Charging System Light - Chevrolet 2008 Uplander Owner's Manual

If, after several seconds, both status indicator lights
remain on, or if there are no lights at all, there may be
a problem with the lights or the passenger sensing
system. See your dealer/retailer for service.
CAUTION:
{
If the airbag readiness light in the instrument
panel cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. If this ever happens, have
the vehicle serviced promptly, because an
adult-size person sitting in the right front
passenger's seat may not have the protection
of the airbag(s). See Airbag Readiness Light
on page 3-37 for more on this, including
important safety information.

Charging System Light

It should go out once the engine is running. If it stays on,
or comes on while you are driving, you may have a
problem with the charging system. A charging system
Driver Information Center (DIC) message may also
appear. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-58
for more information. This light could indicate that you
have problems with a generator drive belt, or another
electrical problem. Have it checked right away. If you
must drive a short distance with the light on, be certain
to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio and air
conditioner.
This light will come on
briefly when you turn on
the ignition, but the engine
is not running, as a
check to show you it
is working.
