I got my car used so I did not have manual, for a whole week, the light right below the L as low oil indicator showing up after the car starts, it is there for 10 to 20 seconds then off, what is it ? and I also try to down load the manual but get no luck, anybody please hepl. thank.

 

I would check your oil first. The Oil should be between the top dot and top line. If there is enough oil and the light still comes on the oil level sensor may be bad. Mazda as a TSB for it http://www.finishlineperformance.com...13-04-1341.pdf

 

Definitely check the oil. If your car is old enough that the dipstick does not have dots, the oil level should be closer to the top line than the bottom. Preferably right at the top line.

What year is your 8? Where have you been trying to download the manual?

04 6mt, under the L letter, couting from the bottom is service engine light, battery light, oil light and ? light, the ? light is what it is for? , I just check, the oil level is perfect, closes to the top hi line.

 

what does the light look like? I didn't get a manual either and i think i know what you mean but mine is when i rev it up alot (in N had to test somethign)

 

rectangular shape with a roof on the top, look like a house?

 

yeah i know the exact problem just happened today I left work and the CEL was on I was like WTF so got home tightened the gas cap (filled up last night) disconnected the battery and light went away so I reved it up to redline just to make sure everything was running ok and the "house" light came on then shut off at like 6k did it again and it happened again...but now it didn't do it... i didn't get a manual either so it woujld b nice to know what this means?

 

That is the low engine coolant light. Check your coolant level.

Also note that if coolant is at normal level then the sensor could be going bad. It is a know problem and there are a couple of things you can do:

1. Replace the coolant reservoir tank since the sensor is built into it.

2. The other is to unplug the sensor, and check your coolant level regularly.

 

^that's what I thought it might b but I was not positive about it...i know mine was getting towards the ADD line on the resivour so when she cools down i'lll go check it out

 

its most likley the battery light, if it comes on after he cranks it then goes off. The batter is weak after cranking the engine and then goes off once the battery gets recharged

maybe?

 

thanks, I will check my coolant, i think it is hard to see min-max line on the resevoir, but anyway I will add some thing in.

 

*shurgs*

read your manual

if u dont have one. FIND IT ONLINE ! Argh !

 

I tried online but been unlucky to find one, any link?

 

The tank is translucent. If you shine a good light down from the top (put a flashlight right on it),then look at the side, you can see the level a lot better. Not perfect, since your view is from an angle, but well enough to check the level.
