NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) will be turned ON and remain ON until the en-
gine is running, if no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
stored. Battery voltage is supplied through the ignition
switch directly to the MIL telltale. The Engine Control Mod-
ule (ECM) controls the MIL by providing a ground path
through the MIL control circuit to turn ON the MIL.
Diagnostic Aids
An open ignition fuse F4 will cause the entire cluster to beinoperative.
Check the battery and ignition feed circuits for poor con-
nections if the MIL is intermittent.
Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing an intermittent
complaint, should be thoroughly checked for backed–out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly
formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal–to–wiring
connections or physical damage to the wiring harness.

NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (1.8L DOHC)
Circuit Description
When the ignition is turned ON, the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) will be turned ON and remain ON until the en-
gine is running, if no Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
stored. Battery voltage is supplied through the ignition
switch directly to the MIL telltale. The Engine Control Mod-
ule (ECM) controls the MIL by providing a ground path
through the MIL control circuit to turn ON the MIL.
Diagnostic Aids
An open ignition fuse F4 will cause the entire cluster to be
inoperative.
Check the battery and ignition feed circuits for poor con-
nections if the MIL is intermittent.Any circuitry, that is suspected as causing an intermittent
complaint, should be thoroughly checked for backed–out
terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly
formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal–to–wiring
connections or physical damage to the wiring harness.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. If the engine fails to start and the MIL is inopera-
tive, then the fault can be isolated to either the
ECM ignition feed. The battery feed, or a poor
ground at the engine block, or the ECM.
2. Probing the MIL circuit with a test light to ground
stimulates the ECM’s control of the MIL. If the MIL
illuminates, then the malfunction can be isolated to
the control of the MIL or a poor connection at the
MIL terminal to the ECM.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ON STEADY
(1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, the Malfunction In-
dicator Lamp (MIL) will be turned ON and remain ON until
the engine is running, if no Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTCs) are stored. Battery voltage is supplied through the
ignition switch directly to the MIL telltale. The Engine Con-
trol Module (ECM) controls the MIL by providing a ground
path through the MIL control circuit to turn ON the MIL.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the diag-
nostic table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-cords data on the scan tool, if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is stored
in the scan tool for later reference.
2. When the ignition is turned ON, the MIL should be
turned on and remain on until the engine is running
or if an emission related DTC is stored. This step
checks the ability of the ECM to control the MIL.
The scan tool has the ability to command the MIL
on and off.
4. A shorted MIL circuit can be diagnosed with a scan
tool.
6. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed.
Refer to the latest Techline information for repro-
gramming procedures.
