DESCRIPTION
The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is used to indicate vehicle malfunctions detected by the ECM.
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, 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 to the ON position, the MIL should be illuminated and should then turn off. If the MIL remains illuminated or is not illuminated, conduct the following troubleshooting procedure using the intelligent tester.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 CHECK THAT MIL IS ILLUMINATED
Result
2 CHECK WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF
Standard: MIL goes off.
3 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
OK: MIL is not illuminated.
4 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
Standard resistance (Check for Open)
Standard resistance (Check for Short)
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
5 CHECK THAT ENGINE STARTS
Result
HINT: *: The intelligent tester cannot communicate with the ECM.
6 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - BODY GROUND)
Standard voltage
7 CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
Standard resistance (Check for short)
Standard resistance (Check for Short)
REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the sensors mounted in front of and behind the three-way
catalyst (TWC) to monitor its
efficiency. The first sensor, an Air Fuel ratio (A/F) sensor, sends pre-catalyst
A/F ratio information to the
ECM. The second sensor, a heated oxygen sensor (O2S), sends ...

DTC B1182/19 Short to GND in Driver Side Squib 2nd Step Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The driver side squib 2nd step circuit consists of the center airbag sensor
assembly, the spiral cable and
the steering pad.
The circuit instructs the SRS to deploy when deployment conditions are met.

System description
1. GENERAL
This system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect any
obstacles at the corners and the rear of the vehicle.
The system then informs the driver of the distance
between the sensors and the obstacles as well as
their positions by indicating them on the clearance
sonar displ ...
