Charging System Light

The charging system light comes on

brieﬂy when the ignition is turned

on but the engine is not running,

as a check to show the light is

working. It should go out when the

engine is started.

If the light stays on, or comes on

while driving, there may be a

problem with the electrical charging

system. Have it checked by your

dealer/retailer. Driving while this light

is on could drain the battery.

When this light comes on, the Driver

Information Center (DIC) also

displays a message.

See Battery Voltage and Charging

Messages on page 4-30.

If a short distance must be driven

with the light on, be sure to turn off

all accessories, such as the radio

and air conditioner.

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 ensures that

emissions are at acceptable levels

for the life of the vehicle, helping

to produce a cleaner environment.

This light comes on when the

ignition is on, but the engine is not

running, as a check to show it

is working. If it does not, have

the vehicle serviced by your

dealer/retailer.

If the check engine light comes on

and stays on, while the engine

is running, this indicates that there

is an OBD II problem and service

is required.

Malfunctions often are indicated by

the system before any problem

is apparent. Being aware of the light

can prevent more serious damage

to the vehicle. This system assists

the service technician in correctly

diagnosing any malfunction.

Notice: If the vehicle is

continually driven with this light

on, after a while, the emission

controls might not work as well,

the vehicle’s fuel economy might

not be as good, and the engine

might not run as smoothly.

This could lead to costly repairs

that might not be covered by the

vehicle warranty.
