Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
Among the on-board diagnostic items, a Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminates to notify the driver of the emission control items when a
malfunction is detected. However, when an irregular signal returns to normal and the engine control module judges that it has returned to normal,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp is switched off. Moreover, when the ignition switch is turned off, the lamp is switched off. Even if the ignition
switch is turned on again, the lamp does not illuminates until the malfunction is detected. Here, immediately after the ignition switch is turned on,
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp is lit for 5 seconds to indicate that the Malfunction Indicator Lamp operates normally.
