Powertrain Fault

Illuminates when a powertrain
or high-voltage charge system
fault has been detected. If the

indicator stays on or continues to come on,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

Ready to Drive

E144692

It will illuminate once the vehicle
has been switched on and is
ready to drive. A corresponding

message may display stating ready to
drive.

Service Engine Soon

If the service engine soon
indicator light stays illuminated
after the engine is started, it

indicates that the On Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction
of the vehicle emissions control system.
Refer to On board diagnostics (OBD) in
the Fuel and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control System
(page 143).

If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.

Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.

The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first turned
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether the vehicle is ready
for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.

Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until the engine is cranked, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
I/M testing. See Emission Control
System (page 143).

(page 161).
