2GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: MIL Circuit
- MIL Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is used to indicate vehicle malfunctions detected by the ECM. By turning the ignition switch to ON, power is supplied to the MIL circuit, and the ECM provides the circuit ground which illuminates the MIL.
The MIL operation can be checked visually. When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the MIL should illuminate and should then turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated or does not illuminate, conduct the following troubleshooting procedure. If the ECM detects any trouble, the MIL illuminates. At this time, the ECM records a DTC in the memory.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
PROCEDURE
1. CHECK THAT MIL ILLUMINATES
(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Check the illumination of the MIL.
Result
B -- CHECK IF ENGINE STARTS
A -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Check if any DTCs have been stored. Note any DTCs.
(f) Clear the DTCs DTC Check / Clear.
(g) Check if the MIL goes off.
Result
B -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
A -- REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Check if the MIL is illuminated.
Result
Text in Illustration
(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
B -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - ECM)
A -- REPLACE ECM Removal
4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
(d) Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
(e) Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal
5. CHECK IF ENGINE STARTS
(a) Start the engine.
Result:
HINT
*: The Techstream cannot communicate with the ECM.
B -- GO TO VC OUTPUT CIRCUIT Component Tests and General Diagnostics
A -- Continue to next step.
6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE)
(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Text in Illustration
(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - ECM)
OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal
7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance (Check for Open):
(d) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(e) Reconnect the combination meter assembly connector.
NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY Removal
