Condition

Correction / Reference Item

Engine General Information and Diagnosis:  1A-58

Malfunction Indicator Lamp Does Not Come ON with Ignition Switch ON and Engine Stop (but 
Engine Can Be Started)

S5JB0A1104011

Wiring Diagram

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then, ECM 
being supplied with the main power, transmits indication ON signal of malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to combination 
meter in order to turn MIL ON. And then, combination meter turns MIL ON. When the engine starts to run and no 
malfunction is detected in the system, ECM transmits MIL indication OFF signal to combination meter in order to turn 
MIL OFF. And then, combination meter turns MIL OFF, but if a malfunction was or is detected, MIL remains ON even 
when the engine is running.

Troubleshooting

NOTE

• Before performed troubleshooting, be sure to read the “Precautions of ECM Circuit Inspection”.
• When measuring circuit voltage, resistance and/or pulse signal at ECM connector, connect the 

special tool to ECM and/or the ECM connectors referring to “Inspection of ECM and Its Circuits”.

 

Step

Do other warning lights come ON?

Go to Step 2.

Go to Step 5.

2

DTC check
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch turned 

OFF.

2) Turn ON ignition switch and check DTC.

Is there DTC(s) P1674 and/or P1685?

Replace “METER” fuse 
and check for short.

7

Combination meter power supply check
1) Remove combination meter referring to “Combination 

Meter Removal and Installation in Section 9C”.

2) Check for proper connection to combination meter 

connector at “G28-13” and “G28-15” terminals.

3) If OK, then turn ignition switch to ON position and 

measure voltage between combination meter connector 
at “G28-13” terminal and vehicle body ground.

Is it 10 – 14 V?

Go to Step 8.

“PPL/RED” wire is open 
circuit.

Engine General Information and Diagnosis:  1A-60

Malfunction Indicator Lamp Remains ON after Engine Starts

S5JB0A1104012

Wiring Diagram
Refer to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Does Not Come ON with Ignition Switch ON and Engine Stop (but Engine Can 
Be Started)”.

Circuit Description
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then, ECM 
being supplied with the main power, transmits indication ON signal of malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to combination 
meter in order to turn MIL ON. And then, combination meter turns MIL ON. When the engine starts to run and no 
malfunction is detected in the system, ECM transmits MIL indication OFF signal to combination meter in order to turn 
MIL OFF. And then, combination meter turns MIL OFF, but if a malfunction was or is detected, MIL remains ON even 
when the engine is running.

Troubleshooting

NOTE

• Before performed troubleshooting, be sure to read the “Precautions of ECM Circuit Inspection”.
• When measuring circuit voltage, resistance and/or pulse signal at ECM connector, connect the 

special tool to ECM and/or the ECM connectors referring to “Inspection of ECM and Its Circuits”.

 

8

Combination meter circuit check
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Measure resistance between “G28-15” terminal of 

combination meter connector and vehicle body ground.

Is resistance 1 

Ω

 or less?

Substitute a known-
good combination meter 
and recheck. If MIL still 
remains OFF, substitute 
a known-good ECM and 
recheck.

“BLK” wire is open or 
high resistance circuit.

DTC check
1) Start engine and recheck DTC of ECM and TCM (for A/T 

model) while engine running.

Is there any DTC(s)?

Go to Step 2 of “Engine 
and Emission Control 
System Check”, Step 2 
of “A/T System Check in 
Section 5A”.

Go to Step 2.
