    Default Inspection light

    Hi to everyone

    the inspection light (the one with the small clock comes on with the oil inspection lights when the key is set to 'on' and once the engine is running, everything goes away after a few seconds

    Is it normal? I did not notice that, its just today that came across that.

    Default Inspection service

    is supposed to happen at this time.

    There is inspection 1 and inspection 2 where different things are inspected and replaced each service period.

    If you dont have good maintenence records the whole inspection should be performed and periodic replacement items replaced and or serviced such as brake fluid, antifreeze, power steering fluid, oil, trans fluid, rear end fluid water pump, thermostat, hoses etc etc.

    Or you could just reset the lights and forget all about it.
