СИСТЕМА SFI MIL Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is used to indicate the detection of vehicle malfunctions by the ECM. When the engine switch is turned on (IG), power is supplied to the MIL circuit and the ECM provides the circuit ground which illuminates the MIL.

The MIL operation can be checked visually. When the engine switch is first turned on (IG), the MIL should be illuminated and should then turn off when the engine is started. If the MIL remains illuminated or is not illuminated, conduct the following troubleshooting procedure using the GTS.

  5. CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED


    1. Check if the MIL is illuminated when the engine switch is turned on (IG).

      OK
      MIL is illuminated.

    NG

    CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS Click here

    OK

    END

  6. CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS


    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    2. Start the engine.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Engine starts A
      Engine does not start* B
