DESCRIPTION
The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is used to indicate vehicle malfunctions detected by the ECM. By turning the ignition switch to ON, power is supplied to the MIL circuit, and the ECM provides the circuit ground which illuminates the MIL.
The MIL operation can be checked visually. When the ignition switch is turned to ON, the MIL should be illuminated and should then turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated or is not illuminated, conduct the following troubleshooting procedure. If the ECM detects any trouble, the MIL illuminates. At this time, the ECM records a DTC in the memory.

CHECK IF ENGINE STARTS |
(a) Start the engine.
Result |
Proceed to |
---|---|
Engine starts |
A |
Engine does not start* |
B |
HINT:
*: The Techstream cannot communicate with the ECM.
B | ![]() |
GO TO VC OUTPUT CIRCUIT |
|
6. |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE) |
(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
