Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Testing and Inspection
MIL Circuit Troubleshooting
1. Connect an OBD II scan tool/Honda PGM Teste.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and read the OBD II scan tool/Honda PGM Tester.
Does the OBD II scan tool/Honda PGM Tester communicate with the ECM/PCM?
YES - Go to step 3.
NO - Go to "DLC Circuit Troubleshooting".
3. Check the OBD II scan tool/Honda PGM Tester for DTCs.
Are any DTCs indicated?
YES - Go to the DTC Troubleshooting Index. See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Descriptions
NO - Go to step 4.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and watch the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL).
Does the MIL come on and stay on for more than 20 seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (II)?
YES - If the MIL comes on and stays on, go to step 74. But if the MIL sometimes works normally, first check for these problems.
-
An intermittent short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E29) and the data link connector (DLC).
-
An intermittent short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E31) and the gauge assembly.
-
The readiness codes are not set. (This is indicated if the MIL blinks several times after you turn the ignition switch ON (II) and wait about 20
seconds.)
NO - If the MIL is always off, go to step 6. But if the MIL sometimes works normally, first check for these problems.
-
A loose No. 10 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
-
A loose No. 20 IG (50 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
-
A loose No. 6 ECU (ECM/PCM) (15 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
-
A loose No. 17 FUEL PUMP (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
-
A poor connection at ECM/PCM terminal E31.
-
An intermittent open in the GRN/WHT wire between the ECM/PCM (E31) and the gauge assembly.
-
An intermittent short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A21) and the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, intake manifold runner
control (IMRC) valve position sensor, or countershaft speed sensor (A/T).
-
An intermittent short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A20) and the throttle position (TP) sensor, or mainshaft speed sensor (A/T).
-
An intermittent short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E5) and the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor.
6. Check the low oil pressure light (with the ignition switch ON).
Is the low oil pressure light on?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Inspect the No. 10 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
YES - Go to step 8.
NO - Repair short in the wire between No. 10 METER (7.5 A) fuse and the gauge assembly. Also replace the No. 10 METER (7.5 A) fuse.
8. Inspect the No. 20 IG (50 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
