Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

In the case of an intermittent fault, the MIL may illuminate, and turn off after 3 trips. A corresponding diagnostic trouble code will be stored in the memory. Consult the Diagnostic Aids for the diagnostic trouble code. A physical inspection of the applicable sub-system can often resolve the problem.

A diagnostic trouble code that repeatedly illuminates the MIL may indicate an intermittent malfunction.
