Ignition voltage is supplied to the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The engine control module (ECM) turns the MIL ON by grounding the MIL control circuit.

Ignition ON, the MIL should turn ON and OFF when commanded with a scan tool.

1. Ignition ON, verify that the instrument panel cluster (IPC) warning indicators are illuminated.

⇒	If the IPC warning indicators are not illuminated, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, replace the IPC.

2. Ignition OFF, disconnect connector X1 at the ECM.
3. Ignition ON, verify that the MIL is not illuminated.

⇒	If the MIL is illuminated inspect the MIL control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.

4. Ignition ON, verify that the MIL illuminates with a 3A fused jumper between the MIL control circuit X1 27 and ground.

⇒	If the MIL does not illuminate test the MIL control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal replace the ECM.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
