Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
1. The malfunction indicator lamp will light up when the ignition
switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb
check.
+If the malfunction indicator lamp does not light up, refer to EL
section (``WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME'') or see EC-188.
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MIL illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel ®lter. Drain water from
fuel ®lter.

MIL will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been
detected.
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
