Driving while this light is on could drain your battery. If
you must drive a short distance with the light on, turn
off your radio and other accessories.
Sustained driving with a generator failure could result in
a lack of back
-up braking if the engine quits or the
power steering pump should fail.
Voltmeter
When your engine is
running, the voltmeter
gage, at the lower left of
the instrument panel
cluster, shows the charging
system voltage.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
Readings in the low warning zone may occur when a large
number of electrical accessories are operating in the
vehicle and the engine is left at an idle for an extended
period. This condition is normal since the charging system
may not be able to provide full power at engine idle.
As engine speeds are increased, this condition should
correct itself because higher engine speeds allow the
charging system to create maximum power.
You can only drive a short time on the battery. Be sure
to shut off the radio, the fan or any unnecessary
accessories and have the system serviced.
Check Transmission Warning Light
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has the
Allison MD automatic
transmission, certain
transmission malfunctions
will turn this light on.
If this light comes on while you are driving, do not use
the transmission shift control. Using the transmission
shift control will result in the loss of forward gears. The
computer for the transmission senses a problem and
chooses a gear to stay in so that you can drive the
vehicle in that gear. You may not be able to drive as fast
or back up when this light is on.
