check engine light CHEVROLET CORVETTE 1995 4.G Owner's Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To Jump Start Your Corvette:
1. Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-volt
battery with a negative ground system.
NOTICE:
If the other system isn’t a 12-volt system with a
negative ground, both vehicles can be damaged.
2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching
each other.
If they are, it could cause a ground
connection
you don’t want. You wouldn’t be able to
start your Corvette, and the bad grounding could
damage the electrical systems.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Turn off all
lights that aren’t needed, and radios. This will avoid
sparks and help save both batteries. And
it could
save your radio!
NOTICE:
If you leave your radio on, it could be badly
damaged. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
4. Open the hoods and locate the batteries. Find the
positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine your brake fluid. Adding brake fluid won’t correct a
leak. If you add fluid when your linings
are worn, then
you’ll have too much fluid when
you get new brake
linings. You should add (or remove) brake fluid, as
necessary, only when work is done on the brake
hydraulic system. On
vehicles equipped with the
LT5 (Code J) engine, the
brake warning light will come on when your brake fluid
falls to a low level. See “Brake System Warning Light”
in the Index.
For vehicles equipped with the
LT1 (Code P) engine,
refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to
check your brake fluid. See “Periodic Maintenance
Inspections” in the Index.
To Check Brake Fluid
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap.
Just look at the brake fluid reservoir.
The fluid level
should be above the MIN mark on the reservoir. If it
isn’t, have your brake system checked to see
if there is
a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system, make
sure the level is between the MIN and MAX
marks.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Extended Mobility Tires (Option)
If your Corvette has optional Goodyear Extended
Mobility Tires (EMT’s), the tires will have “EMT”
molded on the sidewalls. Your vehicle may also have a
spare tire delete option. With the spare tire delete option,
there’s no spare tire, no tire changing equipment and no
place to store a tire in the vehicle. Extended Mobility
Tires perform
so well without any air that a Low Tire
Pressure Warning System (LTPWS) is used to alert you if
a tire has lost pressure.
A LOWELAT TIRE light will
appear on your Driver Information Center
if a tire’s
inflation pressure is less than
25 psi (170 kPa). If the
LOW/FLAT
TIRE light comes on, check your tire
pressures as soon as you can. See “Low Tire Pressure
Warning System” in the Index for additional information. If a
tire goes flat,
you won’t need to stop on the side of
the road to change the tire. You can just keep on driving.
The shorter the distance
you drive and the slower the
speed, the greater the chance that the tire will not have
to be replaced. If
you drive on a deflated EMT for
distances
of 50 miles (80 km) or less and at speeds of
55 mph (90 km/h) or less, there is a good chance that the
tire can be repaired. The tire can operate effectively with
no air pressure for up to 200 miles (320 km) at speeds
up to
55 mph (90 kmk), but the tire would then have to
be replaced. Also remember: When a tire is filled with
air, it provides a cushion between the road and the
wheel. Because you do not have this cushion when
driving on a deflated tire, try to avoid potholes that
could damage your wheel and require replacement of it.
Some road hazards can damage a tire beyond repair. This
damage could occur before you’ve driven on the tire
in a
deflated condition. Whenever a tire has been damaged, or
if you’ve driven any distance on a deflated EMT, check
with a Goodyear EMT Service Center to determine
whether
the tire can be repaired or should be replaced.
To maintain your vehicle’s extended mobility feature,
all replacement tires must be Extended Mobility Tires.
See the Goodyear Extended Mobility Tire Owner’s
Manual and Limited Warranty supplied with your
Corvette for additional information.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine There are three fuse centers on your vehicle. One is in
the right side of your instrument panel. Turn the knob
and pull the door to access the fuses.
The other two fuse blocks are in the engine
compartment. One
is part of the Forward Lamp wiring
harness
(A), and the other is part of the ECM-Engine
wiring harness
(B).
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band
is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure you
replace a bad fuse with a new one
of the correct size.
If you ever have a problem on the road and don’t have a
spare fuse, you can borrow one of the correct value. Just
pick some feature
of your vehicle that you can get along
without
-- like the radio or cigarette lighter -- and use
its fuse, if it is the size you need. Replace it as soon as
you can.
Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the switch. An electrical overload will cause the lamps
to
go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If this
happens, have your headlamp wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and a
fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers protect the power windows and other
power accessories. When the current load is too heavy,
the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the
circuit until the problem is fixed or goes away.
