2. Pump the brake pedal several times. Check to
make sure that the brake fluid level does not
drop.
3. If the fluid level drops, it indicates fluid leakage.
Bring the vehicle to an authorized Sterling ser-
vice facility for repairs.
3 Alternator no charge warning
The alternator no charge warning illuminates as a
bulb check when the ignition switch is turned to
“ON.” It goes out when the engine is started and the
alternator begins to charge the battery.
This light also illuminates if a problem occurs in the
vehicle charging system while the engine is run-
ning. In that case, pull off the road as soon as it is
safe to do so, and perform the following checks.
1. Check for a broken alternator belt, and replace it
if necessary. Also check the belt tension, and
tighten the belt if necessary. P. 11-39
2. Check for a blown high-amp fuse in the vehicle
charging circuit. If blown, replace it with a new
one. P. 12-12
3. If both the above checks have turned out OK,
the problem is probably in the vehicle charging
system. Bring the vehicle to an authorized Ster-
ling service facility for repairs.
4 Low engine-oil pressure/level warning
The low engine-oil pressure/level warning illumi-
nates as a bulb check when the ignition switch is
turned to “ON.” Normally, it goes out soon after the
engine has started.
If the warning illuminates while the engine is run-
ning, the cause may be either low engine-oil level or
low engine-oil pressure. Pull off the road as soon as
it is safe to do so, and perform the following checks.
1. Check the engine oil level. Add oil if low.
P. 11 - 1 7
2. Check the engine for signs of oil leaks.
3. If the oil level is normal and there are no oil
leaks, the problem is in the lubrication system.
Contact an authorized Sterling service facility.
NOTE:
When it is cold, engine oil viscosity increases. This
may cause the warning light to stay on for a while
even after the engine has started. Wait until the light
goes out before moving the vehicle.
CAUTION
Never continue driving with the low engine-oil
pressure/level warning illuminated. The engine
could seize.
