Overheating Check Panel light

[Aus E30]

Just wondering if the overheating part on the left hand side is supposed to light up when you hit the *check* button?
Mine never has and its probably the most major one that should really be working =\

[jasonsnoddy]

you mean the bulb in the "coolant" box? mine does.

And it is not overheating, that is what your temperature gauge is for. It is for low coolant level in the reservoir.

[jasonsnoddy]

^^^^^^^^^^^^ +1 just throw some coolant in there

are you refering to the light under the Seatbelt and SRS?

are you refering to the light under the Seatbelt and SRS?

Yes that the one! Although I don't have seatbelt or SRS on there, only Overheat at the bottom, which doesn't light up when you hit the test button, just wondering if those panels should indeed light up with the test like the rest do.

hmm i do you have a picture? perhaps the USA and AUS versions are differ

Thats your catalyst temp warning light. Non-US market.

It does nto light up with the test button.
