DESCRIPTION

The MIL is used to inform the user when the ECM has detected a vehicle malfunction.
By turning the ignition switch ON, power is supplied to the MIL circuit, and the ECM provides the circuit ground that illuminates the MIL.
Operation of the MIL should be checked visually:
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the MIL should illuminate. When the engine is started, the MIL should turn off.

  1. Disconnect the E10 ECM connector.

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

  1. Check that the MIL is not illuminated.

    OK:
    The MIL is not illuminated.
