A
computer monitors
operation
of
your fuel,
ignition and emission
control systems. This amber
light should come on when
the ignition is on, but the
engine is not running, as a
check to show you it is
working.
If it does not come
on
at all, have it fixed right away. If
it stays on, or it comes on while you are driving, the
computer is indicating that you have
a
problem. You
should take your vehicle in for service soon.
NOTICE:
If
you keep
driving
your vehicle with this light on,
after
a
while the emission controls won’t work
as
well, your fuel economy won’t be
as
good
and
your
engine may not
run
as
smoothly.
This
could lead to
costly repairs not covered by your warranty.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
-1
OIL
PRESS
PSI
The engine oil pressure gauge shows the engine
oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch) or
kPa (kilopascals) when the engine is running. Oil
pressure should be
20
to
80
psi
(140
to
550
Ea). It
may vary with engine speed, outside temperature and oil
viscosity, but readings above the shaded area show the
normal operating range. Readings in the shaded area tell
you that the engine is low on oil, or that you might have
some other oil problem. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.
