WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.

Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Service engine soon: The Service engine soon indicator light illuminates when the ignition is first turned to the ON position to check

the bulb. Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the On Board Diagnostics System (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction. Refer to

On board diagnostics (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.

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.

10

2003 Econoline (eco)

Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt)

USA English (fus)

Instrument Cluster

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 dealership. Illumination after releasing the parking brake indicates low brake fluid level and the brake system should be inspected immediately by your servicing dealership.

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 dealer immediately.

Brake reserve system warning

BRAKE

(if equipped): Illuminates to

 

indicate normal Hydromax booster

 

reserve system activation when the

 

engine is OFF and the service brake

 

pedal is applied.

 

This light may also illuminate momentarily if the engine is running and the driver turns the steering wheel fully in one direction while braking.

If the light remains on while the engine is running, this indicates inadequate hydraulic booster pressure or reserve pump system failure. Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible and seek service immediately.

Anti-lock brake system: If the

ABS light stays illuminated or ABS continues to flash, a malfunction has

been detected, have the system serviced immediately. Normal

braking is still functional unless the brake warning light also is illuminated.

Air bag readiness: If this light fails to illuminate when ignition is turned to ON, continues to flash or remains

on, have the system serviced

immediately. A chime will also sound when a malfunction in the supplemental restraint system has been detected.

Safety belt: Reminds you to fasten your safety belt. A chime will also sound to remind you to fasten your safety belt.

Charging system: Illuminates when the battery is not charging properly.

Low fuel: Illuminates when the fuel

LOW

level in the fuel tank is at, or near

empty (refer to Fuel gauge in this

FUEL

chapter).

Oil pressure/Engine coolant:

 

Illuminates when any of the

 

following conditions has occurred:

 

The engine coolant temperature

 

is high.

 

The engine oil pressure is low.

 

Transmission control indicator

light (TCIL): Illuminates when the

overdrive function of the OVERDRIVE transmission has been turned off,

refer to the Driving chapter. If the

light flashes steadily, have the system serviced immediately.

Turn signal: Illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard lights are turned on. If the

indicators stay on or flash faster, check for a burned out bulb.

High beams: Illuminates when the high beam headlamps are turned on.

Key-in-ignition warning chime: Sounds when the key is left in the ignition in the OFF/LOCK or ACC position and the driver’s door is opened.

Headlamps on warning chime: Sounds when the headlamps or parking lamps are on, the ignition is off (and the key is not in the ignition) and the driver’s door is opened.

GAUGES

Speedometer: Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Engine coolant temperature gauge: Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the needle will be in the normal range (between “H” and

“C”). If it enters the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.

Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot.

Odometer: Registers the total kilometers (miles) of the vehicle.

Trip odometer: Registers the kilometers (miles) of individual journeys. To reset, depress the control.

Battery voltage gauge: Indicates

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the battery voltage when the

vehicle’s electrical system checked

as soon as possible.

Engine oil pressure gauge:

Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal

operating range (between “L” and “H”). If the needle falls below the

normal range, stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine

oil level. Add oil if needed. If the oil

level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your dealership or by a qualified technician.
