Unknown warning light
Sunday, June 25, 2006 7:05 PM
I have a light on the right side of my console and i have no idea what it is. Neither of my last 2 cars had a light that looked anything like this. I would look in the book but it didnt come with the car. I guess the previous owner lost it. It lights up yellow, its kind of rectangular with a line on top and on each side. Since it came on the other day, everything is driving great so i figure its not too too important. Any ideas? Oh and i have a 2003 cavi. I really need to finish my profile haha.

I believe you are describing the "Check engine light" or "MIL" indicator. If this light is coming on and off you should get your car scanned of OBD II codes.

Its a very important light, Its your check engine light, or CEL for short.

Go to an Auto zone, and have the code scanned. With the code you can figure out what is wrong.

Nope, its free scan.
