Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Testing and Inspection
4. SES/MIL Lamp Remains Illuminated and Never Goes Out

CIRCUIT OPERATION

-

The service engine soon/malfunction indicator lamp power is supplied from the ignition switch.

-

The ECM <M/T>/PCM <A/T> controls the ground of the service engine soon/malfunction indicator lamp by turning the power transistor in the
ECM <M/T>/PCM <A/T> "ON" and "OFF."

COMMENT

-

In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that the ECM <M/T>/PCM <A/T> is detecting a problem in a sensor or actuator or that one of
the malfunctions listed at right has probably occurred.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

The most likely causes for this case:
-

Short-circuit between the service engine soon/malfunction indicator lamp and ECM <M/T>/PCM <A/T>.

-

Malfunction of the ECM <M/T>.

-

Malfunction of the PCM <A/T>.
