Low Oil Pressure Indicator This indicator should never come on when the engine is running. If it starts flashing or stays on, the oil pressure has dropped very low or lost pressure. Serious engine damage is possible, and you should take immediate action. On Touring models 1. Safely pull off the road and shut off the engine. Turn on the hazard warning lights. 2. Let the vehicle sit for a minute. Open the hood, and check the oil level (see page 545 ). An engine very low on oil can lose pressure during cornering and other driving maneuvers. 3. If necessary, add oil to bring the level back to the full mark on the dipstick (see page 614 ). 4. Start the engine, and watch the oil pressure indicator. If it does not go out within 10 seconds, turn off the engine. There is a mechanical problem that needs to be repaired before you can continue driving (see Emergency Towing on page 683 ). You will also see a ''CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL'' message on the multi-information display when this indicator comes on. Taking Care of the Unexpected Running the engine with low oil pressure can cause serious mechanical damage almost immediately. Turn of f the engine as soon as you can saf ely get the vehicle stopped. 2011 Odyssey 669
