indicator light stays lit after the
you start the engine, 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 servicing your vehicle.
See Emission Control System (page 166).
If the light is blinking, the engine is misfiring.
This could damage your catalytic
converter. Drive in a moderate fashion
(avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have an authorized
dealer service your vehicle immediately.
Note: If your engine is misfiring, excessive
exhaust temperatures can damage the
catalytic converter or other vehicle
components.

However, if after 15 seconds the service
engine soon light blinks eight times, it
means that the vehicle is not ready for
inspection maintenance testing. See
Emission Control System (page 166).
