Faults with the following items will illuminate the MILa. Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
b. Mass Air Flow sensor (MAFS)
c. Throttle position sensor (TPS)
d. Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECTS)
e. Idle speed control actuator (ISCA)
f. Injectors
g. ECM
Refer to "INSPECTION CHART FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTC)" for more information.
1. After turning ON the ignition key, ensure that the light illuminates for about 5 seconds and then goes out.
2. If the light does not illuminate, check for an open circuit in the harness, a blown fuse or a blown bulb.
Self-Diagnosis
If a sensor connector is disconnected with the ignition switch turned on, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is
recorded. In this case, disconnect the battery negative terminal ( - ) for 15 seconds or more, and the diagnosis
memory will be erased.
THE RELATION BETWEEN DTC AND DRIVING PATTERN IN EOBD SYSTEM
1.When the same malfunction is detected and maintained during two sequential driving cycles, the MIL will
automatically illuminate.
2. The MIL will go off automatically if no fault is detected after 3 sequential driving cycles.
3. A Diagnostic Trouble Code(DTC) is recorded in ECM memory when a malfunction is detected after two sequential
driving cycles. The MIL will illuminate when the malfunction is detected on the second driving cycle.
If a misfire is detected, a DTC will be recorded, and the MIL will illuminate, immediately after a fault is first
detected.
