ENGINE (DIAGNOSTIC)
Malfunction Indicator Light
B: ACTIVATION OF MALFUNCTION
INDICATOR LIGHT
1) When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine
off), the malfunction indicator light in the combina-
tion meter illuminates.
NOTE:
If the malfunction indicator light does not illuminate,
perform the diagnosis of malfunction indicator light
circuit or the combination meter circuit. <Ref. to
EN(H4DOTC)-52, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR
LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, Malfunction Indica-
tor Light.>
2) After starting the engine, the malfunction indica-
tor light goes out.If it does not, either the engine or
the emission control system is malfunctioning.3) If the diagnosis system detects a misfire which
could damage the catalyst, the malfunction indica-
tor light will blink at a cycle of 1 Hz.
4) When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine
off) or to “START” with the test mode connector
connected, the malfunction indicator light blinks at
a cycle of 3 Hz.

ENGINE (DIAGNOSTIC)
Malfunction Indicator Light
Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between ECM con-
nector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(B134) No. 17 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage less than 1 V? Go to step 4.Go to step 2.
2 CHECK POOR CONTACT.Does the malfunction indicator
light come on when shaking or
pulling the ECM connector and
harness?Repair the poor
contact in ECM
connector.Go to step 3.
3 CHECK ECM CONNECTOR.Is the ECM connector correctly
connected?Replace the ECM.
<Ref. to
FU(H4DOTC)-50,
Engine Control
Module (ECM).>Repair the con-
nection of ECM
connector.
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINA-
TION METER AND ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Remove the combination meter. <Ref. to
IDI-10, Combination Meter Assembly.>
3) Disconnect the connector from ECM and
combination meter.
4) Measure the resistance of harness
between ECM and combination meter connec-
tor.

coupling connector
5 CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in combination meter con-
nector.Is there poor contact in combi-
nation meter connector?Repair poor con-
tact in combination
meter connector.Go to step 6.
6 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN COMBINA-
TION METER AND IGNITION SWITCH CON-
NECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between combination
meter connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal
(i10) No. 9 (+) — Chassis ground (
−):Is the voltage more than 10 V? Replace the board
of combination
meter. <Ref. to IDI-
10, Combination
Meter Assembly.>Check the follow-
ing and repair if
necessary.
