Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL),
significance

If the ECM recognizes malfunctions that lead to a
worsening of emissions values, it indicates them
by lighting the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

Installation location of Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Engine Control Module (ECM) switches on the Malfunction Indicator
Lamp (MIL) after ignition is switched on. Shortly after engine is started,
the exhaust MIL will go out. This requires, first of all, that the Engine
Control Module (ECM) does not detect a malfunction that worsens the
emissions values and, secondly, that activation of the lamp by the Engine
Control Module (ECM) is OK.
If malfunctions that worsen emissions are recognized during operation of
the engine, the ECM switches on the exhaust MIL in instrument cluster.
(These malfunctions are listed in the DTC table). An entry is made in DTC
memory at the same time.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) can blink or remain lit continuously.
DTC memory should be checked in either case Page 01
