6-12 Instruments and warning lamps
10 Automatic transmission warning lamp
<Automatic transmission vehicle>
This lamp comes on when the starter key is turned
to “ON”. It should go out in a few seconds.
The illumination of this lamp indicates a fault in the
automatic transmission electronic control system. If
the lamp illuminates, stop the vehicle in a safe
place, turn the starter key to the “ACC” position to
stop the engine, then start the engine again. In cer-
tain circumstances, the on-board computer may
reset itself, allowing normal operation to continue.
If the fault does not rectify itself or the warning lamp
signals abnormal condition again soon later, have
an authorized dealer carry out a check.
Even with the electronic control system malfunction-
ing, the vehicle can be driven in a “limp-in” mode
whereby gearshifts will be made per the table
below.
11 Engine overheating warning lamp
This lamp illuminates if the engine overheats. With
the engine overheated, the needle in the coolant
temperature gauge is in the red zone.
Promptly stop the vehicle, then run the engine at a
speed slightly higher than the idling speed until the
coolant has cooled down. Also, take other steps
that are necessary following overheating of the
engine. P. 13-7
CAUTION
Be sure to stop the engine only after letting it
run at a speed slightly above the idling RPM
until the coolant cools down. Turning off the
engine immediately after stopping will cause the
coolant temperature to rise quickly and may
cause the engine to seize up.
