MPI – Troubleshooting13-21
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3
The engine warning lamp does not illuminate right after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
Probable cause
For checking for burnt-out bulb, the engine-ECU causes the engine warning lamp
to illuminate for five seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
If the engine warning lamp does not illuminate immediately after the ignition switch
is turned to ON, one of the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4
The engine warning lamp remains illuminating and never
goes out.
Probable cause
In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that the engine-ECU is detecting
a problem in a sensor or actuator, or that one of the malfunctions listed at right has
occurred.
Short-circuit between the engine warning lamp and
engine-ECU

Malfunction of the engine-ECU

may be suspected.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 24
Power supply system and ignition switch-IG system
Probable cause
When an ignition switch ON signal is input to the engine-ECU, the engine-ECU turns
the control relay ON. This causes system voltage to be supplied to the engine-ECU,
injectors and air flow sensor.
Malfunction of the ignition switch

Malfunction of the control relay
