Pinpoint Test Y : The Mil Is Never Or Always On: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See MIL. Refer to Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) .
NOTE:
If DTC U0100:00 sets in the IPC, other observable symptoms can be an inoperative speedometer, tachometer or odometer.
If the engine MIL request message is missing or invalid for less than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the MIL to its last state (on or off) based upon the last message received.
If the engine MIL request message is missing for 5 seconds or longer, the IPC sets DTC U0100:00 in continuous memory and defaults the MIL on.
