Service Engine Soon
Vehicle Control Module (VCM), also referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is equipped with a self-diagnostic system which detects system failures or abnormalities. When a malfunction occurs, VCM will store a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and, in most cases, illuminate the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light, also referred to as Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on instrument cluster. For additional information on VCM self-diagnostic system, see appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
