WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Description
In this function ECM turns on or blinks MIL when it detects a malfunction in the emission control system components and/or the powertrain control components (which affect vehicle emissions) to inform the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
Operation Procedure
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check that MIL illuminates.
If it remains OFF, check MIL circuit.
