Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
(If Equipped)
Malfunction Indicator
Lamp
(Check Engine Light)
If your vehicle is equipped
with the gage cluster, you
have a gage that shows the
engine coolant temperature.
If the gage pointer moves
into the red area, your
engine is too hot!
That reading means the same thing as the warning light.
It means that your engine coolant has overheated. If you
have been operating your vehicle under normal driving
conditions, you should pull
off the road, stop your
vehicle and turn
off the engine as soon as possible.
The engine coolant temperature gage indicates the
coolant temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. The
Canadian instrument panels indicate
the coolant
temperature in degrees Celsius.
In the section “Problems on the Road,” this manual
explains what to do. See “Engine Overheating” in
the Index.
CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped
with a computer which
monitors operation of the
fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called
OBD
I1 (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the
life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment. The CHECK ENGINE light comes on to
indicate that there is a problem and service
is required.
Malfunctions often will be indicated by the system
before any problem is apparent. This may prevent more
serious damage to your vehicle. This system is also
designed to assist your service technician in correctly
diagnosing any malfunction.
