Check Engine Light

All vehicles are equipped with a CHECK ENGINE light, located on the instrument panel. Light will illuminate when ignition is turned on and engine is not running. Light should go out when engine is started. When CHECK ENGINE engine light remains on or flashes, with engine running, the self-diagnostic system has detected a problem. If problem goes away, light will go out after 10 seconds, but a trouble code will remain stored in the ECM memory.
