Light turns on solid:

Temporary malfunctions may cause the light to illuminate. Examples are:

1. The vehicle has run out of fuel.

2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

3. The fuel cap may not have been properly installed and securely

tightened.

These temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the fuel tank

with high quality fuel of the recommended octane and/or properly

installing and securely tightening the fuel cap. After three driving cycles

without these or any other temporary malfunctions present, the light

should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup followed

by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is required.

If the light remains on, have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Light is blinking:

Engine misfire is occurring which could damage your catalytic converter.

You should drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and

deceleration) and have your vehicle serviced at the first available

opportunity.

Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures

could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel system, interior

floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

Check fuel cap

Illuminates when the fuel cap is not

installed correctly. Check the fuel

cap for proper installation. When

the fuel filler cap is properly

re-installed, the light(s) will turn off

after a period of normal driving. Continuing to operate the vehicle with

the check fuel cap light on, can activate the Service Engine Soon/Check

Engine warning light.

It may take a long period of time for the system to detect an

improperly installed fuel filler cap.

For more information, refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and

care chapter.
