"ENGINE" Temperature Indicator

  1. On models with "ENGINE" indicator, oil pressure and temperature switches control lamp operation. Lamp should come on with ignition on.
  2. If not, check bulb, then disconnect lead from oil pressure switch and connect lead to ground. If lamp comes on, replace oil pressure switch. If lamp stays off, check circuit from oil pressure switch to indicator bulb.
  3. If lamp remains on with engine running and coolant temperature less than 249°F (121°C), disconnect leads from both switches. Light should go off. Connect oil pressure lead. If lamp comes on, replace switch. Connect temperature lead, if lamp stays on, check for short circuit from either switch to indicator lamp bulb.
