Malfunction Indicator Light (Mil)

All models are equipped with an MIL. MIL is not used to retrieve DTCs. As a bulb check, MIL illuminates for 2 seconds when ignition is on and engine is not running. MIL also illuminates when a system failure has been detected and a corresponding DTC has been set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory. Not all trouble codes will activate MIL. If MIL is on and no DTCs are in memory, problem may be intermittent. See INTERMITTENTS in the TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
