Circuit/System Description
Ignition 1 voltage is supplied directly to the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). The engine control module (ECM) turns the MIL ON by sending a request to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) via the CAN communication circuit. The MIL should be on steady with the ignition ON and the engine OFF. When the engine is started, the MIL should turn OFF.
