Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The automatic transmission control module (TCM) can also request that the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lights.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lights when the ignition is switched on but the engine is not running. This indicates that the lamp itself is working.

The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) lights when the engine control module (ECM) has detected an emission-related fault. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) goes out is the engine control module (ECM) senses that the fault has disappeared.
