“While driving the malfunction indicator light came on. I pulled the VAN over and shut it off to read the owner's manual, which states certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. May illuminate the light after engine start. The vechile should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vechile will drive normally and will not require towing. The malfunction indicator light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. …”
