WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Description

The MIL is located on the instrument panel.

The MIL is turned ON when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
- If the MIL is not turned ON, refer to "COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK ".
Turn OFF the MIL when the engine is started.

If the MIL remains ON, the on board diagnostic system has detected an engine system malfunction.
