B: ACTIVATION OF MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
1) When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine
OFF), the malfunction indicator light (A) in the com-
bination meter illuminates.
NOTE:
If the engine malfunction indicator light does not il-
luminate, perform diagnostics of malfunction indi-
cator light circuit or the combination meter circuit.
DICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, Malfunc-
tion Indicator Light.>
2) After starting the engine, the malfunction indica-
tor light goes out. If it does not go off, either the en-
gine or emission control system has malfunction.
3) Turn the ignition switch to OFF and connect the
test mode connector.
(1) When the ignition switch is turned to ON (en-
gine OFF), the malfunction indicator light illumi-
nates.
(2) After the engine starts, malfunction indicator
light blinks in a cycle of 0.5 Hz.(During diagno-
sis)
(3) Malfunction indicator light blinks at a cycle of
3 Hz after diagnosis if there is no trouble. Mal-
function indicator light illuminates if faulty.
