MIL Operation

ACTIVATION OF MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT




1. When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine off), the malfunction indicator light (1) in the combination meter illuminates.

NOTE: If the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate, perform diagnostics of the malfunction indicator light circuit or the combination meter circuit.




2 After starting the engine, the malfunction indicator light goes out. If it does not, either the engine or the emission control system is malfunctioning.




3. If the diagnosis system senses a misfire which could damage the catalyzer, the malfunction indicator light will blink at a cycle of 1 Hz.




4. When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine off) or to START with test mode connector connected, the malfunction indicator light blinks at a cycle of 3 Hz.
