Malfunction Indicator Light (Mil) Inoperative

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Isuzu VehiCROSS, 2000 Isuzu Trooper, 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, 2000 Isuzu Amigo, and 2000 Honda Passport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Perform On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD-II) System Check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II (OBD-II) SYSTEM CHECK in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - INTRODUCTION article. After performing OBD-II system check, go to next step.
  2. Attempt to start engine. If engine does not start, go to step  6. If engine starts, go to next step.
  3. Check METER fuse (15-amp) located in dash fuse box. If fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is blown, go to step  16.
  4. Turn ignition on. Using test light connected to ground, probe ignition feed circuit at instrument cluster. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  13.
  5. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. Connect a jumper wire between ground and MIL control circuit at PCM harness connector. Turn ignition on. If MIL comes on, go to step  10. If MIL does not come on, go to step  11.
  6. Check ENGINE fuse (15-amp) and PCM fuse (15-amp). If fuses are okay, go to next step. If fuses are blown, go to step  15.
  7. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using test light connected to ground, probe ignition feed circuits at PCM harness connectors. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step  12.
  8. Using test light connected to ground, probe battery feed circuit at PCM harness connector. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If the test light does not illuminate, go to step  14.
  9. Check for faulty PCM ground connections. Repair as necessary. If connections are okay, go to next step.
  10. Check PCM harness connectors for damaged terminals. If any terminals are damaged, repair as necessary. If PCM harness connector terminals are okay, go to step  17.
  11. Check for an open in MIL control circuit between PCM and MIL. Repair as necessary. If circuit is okay, go to step  18.
  12. Substitute PCM main relay with a known-good relay. PCM main relay is located in fuse/relay box in engine compartment. Observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, replace PCM main relay. If MIL still does not operate, go to next step.
  13. Repair open in ignition feed circuit between PCM main relay and dash fuse box.
  14. Repair open in PCM battery feed circuit between PCM and fuse/relay box located in engine compartment.
  15. Repair short to ground in PCM ignition feed circuit or PCM battery feed circuit. See appropriate wiring diagram in WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Replace fuse.
  16. Repair short to ground in ignition feed circuit between instrument cluster and dash fuse box. Replace fuse.
  17. Replace and reprogram PCM. See PROGRAMMING . Verify proper system operation.
  18. Check MIL driver circuit for poor connection at instrument cluster connector. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found, diagnose problem in instrument cluster. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
