MIL Illumination

MIL ILLUMINATION

For failures detected by the Transmission Controller that result in the controller placing the transmission into a limp-in mode, except for System Overvoltage and System Undervoltage DTCs, the MIL will be illuminated. The Transmission Control Module will inform the ECM over the CAN bus that a failure has occurred. The ECM will illuminate the MIL. If the condition is removed and the failure becomes Stored (Intermittent), the Transmission controller will stop reporting that the DTC is active and the ECM will extinguish the MIL.

NOTE: The MIL will light when the problem is first detected and it will not go off until the next ignition cycle, after all problem conditions have been checked for their presence. This normally takes several minutes of driving.
