Stop and check your tires as soon as it is safe to do so. If underinflated, inflate to the proper pressure. See Tires on page 9-39for more information.

When the Light Flashes First and Then is Solid

Malfunction

Indicator Lamp

Check Engine Light

A computer system called OBD II (On-Board Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems. It makes sure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.

This light comes on briefly, as a check to show it is working, when the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. If the light does not come on, see your dealer/retailer.

If the light stays on it indicates that there is an OBD II problem and service is required.
