Oil Pressure Gage; Reduced Engine Power - Chevrolet 2001 Express Van Owner's Manual

NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this light
on, after a while, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.

Reduced Engine Power

See "Engine Overheating" in the Index for
further information.
2-64
The REDUCED ENGINE
POWER light will come on
when the cooling system
temperature gets too hot
and the engine further
enters the engine coolant
protection mode.

Oil Pressure Gage

Oil pressure may vary with engine speed, outside
temperature and oil viscosity, but readings above the
low pressure zone indicate the normal operating range.
A reading in the low pressure zone may be caused by a
dangerously low oil level or other problem causing low
oil pressure. Check your oil as soon as possible.
The oil pressure gage shows
the engine oil pressure in psi
(pounds per square inch)
when the engine is running.
Canadian vehicles indicate
pressure in kPa (kilopascals).
