Have you recently changed brands of fuel?
If
so,
be sure to
fuel
your vehicle with quality fuel (see
“Fuel” in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may
notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you
put the vehicle into gear,
misfiring,
hesitation
on
acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once
the
engine is warmed up.)
This will be detected by the system and cause the light
to turn
on.
If you experience one or more of these conditions,
change the fuel brand you use. It will require at least one
hll tank of the proper fuel to turn the light
off.
If none of the above steps have made the light turn off,
have your dealer or qualified service center check the
vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment and
diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed.
Oil
Pressure
Light
If
you have a problem with
your oil, this light may stay
on after you start your
engine,
or
come on when
you are driving.
This indicates that there is not enough pressure to keep
your engine properly lubricated and cool. The engine
could be low on oil, or have some other oil related
problem. Have it fixed right away.
The oil light could also come
on
in
three other situations.

When the ignition is
on
but the engine is not running,
the light will come on as a test
to
show you it is
working, but the light will go out when you turn the
engine to START.
If
it doesn’t come on with the
ignition on, you may have a problem with the fuse or
bulb. Have it fixed right away.
Sometimes when the engine is idling at a stop, the
light may blink on and off. This is normal.
If you make a hard stop, the light may come on for a
moment. This
is
normal.
