Meaning of emissions MIL
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) lights up when emissions relevant malfunctions are recognized by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
NOTE:
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can blink or remain lit continuously. DTC memory must be checked in each case, see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 3: CHECK DTC MEMORY .
- Blinking: There is a malfunction that causes damage to the catalytic converter in this driving condition. In this case, vehicle must only be driven at reduced power!
- Continuously lit: There is a malfunction that causes increased emissions. Check DTC memory for Motronic control module.
- DTC memory must still be checked if there are driveability problems or the customer has made a complaint but the MIL is not lit, because malfunctions can be stored without causing the MIL to light immediately.
