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.
Note: The instrument cluster will self-test when the ignition is turned on. During this self-test you may hear an audio buzz and/or the gauges will sweep. This is normal operation
Stop engine: If this red warning light illuminates while driving, the vehicle’s cooling system may be overheating or the engine oil pressure may be dangerously low. An audible tone will also sound when this light is illuminated. Safely pull off the road as soon as possible and stop the engine. Continuing to drive while this light is illuminated may result in extensive engine damage. Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL): This amber warning light
will illuminate to display any emissions-related issues. Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.
18
2006 Low Cab Forward Truck (lcf) Supplement USA (fus)
Instrument Cluster
Warn engine: If this amber warning light illuminates while driving, a problem in the electronic engine controls has been detected. Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.
Wait to start: With the key in the ON position, this amber light will illuminate if the glow plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait until the light goes off before starting. The light should always illuminate briefly, when the ignition key is in the ON position. Refer to Starting the engine and Cold weather operation in the Driving chapter. After the engine starts, the light should remain off. The light should always illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is cold and the ignition is turned to ON. If it does not illuminate, the glow plug system should be checked and repaired promptly to avoid difficulty in cold starting.
To reduce the risk of death or personal linjury and the potential
for damage to the engine, do not use volatile starting aids such as ether, propane or gasoline in the air intake system. The glow plugs will ignite any of the vapors.
Water in fuel: During refueling, it is possible for water-contaminated diesel fuel to be pumped into your tank. Your vehicle fuel system is equipped with a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The amber WATER IN FUEL light will illuminate when the HFCM has a significant quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the HFCM. Refer to Fuel filter/water separator in the Maintenance and Specifications section for the drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is moving.

Brake fluid: This red light illuminates when the brake fluid is low. An audible tone will also sound when this light is illuminated. Check the brake master cylinder reservoir to make sure the fluid level is OK, add if necessary (refer to Brake fluid in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for proper checking and adding procedure). If the level is OK, but the light stays illuminated, do not drive the vehicle as loss of braking ability may occur. Have the vehicle towed to your local dealership or authorized service center.
Driving a vehicle with the brake fluid 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.
Parking brake warning: This red light illuminates when the parking brake is engaged.
Anti-lock brake system: This amber light momentarily illuminates when the ignition is in the ON position. If the light stays illuminated or continues to flash, a malfunction has been detected; have the system serviced immediately. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake fluid warning light also is illuminated. If the ABS light is not functioning, the trip odometer display will show “No ABS Ind”.
Check trans: This amber light momentarily illuminates when the ignition is in the ON position. If this light stays illuminated, a problem has been detected and the shift pattern may be in default operation (starts in 5th gear or Drive). Operating limitations may be placed on the transmission upshifting and downshifting patterns. Have the system serviced immediately as transmission damage may occur.
