Safe operation of the vehicle may require shifting
differently than Indicated by the "Upshift" light to
adapt to weather, road or traffic conditions.
Downshifting one or more gears may be required
to keep the engine running smoothly or to maintain
satisfactory performance.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT
The engine oil pressure warning light is mounted
in the instrument cluster and is controlled by a pressure
operated switch located on the side of the engine block.
When the ignition switch is in the "run" or "start"
position, the oil pressure light should come on. If not,
the bulb is burned out, or there is an open circuit
between the bulb and the oil pressure switch or between
the oil pressure switch and the choke heater. After the
engine is running, the oil pressure light should go out
when the oil pressure reaches the correct specification.
If not an oil pressure problem, a faulty oil pressure
switch or an open circuit from the choke heater fuse to
the oil pressure switch is indicated.
"CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT
All cars will have a "CHECK ENGINE" light
mounted in the instrument cluster. The "CHECK
ENGINE" light should come on during engine
starting. The light will stay on a short time after the
engine starts. If the light comes on while driving,
service to the emission control system may be required.
See Section 6E and 8A for complete diagnosis and
wiring diagrams of the "CHECK ENGINE" light
circuit.
