Vehicles equipped with the ABS are also equipped with

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of

an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on

along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS

system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by

turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the

ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap-

proximately four seconds. The light should then turn off

unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is

detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light

inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is

applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-

tion.
NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

16. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part

of an Onboard Diagnostic (OBD) system which

monitors the emissions and engine control sys-

tem. If the bulb does not come on during

starting, have the condition investigated promptly.
If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it

suggests a potential engine control problem and the need

for system service.
Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not

need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as

soon as possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the engine
