If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, the
vehicle does not have antilock
brakes and there is a problem with
the regular brakes. Pull off the
road and stop carefully. Have the
vehicle towed for service.
See "Brake System Warning Light"
earlier in this section.
If the Brake System Warning Light
and the Antilock Brake System
Warning Light both turn on and
you hear a ten second chime,
there may be a problem with the
dynamic rear proportioning
system.
See "Dynamic Rear Proportioning"
under "Brakes" in Section 3 for
more information.
Malfunction Indicator Light
This light monitors the fuel,
ignition and emission control
systems.
This light should come on when
the ignition is on but the engine is
not running, as a check to show
you it is working properly.
If it doesn't come on, then have it
fixed so it will be ready to warn
you if there is a problem.
If it stays on or comes on while
you are driving, there may be a
problem with this system.
Have it checked right away.
Section 1
If the light flashes, a misfire has
been detected.
If the light is flashing:
• reduce vehicle speed
• avoid hard accelerations
• avoid going uphill
• if towing a trailer, reduce the
amount of cargo in the trailer
as soon as possible
If the light continues to flash, stop
and turn the ignition off, wait at
least 10 seconds and then restart
the engine.
If the light still flashes, take the
vehicle in for service.
If an emission control system
malfunction is detected, the light
will shine steadily.
