SFI SYSTEM MIL Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is used to indicate vehicle malfunctions detected by the ECM.

When the ignition switch is turned to ON, 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 ignition switch is first turned to ON, 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 intelligent tester.

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED


    1. Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the table below.

  2. CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

    3. Check if DTCs have been stored. If DTCs are present, write them down.

    4. Clear DTCs Click here.

    5. Check that the MIL turns off.

      OK
      MIL turns off.

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)


    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Check that MIL is not illuminated.

      OK
      MIL is not illuminated.

    4. Reconnect the ECM connector.


    OK

    REPLACE ECM Click here

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    2. Disconnect the combination meter connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F1-11 (CHK) - A58-27 (W) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F1-11 (CHK) or A58-27 (W) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the combination meter connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.


    OK

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

  5. CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED


    1. Check if the MIL is illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON.

      OK
      MIL is illuminated.

    OK

    END

    NG

  6. CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS


    1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    2. Start the engine.

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

      Tech Tips

      *: The intelligent tester cannot communicate with the ECM.
