Emissions Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)





The emissions MIL can blink or remain lit continuously. In any case, DTC memory must be checked.

If malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is blinking

A malfunction exists that, under these driving conditions, may damage the catalytic converters. In this case, driving may only be continued at a reduced load (until the MIL goes out or remains constantly lit) and malfunction must be eliminated as quickly as possible!

If malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is constantly lit

A malfunction exists that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Engine Control Module (ECM) and automatic transmission.

For driveability problems or customer complaints where the emissions MIL is not lit, DTC memory must be checked after a function test of the MIL because malfunctions can be stored without causing the MIL to light up immediately.

EPC warning lamp





"EPC" is an abbreviation and stands for Electronic Power Control, also known as electronic throttle control system.

With the ignition on, the engine control module (ECM) switches the EPC lamp on.

After the engine is started, the engine control module (ECM) tests all components important to the function of the EPC system.

While these components are being tested, the EPC lamp stays lit for approx. 3 seconds. If a malfunction is detected during these tests, the lamp will remain lit constantly.

If malfunctions are detected in the EPC system during engine operation, the ECM switches on the EPC warning lamp. The malfunction is stored in DTC memory of ECM at the same time.
