"Parthenon" warning light?

brandonsupra · 01-23-2007, 07:22 PM

What does this indicate has gone wrong? I looked in my Haynes manual and can't find anything. The light comes on the farthest left part of the dash display, it's yellow in color and just shows a small picture of what looks to be the Parthenon in Athens. Any ideas?

Lol @ Parthenon. Its also known as the birdcage. It just low on coolant in the resovoir bottle. Fill it up to the line and it should go away. Make sure the radiator is full and check for some coolant leaks just to make sure its not just a low coolant level.

Thanks! This makes total sense because I though I had a BHG yesterday...I was smoking from the hood and I traced to the far left side by the head gasket just above the trans and close to the exhaust manifold. I could see a stream of coolant...and my sources say that usually BHG are internal and have the usual symptoms...of which I had none other than smelling coolant. I think the hose connecting to the heater core has burst or is leaking profusely...but yeah this explains why the light is coming on!!! heh
