the telltale will come on
while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when
the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever
is placed in the NEUTRAL position and the parking
brake applied. The telltale should turn off.
If the telltale remains lit with the engine running,
your vehicle will usually be drivable. However, see
an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If
the telltale is flashing when the engine is running,
immediate service is required. You may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
•Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates high engine oil tem-
perature. If the light turns on while driving,
stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as
soon as possible. A chime will sound for
four minutes when this light turns on.
•Door Ajar
This telltale turns on when one or more
doors are ajar. The telltale will show which
doors are ajar.
