The condition is usually corrected when the electrical system dries out. A few driving trips should turn the light off. Check that good quality fuel is used. Poor fuel quality causes the engine not to run as efficiently as designed and can cause: stalling after start-up, stalling when the vehicle is changed into gear, misfiring, hesitation on acceleration, or stumbling on acceleration. These conditions might go away once the engine is warmed up. See Recommended Fuel on page 9‑39. If none of the above have made the light turn off, your dealer can check the vehicle.

See your dealer if assistance is needed. The vehicle may not pass inspection if: .

The diagnostic system evaluates critical emission control systems during normal driving. . If one or more of these conditions occurs, change the fuel brand used. It will require at least one full tank of the proper fuel to turn the light off.
