Malfunction Indicator Lamp

(Service Engine Soon Lamp)
Located In the instrument panel, this
lamp illuminates under a variety of con-
ditions when the On-Board Diagnostics
II (OBD II) system detects a malfunction
in the vehicle's emission controls. If it is
lit steadily, check the gas cap to ensure
that it is present and securely fastened.
Turn it clockwise until a "ratcheting"
sound is heard, signaling that it is
secure. If this is the cause of the condi-
tion, a few driving trips with the cap
installed properly should turn the light
off.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
