Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83- In Instrument Cluster, Checking

Functional check on MIL
- Switch ignition on.
- The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) -K83- for self-diagnosis must illuminate.

- Start engine.
- Shortly after starting the engine the MIL goes out if no exhaust emission related DTC is stored in the DTC memory.

NOTE: The switch-on signal for the MIL is transferred via CAN-bus to the instrument cluster by the ECM. Check the data exchange between ECM and other CAN-bus control modules.
