yeah cool shift light. I dont have one of those :(

The 4 speed AT does not have a shift light. Not sure what country this cluster this from?

Uh..no. The low gas light is the yellow light near the "E" in the previous picture. The green one definitely says Shift

oooh. I was looking at the yellow dot. I see what you guys are talking about now. I have a shift light in my jeep wrangler. The most useless thing in the car. It will tell you to shift at 2k rpm and while you speed up from there will turn off. I'm glad that they didn't include it.

That image is from the Detroit 2003 Auto Show

Hmm interesting so on the oil light.

I had the recall done but they didn't replace the oil pan, instead they "reprogrammed" it.

However I haven't notice the oil light lighting up when the key is inserted etc.

Wonder if they just disabled it....Hmmmmmm

Hey do you know if its due to the Tires being over filled or under filled with air?
Thanks

You'll get a TPMS light if tires are OVERinflated as well as underinflated. When I picked my 8 up at the dealer the day I bought her, the light came on as I was driving home (110 degree July day) and I pulled out the manual to figure out what that weird ( ! ) meant as soon as I parked in my garage. I checked my tire pressures and they were all over 70psi!

One of the things dealers are supposed to do during that 100 point new car inspection is deflate the tires, since they're all pumped up to maximum pressure to prevent them from flat-spotting on the long boatride over here from Japan. Needless to say, many dealers don't bother doing this.

Odd.....wanna test to see if it works?

Well done. This image is from a pre-production car after all. I suspect the image I posted earlier is pre-prod too, I got it off an American website.

LOL no not by running out of oil, but next time I get in will turn the car on and see it lights up with all the other lights.

There is another way.

tell me tell me tell me!!!!
this is soooo suspenseful!!!

I wouldn't be a shifty bastard if there wasn't some suspense.....

Seven minutes is up...I'm a weak, soft touch shifty bastard...

Ok....here's the deal.

Key off.....hold the odometer reset button.....key to ignition....wait.....cluster goes into test mode. Press odo reset button to step through the instrument cluster test. Some tests test the gauges, another tests the rev beeper, one of them tests the cluster indicators.

All good clean fun. Key off to exit test mode.

Cheers,
Gomez.

Ooooo, purty. Does anyone else find it interesting that the rev needle goes miles past 10k revs (I'd say to about where 12-13k would be)?

Woot! Thanks for the 'easter egg of the week' Gomez. Gotta go try that now.

You can compare the picture of the cluster in one of the previous messages with my cluster:

There is no (obvious) shift indicator, and the door/seat-belt lights have moved.

i've seen mine go almost to the digital speedomter.. and it wasn't in test mode... it involved 2nd gear at 100 mph..... that the only thing that happened too.

OOOUUUCCCHHHH!!!! Intentional?!? :rock:

short answer- check with a guage

long answer-
is it a colder morning than you have had recently when the light comes on? did you park outside when you normally park in your garage? was the last time you checked your tires in the summer and now its winter? then they are under filled.

unless you just purchased the car at the dealer and it came from the truck the day before than you probably have over filled tires.


if its summer and the last time you put air in it was winter or its hotter than normal or you just purchased the car at the dealer and it came from the truck the day before than you probably have over filled tires.

unless there is a nail in your tire - then they are probably under inflated

I'd say they are underinflated. My car's tire pressure was less the night I got it.

OK thanks zoom44 an NgoRX8, I do think my tires are underindlated.
