(1) Upper Indicator Light
Indicates the upper indicator light is on.
(2) Alternator Indicator Light
Indicates if the battery charging system is
operational. The light will come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position.
The light should go off after the engine is
started, indicating the alternator is
producing sufficient voltage to charge the
battery. If the light turns on with the
engine running, check the alternator
charging system for a malfunction.
WARNING
If the alternator light (2) flickers, there may be a
problem in the charging function of the
equalizer. Contact a nearby service center to
protect the batteries from being damaged.
(3) Diesel Engine Start Preheat Indicator Light
The light will come ON when the key is
turned to the ON position from the OFF
position. This indicates that the glow plugs
are preheating the pre-combustion
chambers for easier starting-up.
The amount of time needed to preheat the
pre-combustion chambers is approximately seven
seconds, depending on the surrounding air
temperature. When the light goes OFF the
maximum pre-combustion chamber temperature
has been reached and the key can be turned to
the START position to start the engine.
