Among the on-board diagnostic items, Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp) illuminates to notify the driver
of an emission control malfunction. However, when an irregular signal returns to normal and the engine control module judges that it has returned to
normal, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (SERVICE ENGINE SOON or Check Engine Lamp) will switch off.
There are two methods for checking the indicator lamp burn out: When the ignition switch is in ON position, the indicator lamp is illuminated, and then
extinguished few seconds later. When the ignition switch is in ON position and the engine starts, the indicator lamp is extinguished.

SOON or Check Engine Lamp) is also illuminated.
