Charge Warning Lamp - Mitsubishi FUSO FE 2006 Owner's Manual

With the starter switch in the "ON" position and the
engine not running, the warning lamp will stay on
even if the parking brake lever is released. The
lamp will go out if the engine is started.
1. Check the brake fluid level.
Replenish the reservoir if the level is too low.
2. Pump the brake pedal several times to make
sure that the fluid level does not drop.
3. If the fluid level drops, it indicates fluid leakage.
Call an authorized dealer.
4. If the warning lamp lights and the buzzer sounds
on FE85, never continue driving. Call an autho-
rized dealer.

3 Charge warning lamp

The charge warning lamp lights up when the starter
switch is turned to the "ON" position and goes out
as soon as the alternator starts charging the battery
after the engine has turned over.
The lamp also lights up if a problem occurs in the
battery charging system while the engine is running.
If this occurs, pull off the road as soon as it is safe to
do so, and perform the following checks.
1. Check for a broken V-belt. Also check belt ten-
sion.
Z10484
2. Check for a blown high-current fuse in the bat-
tery charging circuit. If blown, replace with a new
one.
3. If both the above checks have turned out nor-
mal, the problem is probably in the battery
charging system. Call an authorized dealer.
4 Engine oil pressure warning lamp
The engine oil pressure/level warning lamp lights up
when the starter switch is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion and goes out as soon as the engine is turned
over. If the lamp lights up while the engine is run-
ning, the cause may be an excessively low engine
oil pressure. Pull off the road as soon as it is safe to
do so, and perform the following checks.
1. Check the engine oil level. Add if insufficient.
2. Check various parts of the engine for any sign of
Z10476
oil leaks.
3. If the oil level is normal and there are no oil
leaks, the problem is in the lubrication system.
Call an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
When it is cold, the engine oil's viscosity is relatively
high and this may cause the warning lamp to stay
illuminated for a while even after the engine has
started. This is a normal condition.
CAUTION
Never continue driving with the lamp illumi-
nated. The engine could seize up.
