6-46 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
TABLE A-1 MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CIRCUIT CHECK - LAMP DOES
NOT COME “ON” AT IGNITION SWITCH ON (BUT ENGINE AT STOP)
WIRING DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then,
ECM being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the engine
starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is detected,
MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.

ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check that each spark plug sparks.
Are above check results satisfactory?Go to Step 4. Check ignition sys-
tem parts (Refer to
Section 6F1)
