Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) function, checking
If emissions-influencing malfunctions are recognized by the control module, they are indicated by the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) being switched on.





The MIL is integrated into the instrument panel in the tachometer.

Notes: When a recognized malfunction switches on the MIL, it will either blink or light continuously. In either case, DTC memory must be checked.

^ If the MIL starts to blink, there is a malfunction that can lead to damage of the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC). In this case, driving should only continue using reduced power. The malfunction must be repaired as soon as possible.
^ If the MIL lights continuously, there is a malfunction that affects exhaust emissions. In this case, DTC memory must be checked, and the malfunction must be repaired as soon as possible.
^ Some malfunctions may occur without causing the MIL to come on. When driveability or performance problems are reported, and there is no indication from the MIL, the operation of the MIL must be checked. In addition, DTC memory must be checked, as there may be malfunctions stored that do not switch the MIL on immediately.

Functional check of Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
- Switch ignition on: MIL must light up.
If the MIL does not light up with ignition switched on and engine not running:
- Check DTC memory and, if necessary, check wiring per wiring diagram, or replace lamp.
- Start engine and let idle: MIL must switch off after several seconds.
If MIL does not switch off after starting the engine:
- Check DTC memory.

Conditions for recognizing a driving cycle (Dcy)
A driving cycle (Dcy) is complete when the ignition has been switched on one time, the engine started, the engine start recognized by the control module and the ignition switched off again.
