6-11
NOTE:
• The warning lamp will light up if the starter
switch is turned to the “ON” position when the
engine is not running. It goes out after the
engine is started if there are no problems.
• If the alternator is malfunctioning, the and
warning lamps may light up simultaneously
with the warning lamp.
• The buzzer stops sounding when the vehicle is
stopped and the parking brake is activated.
1. Check for a broken V-belt. Also check belt ten-
sion. P. 12-56
2. Check for a blown high-current fuse in the bat-
tery charging circuit. If blown, replace with a new
one. P. 13-10
3. If both the above checks have turned out nor-
mal, the problem is probably in the battery
charging system. Call an authorized dealer.
6 Engine oil pressure/clogged oil filter
warning lamp
The engine oil pressure/clogged oil filter warning
lamp lights up when the oil filter element is clogged
or the engine oil pressure becomes abnormally low.
Pull off the road as soon as it is safe to do so, stop
the engine, and perform the following inspection.
NOTE:
The amber and red warning lamp will light up
when the starter switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion and the engine is not running. It goes out after
the engine is started if there are no problems. In
cold climates, the warning lamp may remain illumi-
nated for a while after starting the engine due to
high viscosity of the engine oil.
• If the amber lamp lights up without buzzer
sounding
The oil filter element is clogged. Replace the ele-
ment as early as possible. P. 12-38
CAUTION
Continued driving with the lamp illuminated
may cause engine to seize up. Replace the ele-
ment as early as possible.
• If the red lamp lights up and buzzer sounds
The engine oil pressure is abnormally low.
1. Check the engine oil level. Add if insufficient.
P. 1 2 - 2 4
2. Check the engine for any trace of oil leaks.
