Warning Lamps

Warning Lamps

Two warning lamps in the instrument are used to indicate faults with the engine management system. The engine malfunction lamp consists of an amber SERVICE ENGINE legend and is illuminated to indicate the detection of a non emissions related fault. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) consists of an amber SERVICE ENGINE SOON legend and is illuminated to indicate the detection of an emissions related fault. The ECM operates the warning lamps, by communicating with the instrument pack on the CAN bus. If a fault that can cause catalytic converter damage is detected, the warning lamps flash. For other faults the warning lamps are continuously illuminated.
