it doesnt necessarily mean its gas it can be your engine oil or some other type of oil. or tempt.
Check engine light off, codes cleared; cold start. -warm up engine 5 minutes (or until closed loop is reached--5 min is usually plenty) -drive (w/ steady throttle) at a steady speed between 40 and 60 mph for 8 min -stop and idle 3 min -drive (w/ steady throttle) at a speed above 20 mph for 2 min -turn key off, leave off 10 min

RED means DEAD do not drive...(Overheating or no oil pressure) Orange CHECK ENGINE light is a sensor or code in the emissions system....read up it to fix Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and a professional shop manual should be available at your local library for diagnostic procedures etc, just make copies of the right pages, as they are usually REFERENCE only...read up and good luck :)
If your check engine light is blinking that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected . You can drive it in for repair , just avoid any rapid aceleration or deceleration because you can damage the catalytic converter
symptoms of a bad sensor will be , engine cutting out then starting again as you drive. cutting out then being able to restart when vehicle is stopped. hard starting. if left long enuff before replacing, you will not be able to restart
That depends on exactly why the light is on.
check gages
The check gages light on the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am means to check temperature, low oil possibly, water. These are to be kept maintained for the car to run properly.
Oil pump. pick-up or drive if level is ok and assuming gauges accurate.
check gages mean your gas low you have to get gas
gage of temperature go to hot position but is not hot the engine check gages light come on
check the plug to trans might of fallen off or broken
One of the gauges is out of its normal range. Check them and see which one.
You cannot drive in this lane.
I have an 01 Pontiac sunfire and I have noticed that the check gages light comes on when the gas is low. I have never seen any other indicator come on for low fuel.
yes it is not
When the check gauges light comes on then that means you have either lost all oil pressure are the engine is running HOT. It only has 2 functions and these are it.
