CHECK
OIL
LEVEL
The
CHECK
OIL LEVEL
light is lit for three seconds
as a bulb check each time
the ignition key is turned to
the
RUN
position. If the
light doesn’t come on, have
your vehicle serviced.
If the engine oil is more than one quart low, the light
will come on briefly, then go off for 15-25 seconds, and
then come back on for
20-40
seconds.
However, the system will not register low engine oil if it
has not been more than eight minutes since the engine
was shut off.
If the CHECK
OIL
LEVEL
light comes back
on,
the
engine oil should be checked at the dipstick then
brought up to the proper level if necessary. See “Engine
Oil” in
the
Index.

This light is activated by the
Engine
Oil
Life Monitor
System. The Engine Oil
Life Monitor determines the
condition of the engine oil
and lets you know when the
oil should be changed. See
“Engine Oil” in the Index.
It does this by electronically receiving data from the
Powertrain Control Module. The data
it
receives
contains information about engine speed (revolutions
per minute), coolant temperature and vehicle speed. The
Engine
Oil
Life Monitor uses this data to determine how
much the oil has degraded.
