Fig. 22 Location of Data Link Connector (DLC)
On-Board Diagnostics monitors the compo-
nents of your emission control system. Each
monitored component in your engine system
has been assigned a code . In case of a mal-
function, the component will be ident ified
and the fault stored as a code in the control
module memory .
The MIL light may also illuminate if there is a
leak in the on-board fue l vapor recovery sys-
tem.
If the light illuminates after a refuelling ,
stop the veh icle and make sure the fuel filler
cap is proper ly closed (on ly vehicles with gaso-
line engine)

the vehicle is operated at excessive speeds,
your vehicle also has an e lect ronic speed limit-
er. The e lectronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from going faster than the tire speed
rating . For more information

If the engine control unit receives fa ulty vehi-
cle roadspeed signals, the Malfunction Indica -
tor Lamp (MIL)
