On-Board Diagnostics
Fig . 24 Locat ion of Data Link Connector (D LC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the components
of your emission control system. Each monitored
component in your engine system has been as­
signed a code . In case of a malfunction, the com­
ponent w ill be identified and the fault stored as a
code in the control module memory.
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fuel vapor recovery system .
If the light illuminates after a refuel ing, stop the
veh icle and make sure the fue l filler cap is prop­
erly closed (on ly vehicles with gasol ine engine)
¢page 298.
In order to make an accurate d iagnosis, the stor­
ed data can only be disp layed using specia l diag­
nostic equipm ent (ge ne ric scan tool for OBD) .
26

ment, push the plug into the Data Link Connector
(DLC). The DLC is located to the r ight of the hood
release

sonal use. Incorrect usage can cause malfunc­
tions, which can increase the risk of a colli­
sion!
