ECD SYSTEM(w/o Glow Plug Controller) MIL Circuit

DTC Code DTC Name
MIL Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) 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 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 GTS.

Tip:

When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.

  2. CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

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

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