Malfunction Indicator Light (Mil)
NOTE:
MIL may also be referred to as CHECK ENGINE light.
All vehicles are equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) located on the instrument panel. MIL will glow when ignition switch is turned to ON position (bulb check) and engine is not running. Light should not flash at this time and should go out when engine is started.
The MIL will automatically flash at 50,000, 80,000 and 100,000 miles on a warmed running vehicle. This does not indicate a system fault; it indicates system inspection and/or system component replacement is required. After necessary services have been performed, turn off MIL by moving cancel switch to opposite position. Cancel switch is located below steering column lower trim panel.
- At 50,000 Miles - Replace PCV valve, inspect EGR system.
- At 80,000 Miles - Replace oxygen sensor.
- At 100,000 Miles - Replace PCV valve, inspect catalytic converter for plugging, inspect EGR system, replace charcoal canister, inspect ECM and related sensors.
