MIL Circuit: Wiring Diagram
HINT:
Troubleshoot each problem symptom in accordance with the chart below.
TROUBLESHOOTING INDEX REFERENCE
| MIL remains illuminated | Start inspection from step 1 |
| MIL not illuminated | Start inspection from step 3 |
- CHECK MIL CONDITION (WHETHER MIL TURNS OFF)
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester on.
- Check whether any DTCs have been stored (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ). Note them down if necessary.
- Clear DTCs (See DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).
- Check if the MIL turns off.
OK: MIL turns off.
OK : REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC
NG : GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
- Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Check the MIL is not illuminated.
OK: MIL is not illuminated.
- Reconnect the ECM connector.
OK : REPLACE ECM
NG : GO TO NEXT STEP
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
- Disconnect the J35 combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition W (A6-8) - EFI (J35-12) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition W (A6-8) or EFI (J35-12) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
OK : REPAIR OR REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
- CHECK MIL (MIL IS ILLUMINATED)
- Check if the MIL is illuminated when the engine switch is turns on (IG).
OK: MIL is illuminated.
OK : SYSTEM IS OK
NG : GO TO NEXT STEP
- Check if the MIL is illuminated when the engine switch is turns on (IG).
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
- Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage
VOLTAGE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition W (A6-8) - Body ground 10 to 14 V - Reconnect the ECM connector.
OK : REPLACE ECM
NG : go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (COMBINATION METER - ECM)
- Disconnect the A6 ECM connector.
- Disconnect the J35 combination meter connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance (Check for open)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition W (A6-8) - EFI (J35-12) Below 1 Ω Standard resistance (Check for short)
RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONTester Connection Specified Condition W (A6-8) or EFI (J35-12) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
OK : REPAIR OR REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
