Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light; Engine Coolant Temperature Gage - Chevrolet 1996 Tahoe Owner's Manual

Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
ANTI
-
LOCK
With the anti-lock brake
system, this light will
come on when you start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That's normal.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you're driving,
your vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light isn't on, you still have brakes, but you
don't have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, you don't have anti-lock brakes
and there's a problem with your regular brakes. See
"Brake System Warning Light" earlier in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key to RUN. If the
light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there is a problem.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the engine
coolant temperature.
It also provides an indicator of how hard your vehicle is
working. During a majority of the operation the gage
will read 2 10
O F
(
100
"
C) or less. If you are pulling a
load or going up hills, it is normal for the temperature to
fluctuate and approach the 260"F( 160°C) mark. If the
gage. reaches the 260"F( 160°C) mark, it indicates that
the cooling system is working beyond its capacity.
In "Problems on the Road," this manual shows what to
do. See "Engine Overheating" in the Index.
