Security Light
Low Oil Level Light
Your engine is equipped
with an oil level monitoring
system. When the ignition
key is turned on, the LOW
OIL light will briefly flash.
If the light does not flash,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there's
a problem.
If the light stays on, stop the vehicle on a level surface and
t u r m the engine off. Check the oil level using the engine oil
dipstick. (See "Engine Oil" in the Index.) If the light does
not flash, have the low oil level sensor system repaired so
it will be ready to warn you if there's a problem.
The oil level monitoring system only checks oil level
during the brief period between key on and engine
crank. It does not monitor engine oil level when the
engine is running. Additionally, an oil level check is
only performed if the engine has been turned off for a
considerable period of time, allowing the oil normally in
circulation to drain back into the oil pan.
This light will come on
when you turn the key to
START and stay on until the
vehicle starts. It will also
come on and stay on if your
key is too dirty or wet for
the PASS-Key@II system to
read the resistor pellet.
If the resistor pellet is damaged or missing, the light will
flash.
If you're driving and the light comes on and remains on,
your PASS-Key% system is not working properly.
Your vehicle is not protected by PASS-Key@II, and you
should see your dealer.
