Inspection procedure 3
The engine warning lamp does not illuminate right after
the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
Probable cause
Because there is a burnt-out bulb, the engine-ECU causes theengine warning lamp
to illuminate forfive seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned to ON.
If the engine warning lampdoes notilluminate immediately after the ignitionswitch
is turned to ON, one of the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.DBurnt-out bulb
