After driving in protection mode, the engine oil will be severely degraded. When protection mode is in operation, drive to a safe location only and avoid extended mileage. A drop in engine performance will be noticed. This mode alternates firing groups of cylinders and helps to prevent engine damage. This in an override protection mode that operates when the engine is overheating. The warning text message: ‘ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED’ may display. Continued driving may cause severe engine damage. In this instance, stop the vehicle as soon as possible but allow the engine to idle. Check cooling fan and drive belts are operational.ĭepending on your version of Chevrolet Silverado, you may receive the warning text message: ‘ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE’. Before continuing your journey, wait several minutes for the coolant to cool and check levels. If this occurs under normal driving conditions, it may indicate low engine coolant levels or a leak in the system. If the needle on the temperature gauge moves into the red area, immediately pull off the road and switch off the engine. For the coolant temperature gauge, it may display temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Warning light name: Chevrolet Silverado coolant temperature warning light.ĭescription: High engine coolant temperature warning may be indicated by the coolant temperature gauge, a warning light or warning message. If the warning text message ‘ENGINE OIL HOT IDLE ENGINE’ displays Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and follow the above advice. If oil level is low and engine oil was added, only continue driving if the warning light has gone off.ĭepending on your version of Chevrolet Silverado, you may receive the warning text message: ‘OIL PRESSURE LOW STOP ENGINE’. If the engine oil level is within the acceptable level range, do not restart the engine and arrange to have the vehicle towed.
Wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the pan. Immediately stop the vehicle and switch off the engine if driving. Low oil pressure if left undiagnosed can cause severe engine damage, the likelihood of which isn’t covered by vehicle warranty. If a warning light illuminates or a text message is displayed or the oil pressure gauge warns of low pressure, it’s important to take immediate action. It’s normal for oil pressures to vary based on engine speed / load, outside temperature, coolant temperature and oil viscosity. For the oil pressure gauge, it displays pressures in kPa (kilopascals) or psi (pounds per square inch) when the engine is running. Warning light name: Chevrolet Silverado oil pressure warning light.ĭescription: A low oil pressure warning may be indicated by the oil pressure gauge, a warning light or warning message. Depending on your version of Silverado, the warning message ‘Service Air Bag’ may display. Common faults relate to the passenger sensing sensor or seat belt pretensioner system due to wear on the buckle or cabling around the seating area becoming disconnected. With the airbag warning light illuminated, there’s a risk of the airbag failing to deploy during an impact or the airbag may unexpectedly deploy without a crash taking place. If the warning light doesn’t come on at all, stays on constantly or comes on while driving, it indicates an electrical fault with the airbag system. Models applicable: Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, 3500ĭescription: This is the airbag readiness warning light and under normal circumstances it should come on for several seconds when the vehicle engine is started and go out shortly after.
