that the vehicle is not ready for I/M testing. See the Readiness for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing
in the Maintenance and
Specifications
chapter.

Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board
Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to
OBD-II in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter. 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 by your
authorized dealer.

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 may not be properly
installed. Continued driving with
this light on may cause the Check
engine warning light to come on,
refer to Fuel filler cap in the Maintenance and Specification chapter.

Brake system warning light: To
confirm the brake system warning
light is functional, it will
momentarily illuminate when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
when the engine is not running, or in a position between ON and START,
or by applying the parking brake when the ignition is turned to the ON
position. If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this
time, seek service immediately from your authorized dealer. Illumination
after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the
brake system should be inspected immediately by your authorized dealer.

Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning light on is
dangerous. A significant decrease in braking performance may

occur. It will take you longer to stop the vehicle. Have the vehicle
checked by your authorized dealer. Driving extended distances with
the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and the risk of
personal injury.
