Circuit/System Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is located on the instrument panel cluster (IPC).

The MIL informs the driver that an emission system fault has occurred and that the engine control system requires service. The engine control module (ECM) performs a self test for the MIL lamp and its circuitry by commanding the MIL ON and OFF every time the engine is started. The ECM monitors the MIL control circuit for conditions that are incorrect for the commanded states of the MIL.

Ignition voltage is supplied to the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The engine control module (ECM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit.
