Fuel Cap Indicator Lamp

The fuel cap indicator lamp (FCIL) is a communications network message sent by the PCM. The PCM sends the message to illuminate the lamp when the strategy determines that there is a failure in the vapor management system due to the fuel filler cap not being sealed properly. This would be detected by the inability to pull vacuum in the fuel tank, after a fueling event.

NOTE: The FCIL on the Crown Victoria/Grand Marquis, Explorer Sport Trac, and Ranger is a dedicated output signal that is controlled by the PCM.
