  If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) comes on in your Toro Lawn Mower, there could be several reasons. First, the engine might be too hot, so turn it off and let it cool. It could also be due to old gas in the tank, so replace it with new gas. Make sure the fuel-shutoff valve is completely open. Check if the air cleaner is dirty and clean or replace it. Ensure the battery is charged or replace it if necessary. Also, verify that a good 12-volt battery is being used and is fully charged. Finally, check and replace any blown fuses.
