Safety Check

OPERATION
After switching on the ignition, the Electronic Throttle Control (EML) control unit checks its vital components (safety check) and causes the EML warning lamps to light for approx. 2 seconds. The purpose of this is to check whether the EML warning lamp can be set in the event of a defect. If a defect of priority 8 to 15 occurs, then the EML warning lamp lights. The EML system reduces the output if the EML warning lamp cannot be set due to a defect in the lamps or corresponding lines.
