MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT
Caution- Notice To Builder/Installer This engine requires use of
a MIL.
A MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) must be installed with this engine to be in
compliance with EPA and CARB regulations.
There are two lights on the dash to indicate engine related problems. The operator
is responsible to scan for illuminated bulbs during the course of engine operation.
The first indicator is the Check Engine Light. The MIL conveys to the operator that
a fault exists that is related to the engine’s control system. When this light is
illuminated, a fault code has been set that requires immediate attention or engine
component damage could conceivably occur.
Please stop operation of engine as soon as safely possible. Request that a
technician inspect the fault code setting. He or she will connect a scan tool to
determine the cause of the MIL illuminating, repair the problem, and clear the
codes. The MIL related codes are caused by sensor output and/or conditions that
adversely affect the operational output of the engine. Some of the components that
can cause problems are: crank sensor, cam sensor, fuel injectors, regulators,
ignition system and Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor.
NOTE: If the Check Engine light is illuminated, it will remain on until the
problem is corrected and the engine has gone through three consecutive
warm up cycles, or if the light has been cleared by a service technician with
a scan tool. A warm up cycle is a starting temperature close to ambient
increasing to operating temperature.
