Warning Light - Mason - 10-07-2007
What exactily does the Yellow Warning indicator that looks like a ! with the shape of a sun around it mean?
Mine stuck on this morning for some reason. Turned the car off and on and that was the last I seen of it.
All fluid levels are fine. Nothing leaks out of my card.
Coolant is new as of the start of the summer.
Battery post was a little bit loose but not enuf to hurt anything.

But, if you aren't getting enough voltage, because your battery post is loose, you never know what the computer is reading. So, if it was me, I'd tighten up the battery, and keep an eye on the drivability of the car.

Yeah when my Alt. was dying my warning lights were coming on an going off like a set of twinkle christmas lights. It was one funky light show. Now that its fixed I haven't seen any lights. As for the light your asking about not sure. Check the coolant level just to be sure.

Well I tightened the Positive cable a little but nothing big.
Can cant have been over heated. It was first thing in the morning.
+ coolant system was flushed less then 6months ago.
It hasnt come back on so im not gonna worry about it

I'm intrested to see how this pans out,,, I had the same issue at the Burlington bbq turns out it only happened when I nail second gear and a couple times going over rail road tracks... I took some timing out of my tune and it seems tamed... and the torque came back to my mid range like crazy so I'm thinking that had something to do with it... I'm going to add the timing back and flog it while data login tomorrow if it freaks out again it I'll post my graphs,
