(CONT.)
The oil light could also come on in three
other situations:
When the ignition is on but the engine
is not running, the light will come on
as a test to show you it is working, but
the light will go out when you turn the
ignition to
Start. If it doesn't come on
with the ignition on, you may have a
problem with the fuse or bulb. Have it

Sometimes when the engine is idling
at a stop, the light may blink on and
off. This is normal.
If you make a hard stop, the light may
come on for a moment. This is
normal.

Check Oil Light
This light should come on briefly when
you turn
your ignition key to Run. It
also comes on and stays on when the oil
level in your vehicle is low. If this
happens, park your vehicle in a level
place, check your oil level and bring the
engine oil up to its proper level.

the
Index under Engine Oil.
