Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)




Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

When emission-related ECU detects a malfunction in the emission control systems components and/or the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions), it turns on/blinks MIL to inform the driver that a malfunction has been detected.





1 The MIL illuminates when ignition switch is turned ON (engine is not running).

NOTE:
Check the MIL circuit if MIL does not illuminate. Refer to [Service Information for Electrical Incident: Work Flow] Service Information for Electrical Incident: Work Flow.

2 When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.

NOTE:
If MIL continues to illuminate/blink, perform self-diagnoses and inspect/repair accordingly because an emission-related ECU has detected a malfunction in the emission control systems components and/or the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions).
