INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS The charge condition of the two 12 Volt batteries is monitored to make sure that both batteries are being charged equally. The Equal Fault Light will illuminate if more than a 0.85 volt variance between the two batteries is detected. (35) CHECK TRANS LIGHT The ATEC system has a built in computer that monitors various functions and performances. When the computer senses that the system is not performing properly, the CHECK TRANS light comes "On" to warn and alert the operator that a problem has occurred and that the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. The CHECK TRANS light will come "On" when the ignition is turned "On".
After about two seconds, the light will go "Off". This provides a light bulb check and a system check. In cold weather, when the transmission oil is below -10 o F (-23 o C), the DO NOT SHIFT lights on the range selector and the CHECK TRANS light will stay on after the engine is started. The transmission will stay in NEUTRAL, regardless of which range is selected until the oil is warmer than -10 o F (-23 o C). When the transmission oil warms up, the CHECK TRANS and DO NOT SHIFT lights will turn off and the transmission will operate in first gear or reverse only. At 20 o F (-7 o C), the transmis- sion may be operated safely in all ranges. HB5014 4/94 Instruments and Controls HB5-9
