DESCRIPTION

The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is used to indicate malfunction detections by the ECM.
By turning the engine switch on (IG), 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 engine switch on (IG) is first 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 using the intelligent tester.
