Malfunction Indicator Light (Mil)

If DTCs are present, MIL is illuminated when malfunction is detected after 2 consecutive drive cycles. One exception is if a misfire malfunction is detected that may damage catalytic converter, the MIL will illuminate or flash immediately and DTC will be set. If malfunction is no longer present, MIL will go off between 3 to 4 drive cycles. DTC will be erased from memory after 41 engine warm-ups.
