MIL Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is used to indicate vehicle malfunctions detected by the ECM. By turning the ignition switch to ON, power is supplied to the MIL circuit, and the ECM provides the circuit ground which illuminates the MIL.

The MIL operation can be checked visually. When the ignition switch is first turned ON, the MIL should illuminate and should then turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated or does not illuminate, conduct the following troubleshooting procedure. If the ECM detects any trouble, the MIL illuminates. At this time, the ECM records a DTC in the memory.

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK THAT MIL ILLUMINATES

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Check the illumination of the MIL.

Result

2.

CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(e) Check if any DTCs have been stored. Note any DTCs.

(f) Clear the DTCs (See page 2016 MY Sienna [12/2015 - 08/2016]; 2GR-FE (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(g) Check if the MIL goes off.

3.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)

(a) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Check if the MIL is illuminated.
