Fig.1    MIL exhaust emissions warning lamp

Emission-specific faults recognised by the engine control unit are indicated by activating the exhaust emissions warning lamp.

→ → Fitting location of exhaust emissions warning lamp (CHECK)

Note:

Exhaust emissions warning lamp may flash or be constantly lit. Fault memory is always to be interrogated.

Flashing of exhaust emissions warning lamp

  • ◆ A fault has been detected which will cause catalytic converter damage in this driving status. In such cases, vehicle is only to be driven at reduced power (until MIL goes out or lights constantly) and fault is to be rectified as quickly as possible.

Constant lighting of exhaust emissions warning lamp

  • ◆ A fault detrimental to emissions has occurred. Interrogate engine control unit or automatic gearbox fault memory.
  • ◆ In the event of engine running problems or a customer complaint without lighting of the exhaust emissions warning lamp, check operation of warning lamp and then interrogate fault memory, as faults may also have been stored which do not immediately activate the exhaust emissions warning lamp.

Fig.2    EPC warning lamp

 
A24-0732

"EPC" is the abbreviation for Electronic Power Control, in other words electronic engine output control (electronic throttle).

→ Fitting location of EPC warning lamp

The engine control unit switches on the EPC lamp when the ignition is switched on.

After starting engine, engine control unit checks all components of relevance to operation of electronic throttle system.

During this component check, the EPC lamp lights for approx. 3 seconds. The lamp lights continuously if a fault is already established in the course of this check.

If faults in the electronic throttle system are detected during engine operation, the engine control unit activates the EPC lamp. At the same time, an entry is made in the engine control unit fault memory.
