The emissions warning lamp in the Driver Information Module (DIM) has a warning symbol. This warning symbol varies depending on the market. The warning symbols are:

The warning symbol lights when the ignition key is turned to position II and goes out when the engine is started if the engine management system does not detect any faults.
The warning lamp is directly connected to the engine control module (ECM).
The warning lamp will light if there is a fault in one of the parameters in the engine management system. The warning lamp will also light in response to a request transmitted via the Control area network (CAN) if there is a fault in one of the following systems which affects emissions:
- transmission control module (TCM)
