The traction control system warning light may come on
for the following reasons:
If there’s a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine
-related problem, the system will turn off
and the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light tells you that
the engine has overheated.
You should stop the car
and turn the engine off
as soon as possible.
A warning chime should also sound if this light comes on.
As a check, the light should come on for a few seconds
when you start your engine. See “Engine Overheating”
in the Index.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
United States Canada
This gage shows the engine coolant temperature.
If the gage pointer moves into the red area, the engine
is too hot.
That reading means the same thing as the warning
light
-- the engine coolant has overheated. See
“Engine Overheating” in the Index.
