Malfunction Indicator
A Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located within the odometer Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) unit.
The MIL indicator consists of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for Engine in the VFD display. The odometer VFD unit is soldered onto the cluster electronic circuit board, and is visible through a window with a smoked clear lens located on the lower edge of the tachometer dial face of the cluster overlay. The dark lens over the VFD unit prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. The MIL icon appears in an amber color when it is illuminated by the cluster electronic circuit board, and the MIL as well as all of the odometer VFD information is illuminated at full (daytime) brightness and cannot be dimmed until the MIL is extinguished.
The MIL is serviced as a unit with the VFD unit in the instrument cluster.
