If the Light is Flashing

The following may prevent more serious damage
to your vehicle:

Reducing vehicle speed

Avoiding hard accelerations

Avoiding steep uphill grades

If you are 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. Find a safe place to park
your vehicle. 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 see your dealer for service as
soon as possible.

If the Light Is On Steady

You may be able to correct the emission system
malfunction by considering the following:

Did you recently put fuel into your vehicle?

If so, reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. See

Filling the Tank on page 346

.

The diagnostic system can determine if the fuel cap
has been left off or improperly installed. A loose or
missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate into the
atmosphere. A few driving trips with the cap
properly installed 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.
