light CADILLAC FLEETWOOD 1996 2.G Owner's Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
If you keep driving your vehicre with this light
on, after a while, your emission controls may not
work as well, your fuel economy may not be as
good and your engine may not run as smoothly.
This could lead to costly repairs that may not be
covered by your warranty.
This light should come on, as a check to show you it is
working, when the ignition is on and the engine is not
running.
If the light doesn’t come on, have it repaired.
This light will also come on during a malfunction in one
of two ways:
Light Flashing -- A misfire condition has been
detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and
may damage the emission control system on your
vehicle. Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and service is required.
Light On Steady -- An emission control system
malfunction has been detected on your vehicle.
Dealer or qualified service center diagnosis and
service may
be required. The following
may prevent more serious damage to
your vehicle:
0 Reduce vehicle speed.
0 Avoid hard accelerations.
0 Avoid steep uphill grades.
0 If towing a trailer, reduce the amount of cargo being
hauled as soon as it is possible.
If the light stops flashing and remains on steady, see “If
the Light Is On Steady” following.
If the light continues to flash, when it is safe to do so,
stop the vehicle. Put your vehicle in PARK (P). Turn the
key
off, wait at least 10 seconds and restart the engine.
If the light remains on steady, see
“If the Light Is On
Steady” following.
If the light is still flashing follow the
previous steps, and drive the vehicle to your dealer or
qualified service center for service.

You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:
Did you just put fuel into your vehicle?
If
so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully install
the cap. The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel
cap has been left off or improperly installed. This will
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere.
A few
driving trips should turn the light
off.
Did you just drive through a deep puddle of water?
If
so, your electrical system may be wet. The condition
will usually be corrected when the electrical system
dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light
off.
Are you low on fuel?
As your engine starts to run out of fuel, your engine may
not run as efficiently as designed since small amounts of
air are sucked into the fuel line causing
a misfire. The
system can detect this. Adding fuel should correct this
condition. Make sure to install the fuel cap properly.
It
will take a few driving trips to turn the light off. Have
you recently changed brands of fuel?
If
so, be sure to fuel your vehicle with quality fuel (see
“Fuel”
in the Index). Poor fuel quality will cause your
engine not to run as efficiently as designed. You may
notice this as stalling after start-up, stalling when you
put
the vehicle into gear, misfiring, hesitation on
acceleration or stumbling on acceleration. (These
conditions may go away once the engine is warmed up.)
This will be detected by the system and cause the light
to turn on.
If you experience this condition, change the fuel brand
you use. It will require at least one full tank of the
proper fuel to turn the light
off.
If none of the above steps have made the light turn off,
have your dealer or qualified service center check the
vehicle. Your dealer has the proper test equipment
and
diagnostic tools to fix any mechanical or electrical
problems that may have developed.

This light comes on as a
bulb check when you start
the engine. If
it doesn’t, be
sure to have it fixed
so it
will be there
to warn you if
something goes wrong.
When
this light comes on and stays on, it means oil isn’t
going through your engine properly. You could be low
on oil, or
you might have some other oil problem.
Don’t keep driving if the oil pressure is low. If
you do, your engine can become so hot that it
catches fire. You or others could be burned.
Check your oil as
soon as possible and have your
vehicle serviced.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your engine from neglected oil
problems can be costly and
is not covered by
your warranty.

11 This light should come on
while you are starting your
engine provided that your
LOW
OIL LEVEL
engine has been off long
enough to let most
of the oil
drain back into the oil pan.
During frequent stopping and starting, the light will
not always come on as you
start the engine.
If it doesn’t come on, have it repaired. If the light comes
on and stays on, the engine oil level is too low. Check the
oil level and add enough oil to bring the engine oil level
up to the proper level.
See “Engine Oil” in the Index.
Change Oil Light t
CHANGE OIL
The CHANGE OIL light
should come on briefly as
a bulb check when you
start the engine. If the
light doesn’t come on,
have it serviced.
If the CHANGE OIL light comes on and stays on for
20 seconds after you start the engine, have the oil
changed. The light may indicate to change the oil sooner
than suggested in your maintenance schedule, depending
on your driving patterns. The light is activated by the
Oil Life Inlcator which determines the condition of the
oil but doesn’t sense heavy dust in the air or check the
oil level. Therefore, you should change your oil at the
intervals recommended in your maintenance schedule or
when the CHANGE OIL light comes on, whichever
comes first. See “Engine Oil” in the Index.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset.
With the ignition key in the
RUN position but the engine
off, fully push and release the accelerator pedal three
times within five seconds. If the
CHANGE OIL light
flashes two times, the system is reset. However,
if the
light comes on and stays on for five seconds, it did not
reset. You’ll need to reset the system again.
