Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, the MIL should turn ON and OFF when commanded with a scan tool.
Circuit/System Testing
- 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. |
- Ignition OFF, disconnect connector C1 at the ECM.
- 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. |
- Ignition ON, verify that the MIL illuminates with a 3A fused jumper between ECM terminal C1-12 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. |
