Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Testing and Inspection
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative malfunction indicator lamp condition. If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on and stays on with
the engine running, refer to Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators for diagnosis.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIR-BAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
If the malfunction indicator lamp fails to light during the bulb test (about two seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the On position), replace the
malfunction indicator lamp bulb with a known good unit. If the indicator lamp still fails to operate, diagnosis of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus should be performed with a DRB scan tool. For diagnosis of the malfunction indicator lamp and
the instrument cluster circuitry, see Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Panel/Instrument Cluster.
