Rolando,
You got me to wondering, so I went out and checked mine.
The ACE light only comes on when it is overheating.
Speaking of the ACE, have you ever serviced yours, if not you should consider doing that or it will give you very expensive fits.

Hi,
The main thing with ACE is to renew the filter in the block. Its simple enough to do, just ensure you clean all the external components before removing the filter, this is to avoid ANY dirt or debris getting into the system. The filters "sometimes" are known to be well stuck in, but they do normally come out ok, they are removed by screwing in a M6 bolt to pull it out, but dont "twist" it, just a straight pull.
Renew filter and "O" ring, refit cap and tighten to 15lbs ft
Then its simply check the fluid level and top up as needed after running the car for 2 mins.
Also, the dash ACE light "should" light with the ignition in postion 2, then go out after 2-3 secs. It performs a self check when the ignition is initially switched on

At nearly $60 plus a piece for a filter the size of my little fingers first joint, I usually advise people to remove and clean if they are concerned about their ACE's performance.
